Get some rest ~ hopefully the computer situation will be resolved when you return.
Looks like my wonderful DH doesn't need to fly to West Virginia to pick up and fly a plane back here ... one less To Do item on his To Do list!
Our new replacement credit card is working just fine.
73 and sunny here tomorrow.

It's dang cold here this morning, but there's a promise of a high of 53. We'll see what happens.
I was surprised to see my little tomatoes are sprouting. Yeah! I can see 8 this morning. I'll airate the soil this morning and give them a spray of water. Tthis is exciting. The blackberry bush is leafing out as well.
I have to go to the bank this morning. It's the only errand on my list. I may stop at HD to get a furnace filter and batteries for the fire alarms. Then my SIL can get on the 8 foot ladder and change things out. I'll be here a year on March 28. It certainly has flown by. There's nothing worse than an alarm that needs a battery. The beeping never stops. I do have a wired system, so I don't get it. Most likely the batteries are for backup in case the power goes out.
The oldest GC are coming over on Sunday afternoon while their mom tutors. She has 2 students that she tutors. One of the moms is from our NY stomping grounds. Small world!
A friend and I are going to Mass on Palm Sunday. I need to go to confession first. Saturday is confession day. Since church is on the way to DD1's house I think I'll put a roast in the crock pot and take it over there. She can cook the rest of dinner and I'll happily sponge off her.
The Great Wolf Lodge trip was great for the kiddos. I got food poisoning from the artichoke hearts on the buffet. Because I didn't go to the emergency room, they say it was not from their food. It was the only meal I ate there, the rest was food from home. No one else ate them but me. I have to decide how big of a stink I'll make. I put it on FB and on a complaint site. Today I will email the FDA and BBB. People need to know there are safety issues with their food. The room was dirty and falling apart too. But, the kiddos had a good time. I guess that's what's important. Not safety, but a good time.

Lynn, I am glad you had a nice trip (except for the food poisoning, of course!) And yay for sprouting tomatoes!
My wonderful DH just called and he was GROUCHY. (Something about computers, bureaucracy, idiots, inadequate training, etc.) I decided not to press for details.
I ordered a few items of clothing online and it arrived today. I had it all spread out on the couch and now it's got a happily sleeping cat on it. I'm probably the only person to get cat fur on brand new clothes before they are even worn!
I hope he is less grouchy tonight.

Happy Friday night!
The pup was just having a fit over at the patio door again. Gives me the creeps. I looked out and didn't see anything. Who knows.
Sharon, I know it's easy for us to say since we aren't the ones putting in the hours, but I'm sure you keep reminding her that it's only a small window in life. That's what I had to keep telling DD, and now I'm still dealing with that with DS. Not fun, but they need to keep the eye on the prize. DS has had ups and down this week at school. They took his car keys away. Not that I'm upset about that, because at his school, only seniors are allowed to have cars there, unless you have a compelling reason. He does, since he's in the reserves, but he's not supposed to drive other than those weekends. Not sure if he's made any headway getting them back. I just hope they don't continue to give him tickets or have it impounded. He's had so many tickets I'd hate to know how much moenye he's wasted this year. Now I have to figure out how he's going to get from school and back on Easter weekend.
Dutt, sorry to hear your experience wasn't that great at Great Wolf. I've never been there personally, but know an awful lot of people that have been there and they love it. I'm glad you are feeling better. Nothing worse than being sick when you are away from home.
I think DD is getting alittle homesick. She says she's ok during the day, but in the evening everyone is oh the phone talking to their SO, and she doesn't have that. So, the pup and I took a silly picture and sent it to her. I just ordered a key chain with the picture of the three of us on Family day, and am having it mailed to her. She wants some reminders of home sent to her so I'll work on getting that together this weekend, and get a package mailed to her this coming week. She should have everything by Easter.
I'm going to start working on my taxes this weekend. Won't be sending them in until tax time closes in since I'll have to pay a little, but at least I will know how much the damage is. Wish me luck!!

