Girl Scouts...
OK, so of course my kid is the ONLY one not wearing her vest. She started the day with it on, but as soon as she realized that the troop numbers had been sewn on in the wrong numeric order, off it came. I don't think anyone else would have noticed...but she did!
My mother is my seamstress. She likes to keep busy and so I try to find simple tasks for her to do. But even though I wrote the numbers down, she got the order mixed up. The patches are supposed to be iron on, but they don't stay put.
Saturday morning we went up to the Newswatch 16 Newsroom for a tour with Noreen Clark the early morning meteorologist. My two observations about her are that she must enjoy listening to herself talk, and that she forgot she was talking to nine and ten year olds. Oh, and one more thing. She did pause to take a breath long enough to ask a couple of times if anyone had any questions, but then didn't continue the pause to allow for the questions. I think most of us were afraid to ask questions in case her answer took twenty two minutes.
We didn't get to go out to the "back yard" where they do their weather from because it was too icy and that bummed me out.
And then it is that wonderful time of year, Girl Scout Cookie time! My favorites are the thin mints, but the samoas are pretty darn good too...you know they (Edy's) even makes Samoa ice cream! Which I have to keep out of the house...
Anyway, Nicole is on a mission to sell 300 boxes of cookies. That means her mother has added assistant cookie seller to her list of job descriptions. Well, yes, she is asking herself. But she isn't supposed to go anywhere unaccompanied or door to door. Well, that eliminates lots of opportunities. So I do carry one of the order forms with me. In fact, if any of you would like cookies, I will even send them to you!
Other than catching up here at home (blogging, blogging for the parenting blog I also write for, soliciting another endorsement or two for the Bible Study, working on missions and outreach stuff, you name it...) I did go out to finish up one more chart this morning. So off I went, did the chart, went to the bank, plunked down the deposit for my body work (remember when I got rear ended? $2700 of damage) and then made one more stop where I could possible rack up another couple of boxes of cookies. And guess what? Realized I had my slacks on inside out and had been wearing them that way so far all morning. Oy Vey.

LOL!!! Do you hear me laughing right now in the Panera?!?! Go read about my morning at my blog!
OUCHEE!!! Please tell me we're not getting more snow; I haven't recovered from my ACCIDENT this morning!
HUGS!
P.S. What do you do for fun?!? ;-)
What a hoot! :) i am staying in today, i had the great joy of babysitting 2 delightful toddlers this morning, my family room has millions of tiny playmobile parts all over the deep shag carpet, and a few crumbled pretzels, but also the echos of giggles and imaginative play that i adore! anyway, fighting off (hopefully) a sinus infection, i need a nap!
blessings!
Okay, now when we get up at o'dark early, and it is dark and my husband puts his tagless T on inside out, I can understand that. But how do you put slacks on inside out? They must be elastic waist and no pockets? Wow. (Can you hear me sniggering?)
We are having GORGEOUS sunny weather here. It's cold, 20s at night and 40s during the day, but oh the winter sun is the most glorious sight!! I got my hedge trimmed (read about it in my blog the next time it rains here) and a prune tree planted, played pirates with my son and am planning to plant another pear tree...Will prune roses and plums today and do some clean up...and I'm hoping for weather like this (a little warmer perhaps) so I can paint the house!!
I love winter--going into spring.
