***~ fLoWer POWER FeVeR ~ ***

I am SUPER-stoked about having 70 degree weather Saturday....!!!!

And to add to the fever, Home Depot is having a Wonderful sale on gardening supplies, my trunk is full...w/ potting soil, Round-up etc...
I'm a little leary of planting too many plants right now, because it just too cold and frost is still happening...but hoping to plant some of my seed packets....

I have to say I have the "Flower Gardening Bug", guess I got it from my Mom, Grandma and Great-Grandma....I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE color outside...the pinks, reds, yellows, oranges....my husband is not too fond of my obsession ( hey, it's better than some of the alternatives that people are addicted too...that's what I'm screaming)...

So bloggers....Won't be blogging much this weekend if any....I will be out in God's Beautiful Creation........With the "FEVER"....."FLOWER Gardening FEVER"!!!!!!!!!!!

1. April rolls in at the end of this week and in celebration of that infamous date (April 1st) answer this question-What is something foolish you've done?

WOW!!! I HAVE TO NARROW IT DOWN....I GUESS IT WOULD BE HAVING A HEAVY-FOOT, I HAVE BEEN CAUGHT A COUPLE OF TIMES WHICH IS NOT FUN...AND DEFINATELY NOT CHEAP. WHEN I WAS 20 YRS. OLD I WAS SPEEDING A GOOD BIT, LET'S JUST SAY ABOUT 30-35 MILES PER HOUR OVER THE SPEED LIMIT, AT NIGHT, IN A "WORK ZONE"....NEEDLESS TO SAY I DIDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH BALDWIN PD ROAD TRAP....THEY CAUGHT ME...THANKFULLY I GOT IT LOWERED SOME B/C ME BEING UNDER 21, I WOULD HAVE LOST MY LICENSE...AND THIS WAS MY 1ST TICKET...

2. With April comes Easter and that classic edible treat known as Peeps...so tell me...what's your favorite way to fix/eat chicken? That wasn't what you were expecting, was it? I 'fooled' you. teehee.

I LOVE ME SOME FRIED CHICKEN, BUT I ALSO LOVE ME SOME GRILLED CHICKEN...AND OF COURSE....SPICY CHICKEN....ANYWHERE I GO I TRY TO GET ME SOME SPICY...I'M NOT A "PLAIN JANE" EATER....I LIKE A LITTLE KICK!!

3. What's the best museum you've ever visited? Or your favorite? Or the one you'd most like to visit?

MUSEUM...HMMMM...NOT SO SURE I'VE BEEN TO ONE, MAYBE ON A FIELD TRIP IN SCHOOL...DON'T THINK I REALLY CARE TO GO TO ONE EITHER....SORRY :(

4. You know what they say about April showers...what's your preference-a shower or a bath?

A REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HOT SHOWER....GOSH, I LOVE GETTING SHOWERS...MY MOM ALWAYS SAYS IT DRIES YOUR SKIN OUT, OH, WELL GUESS THAT'S WHY I'M STOCKED ON LOTIONS....I ALWAYS GET AT LEAST 2 PER DAY...AND SOMETIMES 3-4....DID I SAY I "LOVE" TAKING SHOWERS!!! BATHS ARE NICE BUT JUST DON'T FEEL CLEAN LAYING IN THE WATER YOUR WASHING YOURSELF IN...THEIR RELAXING THOUGH.

5. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"...fact or fiction? Why?

I WOULD AGREE...IF YOUR WITH SOMEONE 24/7 THERE LEAVES NO CONVERSATION TO ME...PLUS I THINK YOU START TAKING PEOPLE FOR GRANTED. WHEN YOU HAVE ABSENCE IF EVEN FOR SEVERAL HOURS, I THINK IT HELPS....

GEORGIA PEACHES!!!!!!!!!! Mmmmmm.....THEY ARE SO SWEET & JUICY!!!

7. What is going on in the world today that affects you the most?

INCREASED INSURANCE PREMIUMS - OURS AT WORK IS GOING UP AGAIN IN JULY...I WORK MAINLY FOR INSURANCE, BUT MAKES ME SO DOG-GONE MAD WHEN OTHERS SIT ON THEIR LAZY BUTTS AND JUST LIVE OFF THE GOVERNMENT & OTHERS THINKING WE OWE THEM FOR LIVING...OUR CO-PAYS AND MEDICINES WENT UP IN DECEMBER...NOW THE MONTLY COSTS OF EVEN HAVING IT....WE'RE HAVING TO PAY EXTRA FOR THE LAZY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

{Weekend RECAP}

The weather wasn't too great, but had a pretty good weekend. Friday had to work but after work me, hubs and Chloe had to run a few errands, grabbed a bite for supper. Saturday, we got Chloe & her pink suitcase ready for the GRANDPARENTS house...we met 1/2 way to drop Chloe off with them. I was soooo...hoping for sunny/warm weather to do some much needed yardwork before going on our "date night" but with the rain predications at 80%, we opted to go to the movies early and dinner ( was thrilled to use my $9 Fandango movie deal...didn't feel guilty only paying $4.50 per movie ticket). We went to the mall a little early and looked around, ate a few samples in the food court, decided to have a quick snack before the movies started and headed upstairs to get a good seat ( I have a thing about sitting right in the center of the theater). Movie was funny..."HALL PASS"....
We left the movies with me craving seafood, so we headed over to Red Lobster ( of course I had a coupon...I'm sometimes known as the "COUPON QUEEN")....Was suppose to be a wait but wasn't too bad only 15 minutes....Food was DELCIOUS!!!!

So Date Night was a SUCCESS....All healthy & well....And Really Enjoyed some one-on-one time together!!!

Sunday was church day....Received 2 really good sermons Sunday morning and Sunday night....God was truely speaking through the sermons...and of course we had "family day" with my parents/grandparents and other extended family....Always nice getting to sit and chat with everyone...and of course Chloe entertaining them as well :)