I woke up to snow in Lincoln and drove about 3 hours on icy roads. At least they weren't closed. I am not in my home away from home and it's snowing. Supposed to have 5-8 inches of snow here. Out on the eastern plains of Colorado, they are to have 16-20 inches of blowing snow. That means the highway I drove here on will be closed and what I see on the way home will look nothing like what it did today. There was no snow out there. The wind was blowing by the time I got closer to Denver.
I emailed the person who I was told set up the computer and he said it would be taken care of by the time I get back.
I'm tired and going to bed now and not setting the alarm. It's only 8:20 PM Colorado time, but I'm exhausted and need to rejuvenate.

We are also supposed to be getting hit w/snow on Sun. depending on which forecaster you hear it is anywhere from 1" to 7". I went over all my prep/cook for holiday recipes (stndard list, written file, computer file) and have 5 I plan on doing for sure, 1 I need 1 ingredient for but would like to make and 1 non-hiliday recipe that is new & a want to try for my Sun cooking extravaganza. I could stand to add cleaning the interior of my fridge to my need to do chores BUT w/theupcoming holiday & grocery shopping on Fri it just ain’t going to happenthis week. Today is my MUST finish mycleaning chores day so I can prep, cook for the holiday on Sun while I watchthe political talk shows. IF I have nothing, I know I can find stuff/junk that should be trashed.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p>

This coming week is spring break and DD will be home later today for the week. I also took the week off from work. We are going to hit the wedding preparations hard this week. Well except for Wed. and Thurs which we will spend over at the coast.

Woke up all refreshed and rejuvenated. Also to over 6 inches of snow and it's still snowing.
I am not watching the games I saw on tv. I do wish I had brought boots. Instead I will be cleaning my car in snow over my shoes. Darn. Poor planning.
Can't wait to get to see my team play again in person. Go Buffs!
DS said forecast back home is all over the place also.

My team embarrassed themselves today. Probably the poorest game they have played all season, although one freshman had an outstanding game. The senior leader never got comfortable and maybe shot 10% from the floor. ETA she shot 2 for 16 so she didn't even shoot 10%. She got frustrated like she did when she was younger so coach took her out. It didn't help.
I plan to start home on Monday if the weather forecast for Nebraska and Iowa doesn't change for Monday and Tuesday.

A friend gave me the exact same movie for my birthday that my wonderful DH gave me, so she handed me over the receipt so I could get something else at Walmart. So, this morning I exchanged that movie for some more flowers to plant out front (pineapple sage for the hummingbirds and butterflies!) and my wonderful DH was nice enough to plant them for me! YAY! I like pretty flowers that double as food for the birds and butterflies. YAY! I also spent some time filling bird feeders and washing out the bird bath today ... it was lovely and 80. Tomorrow's forecast is 80 and partly cloudy.
I think I want to plant some giant sunflowers this year, so I will have to look around for some seeds.

I had planned on cutting the ferns back today. It is easier to do before all the new growth starts coming out. Instead I ended up going with the kids to help them register for their wedding. It was fun and my DD will forever be given a bad time for somehow registering for 72 soap dispensers. Tomorrow we are going to go shoe shopping. We need to find the shoes that DD is going to wear with her wedding dress so that we can get the dress to the alterations lady. It needs to be shortened and it will take quite a while because the lady has to pick all the applique off the bottom of the dress, shorten it a few inches and then sew all the applique back on. It will be worth every dime that I pay her to not have to do that job myself.

Sharon I am SOOOO glad to be over the prepping for a wedding life stage. Admit, DDs & their SOs did 99% but still........
YIPEE!!! Snow totally missed metro Chicago at least center city & up north. Don't need to clean off walks, car or think about moving car.
Been on a cooking marathon Sun & this early am. Just about done. My holiday starts at sundown tonight and its 8 days of cooking from scratch. did 2 new (to me) recipes this year + some stuff I traditionally make. NOTE: I usually give up along about day 5 or 6 BUT have meal planned for all 8 days. There are so many things we either cannot eat or just traditionally do not eat.
Weather this morning has promised more seasonal temps toward the end of the week. i'll believe it when I see (feel?) it. That has happend the last couple weeks and the higher temps get put off and lowered as days progress.

