Con air is on.....


Whew! I'm pooped!


Today was a great day . But I worked my butt off.
It was already pretty warm when I got up this morning . So I skipped Lucy, put on my cleaning music and got to work.



I swept and cleaned both porches, cleaned out and vacuumed the truck , washed the outside windows , then the inside windows,(of the house)
straightened the house up, and took the trash out .



By then , I was starving. Went and ate lunch and then went to look for more boxes for yard sale stuff. there were no boxes anywhere. I finally found some behind Goody's .





I went to pet "whatever" to get some cat litter.


This poor cat was trying to sleep while some kid poked a stick at him/her.



Apparently it's 85 year old owner died and now this baby needs a new "senior home"


G5 , Nosey.......aren't you tempted?









Then I saw the poor "tumor mice "again.
LOL













I don't know if rats and mice play like cats do , but these two looked like they were trying to kill each other.



(note the huge ...um ...tumors) lol









The females seem to be much more civilized.



Wonder why?





Then I went to the grocery store. I was ready for nap time when I got home. But nooooo...
I hosed off and swept the porch , sorted some more yard sale stuff. And by then ...I was plum give out.






Picture it......today, right here , it's like summer in San Diego......




So...instead of giving in to my nap urge.




I got a book and a pillow and a little blanket and went and lay down on my dock and read.










I could have stayed out there for hours if the book hadn't been so crappy.







It was also tempting to just take my nap out there . Maybe if i hadn't been wearing shorts , I would have.







Oh ...it was Heavenly!!!














My waterfront ...lol








I know some of you are still dealing with blizzard weather...and MAN, does my heart break for you!!!!


Hope you all had a great day!

Luv me

The day in pictures.........................


Happy Monday Y'all,


Today was the first sunny day since I don't remember when.

This was the bright sky when I left the house this morning.

I was giddy!!!

Today was also a pretty busy day. You didn't know housewives (without kids) could be busy , did you?










There are quite a few homeless people in this town . But most of them stay near downtown.

Not this guy. He's one of the "regulars" and we assume he stays in the woods somewhere, even through the winter.

When I first moved here ,Floozie1 and I used to jokingly call him my boyfriend. Now EVERYONE I know calls him that.

They'll be "Oh , hey i saw your boyfriend today."

At first I thought he might be my first husband.

He's not. LOL

But I am dying to know his story.
(I see him every day)So the next time my friend Poodles comes out here, in June ,I'm going to have her talk to him. I'll let ya know what we find out.














Then I was off to the thrift stores.











I really ,really want this picture that they have.

It used to be $95.00

Today ,I noticed it was marked down to $55.00

Hmmmmm...VERY tempting.









Saw the FIRST sign of spring!!

Last year these things bloomed and the next day rain and wind stripped EVERY last petal right off of them.

I hope that doesn't happen this year.It gives me hope . :)












Next stop ...the car wash.

My poor truck has not been washed in ages.

I have noticed that white actually stays clean looking ,longer than my black truck did.

Who knew?














Next stop ...lunch.

MMMMMMM. It was delicious too.

I wish i could eat that salsa at EVERY meal.














Then , my plan was ....since it was so warm and sunny , I was going to go down town and sit outside and finish the book I was reading and take some pictures.





















Well, the sun went away as soon as I got down there, found a parking place and walked down the street.













Some fountain-y thing. :)
That's the technical term.




So I took a few pictures......















Nice SILVER brick wall. What were they thinking?
















Some old architecture. and an eagle?


















This reminded me of my dad and my husband.
















A store window. LOVE those kind of bathtubs.














Been here over three years and never noticed this. ack!!


















Then stopped here on my way home.

I was fresh out of happy hour :)













Then I was good and went and forced myself to workout.


I must say , it was not as horrible as it was the other day. But man ...today, when i was driving the backs of my arms were just burning.


More like screaming "work out you flabbo!!"








I saw the lake on the way home and thought "oh my beloved Spring ....where ARE you?"

Just think ...2 more months and I could have my flabby ass out there in the boat.

:))


Hope you all had a great Monday!

Luv me

p.s.
I just spent like an hour teying to add links to the blogs I read ...and only 3 or 4 of them show up.
