1. The weather has been horrible here. Lots of storms, hail, even tornados! Thankfully we haven’t had anything near us that was too bad, just some pea sized hail. Miss Priss did freak out because her new car was outside!

2. Have I mentioned that we bought Miss Priss a new car? It’s a 2008 Ford Fusion, very cute and has some neat features that she loves. We feel she’s safer driving this than she was driving the Jeep….though the Jeep was fun!

3. We went out to eat with family for Brandon’s 23rd birthday to Taverna in downtown. I LOVE that place! They have the best Italian food! I have found out that having my best friend and my sister together with bottles of wine = one fun time!

4. We are taking Brandon to a Ranger’s baseball game for his birthday. D bought tickets right behind the first base dugout, and we get access to the Cuervo Club, which means all the food and drinks we want! I’m not a big baseball fan, but it’s what he wanted…so I’ll grin and bear it!

5. Speaking of grinning and bearing it…..I had to have my annual mammogram this week. UGH! I swear that machine was created by a man! I know it’s something we have to do, but can’t they figure out a way of doing it without smashing me like pancake?!

6. I am getting that gardener’s itch! I am wanting to do some more planting in the flower beds here but the weather won’t cooperate! I have pots that are just waiting for new flowers!!

7. My Lady Banks climbing rose (thanks Stacy & burntofferings for the name) is in full bloom! It’s absolutely gorgeous!

Lady Banks Roses on our back porch!

8. I love Spring, love the flowers, the new blooms, everything turning green, etc. What I hate about Spring is that the bugs and other small critters start coming out. The other night I was walking through the dark house, barefoot, checking doors before setting the alarm when I felt something under my foot. I yelled. Switched on the light and there was one big honking spider!! D had to come kill it and I, no longer walk barefoot in the house.

9. The other thing I did this week was weed out the flowerbeds. I spent the whole time a nervous wreck looking out for snakes! I am deathly afraid of snakes. Thankfully, Brandon and our adopted son, Daniel showed up and took over! I helped though, I held the garbage bag.

10. Ok, you all know I have mentioned “Share a Square” many times on here, and thanks to everyone who has contributed to it! The goal was met and then some! But now let me share with you something I think that is really neat from the creator of “Share A Square!“

11. Shelly, the creator of “Share A Square” is a dreamer, a big dreamer and she has a dream about raising the funds to send kids with cancer to camp. Read all about it here (after you finish with my 13 and comment of course! )

12. And while I’m sharing the word, don’t forget that it’s only three months till we give out the afghans and we need those little bags to include with them for the tags!! What bags you ask?

13. These bags! Share A Square Bag Project, click the button and read what it’s all about! We are really needing some generous volunteers to donate to this great project!! It’s getting close folks and we REALLY need some bags, so what do you say, wanna be a bag lady/man?