MOTHER: It sounds like there's an animal that's grabbing pup's attention. Do you see any foot prints out there when you wake up in the morning?
Mass was long yesterday, but nice. We have gone to 2 churches in the area to see which one we like best. One has a priest that is so sweet, but I can't understand what he says during his speech time. This one I understood, but the congregation is huge.
I'm thinking the one with the sweet priest for a number of reasons. After all I know the mass, so the important part is covered. If I could understand all those foreign doctors I worked with for 40 years, then I can train myself to understand him too.
MOLLY: I have some sun flower seeds that you sent me in 2011. I could send some back to you if you want to try them.

We got snow! Of course, DH already put the snow shovel back in the basement. I suppose I should put warm clothes on and go out and shovel the sidewalk but it's still snowing. I should wait until it stops snowing, right? Or, maybe it will warm up and melt . . .
I never sleep well when DH is not home. I think I'll sleep a little more first and see if there's any snow left.

SHARON: 72 soap dispensers, huh? The shoes that I wore with my wedding dress were fun and practical: highly decorated Keds, actually (lots of beads, sequins and glitter!) I wore them on my honeymoon, too (and probably left a sparkly trail in my wake!) HOLLY: All of that pre-holiday cooking sounds wonderful. If you ever have extras, send them my way! LYNN: Years ago at one of our parishes, the priest (a really nice one from Sri Lanka) was very hard to understand for the homily, despite the fact he wrote it out and carefully read it. Finally, someone convinced him to print it up every Sunday and add it to the missal and people could follow along, if desired. It really was a win-win situation for everyone since his homilies were actually very well done, just hard to understand. (And you were supposed to plant those sunflower seeds!!!!) PEACE ~ I suspect that your act of putting the snow showel away is what caused it to snow, right? I know that my willingness to wash my car seems to trigger rain here, does that work everywhere? (grin) KIMBER ~ hope you get some grass before June! * * * I had a lovely time online ordering some seeds to plant sunflowers, peppers, yellow pear tomatoes and some cosmos. My theory is that if I plant enought things, surely something will grow, right? Some years I have a fair amount of luck, other years the combination of heat, birds and gardners proves too much for my planting efforts and I don't have much success. Clearly, I am feeling optimistic this year. My wonderful DH still doesn't have exact/official dates about his work trip to Peru (much less plane or hotel reservations), but we're still working on the premise that he will leave around Monday April 15. He is still supposed to spend a few days at meetings/training at Travis AFB (northern california), but I "think" that is the week before. In the meantime, they may start flying missions here as early as next week. So, suffice it to say that I have absolutely no idea what his work schedule will be like for the next month and a half, but I probably shouldn't expect him around very much, methinks. The pool guy has put in a permit request to drain our in-ground swimming pool and refill it. The water in the pool gets very hard to keep balanced/clean (PH-wise, more than anything else) after 5 years, and we've had this water in it since 2007 when we had the pool retextured/Pebble-teched. The City charges us to drain our pool, and with metered water, we get charged to fill it up, too. Anyway, the hope is that we can start draining it Tuesday or Wednesday this week ... which means I will plan to get out a big push broom and work on cleaning the gutters in front of our house when there's nice chlorinated water flowing ... I just hate to see that water completely go to waste, ya know? Somewhat cloudy here, but still forecast for 80 today and 77 tomorrow.

We had a fairly successful shopping trip today. It was not at all frugal but some days are just like that. I found a good pair of shoes to wear to work. My feet are small and very wide so when I find a pair of shoes that I can actually cram my feet into I buy them and don't really look at the price tag. They also had a nice pair of black pumps that I really liked but they didn't carry them small enough for me. We found some wedding shoes for DD. They are a compromise but they will do. Her feet are also small and wide and her groom isn't that much taller than she is so she couldn't have a very high heel. I found a mother of the bride dress that I like and it fits. I don't think that DD likes it very well but tough. I like it and people aren't going to be looking at me anyway. We looked for flower girl dresses today and there were very few dresses that I would even consider appropriate for a 6 year old girl and they were outrageously expensive. I used to make dresses all the time when DD was that age so I think I will break out the sewing machine and make a couple more dresses.

Sharon For FG dresses you might want to hit the after Easter and/or communion sales at dept stores and specialty childrens stores. That is what we did for my DD1 when my BIL married-waaay back when (30+ years). Actually think I found it a Penny's on clearance.
Molly I would be glad to share but...........
My right shoulder joint aches from patting myself on the back. ALL cleaning is DONE. All cooking is DONE. Just need to clean up the kitchen counters & dishes a bit-15-30 minutes. Even have tried my new recipes this am. LOIVE the savory one. Only adjustment I 'might' make is to add sliced sauted mushrooms. The sweet one is not rich enough (maybe becaude its not chocolate?). Suspect it might meed some butter.
Only fly in my ointment is my nail appt got cancelled. Tech's kid is sick so could not go to daycare. I have even started my list of monthly & spring cleaning chores for the next ccouple of weeks (months?). Up to 17 items.
Having dinner at DD1's tonight. There is a very good market just west of her I ONLY get to when I am near her since it is 17 mi each way from me. I checked their ad online & NOTHING I want/need. Oh well, time & a few miles saved.

MOLLY: I did plant the seeds. I have some left over!! Yesterday was a do close to nothing day. All my work was done! The painters are here today to do touch ups. He painted over the plaster repairs from last week and is touching up some areas where the building settled. Not much going on in my part of the world today. Stay safe.

Good evening all! When I logged on this evening, I had a message, but for the life of me, couldn't find a new one. Anyone else have that problem? Now I'm curious what it was for I made some Muddy Buddies for DD, and sent her a box of goodies for Easter. I also had a key chain made for her with a picture of the three of us on Family day before she shipped out. I am having the key chain sent directly to her, but not sure when she will get it. The priority mail box cost $17 . Are you kidding me? It's been a boring week at work, which is what I prefer. Working on training, IDP, interim assessments, etc. Not much fun, but we have to do them. Theo, sorry to hear your girls didn't do well and you are not feeling well. Get well soon. And, there's always next year. I was surprised to hear men's bball Georgetown was knocked out by a Cinderella team. Oh well. It happens. I'm not a basketball fan because I broke my arm a second time by people playing basketball in gym class when I was in 8th grade. Broke both bones all the way, and had to have metal plates put on both bones. Memories.... Sharon, glad to hear the wedding plans are moving forward. Since DD says she's never getting married, I figure I'll miss out on all that fun. But will also miss out on all that money spending . I torture myself watching Say Yes to the Dress, and Something Borrowed or Something New on TLC. I love weddings . Molly, in this area you can pay a company to bring water to you to fill your pool. Do you all have anything like that? We never had to do that with our old pool, because it wasn't too big and we had a well. We just filled it up very slowly. DS will be home sometime Friday evening for Easter weekend. He has to be back at school on Monday night. Hard to believe he'll only have about 5 more weeks and his Junior year will be over. It goes by so fast.

Dutt, after taking some OTC meds and sleeping, I'm feeling much better this evening. Will definitely be heading home tomorrow. If I get too exhausted at work on Thursday, I can go back on Friday, as the Good Friday bulletin just needs 25 more copies made.
Pastor was sick last week. He totally changed the service I'm told and had his wife read a narrative and the congregation responded. Very little music. Told DS that he couldn't prepare a sermon or give one. Because of that he just sent a small piece for the newsletter. He usually sends the bulk of the newsletter. He did send another piece today, so he must be feeling better.
Now I have to hope he remembers to buy the stamps to mail the newsletter. He forgot last month and I had to buy one sheet. I think there is one stamp left. I don't like waiting for reimbursement because the treasurer is kind of slow on that during tax season. Pastor was to have stamps at church today, but meeting location got changed. Said they will be there by noon tomorrow.
I hope to leave here by 8 AM, which gets me to Omaha around 9. Rush hour should be over and I should be home by 4 PM. I need to stop at the grocery store if I expect to eat tomorrow evening.

This basketball program has improved so much in the last three seasons. In 2005, our very successful coach of 22 years retired. Her replacement took the program downhill, deep in to the trenches of mediocrity and lower. She could recruit but not coach. Long time fans were leaving in droves. Finally, the school fired her and hired an alum of the program. She was a young coach with no Division I head coaching experience. She had a very promising basketball career until ankle and knee injuries cost her any hopes of playing professional ball. She soaked up everything she could about coaching while she rehabbed and had to sit out a year.
I admit I thought she was too inexperienced to be our coach, but we had no money. I now have foot in mouth disease because it was the smartest higher Colorado could have made. She said this is her dream job. She took this program from the bottom team in the conference to the NCAA tournament in 3 seasons. She took players she had not recruited and who had not been asked to play defense or work hard at practice and had to convince them that her way would work. One player, in particular, fought the change. At her senior night, she said it was the best thing to happen to her because now she has the work ethic to allow her to play in Europe and she wouldn't have had the opportunity to do that. She cried as she thanked the coaches for putting up with her being so hard headed.
We will be back in the Dance, probably next year. It sounds as if CU is putting in bids to host in 2014 and 2015. If we are playing, I will drive back and hope I don't get in to a snowstorm.
The experience was good for our underclassmen. We only lose this senior who played significant minutes. We will be fine as a team next season. I will once again buy a season ticket and got out for the Thanksgiving tourney and hopefully another weekend.
Go Buffs!

The only way I know of to refill our pool is to use municipal water. Oh well. It's only once every 3-5 years, right? Remind me of this as I freak out over my next water bill, LOL! The pool was done being emptied by about 2pm, and now we're refilling it.
There's a moth in our bedroom and the cats are having a field day. (I am ignoring the crashing sounds!)

I'm home. Lucy is crashing all over me! She loves me!
I printed my labels for the newsletter mailing tomorrow and I'm going to bed early.

Apparently my ISP had ‘issues’ w/their server this am. I could NOT access the internet for 2 hours. I had called tech services after about 45 minof trying to connect, rebooting, trying to connect…..but they were too busy andhung up on me (NOT happy). Went &had another cup of coffee, loaded & started the dishwasher. For some strange reason I tried again andhere I am. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Went to J4u to ‘try’ to load deals and the entire site crashed. Went back 30 min later-still down. And again/still an hour later. At this point I am unsure if it is myISP/computer since everything is VERY slow or just a bunch of site issues.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I wonder if this is all in response to my new, MUCH cheaperpricing. I did ask and there was NOTsupposed to be any change in speed or amount of time I was ‘allowed’ to beonline but...........<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I need to run a couple local errands today-library calledthat my reserve is in, need a couple things at the close market & Aldi andhave to get an Rx from CVS. I also needto either trim my hair myself or get it cut. Since I do not have a coupon I am leaning to self trim.<o:p></o:p>

MARV: I read an article yesterday about hackers who slowed down the entire internet. (or close to it) It was happening yesterday. From what I could get, shopping sites were crashed.
Alll 18 of my tomato plants sprouted. Today I'm transplanting most of them to one plant to a pot. I'll leave them in the garage until the weather gets warmer.
My daughters are planning and cooking for Easter. They asked that I bring jello because neither of them have luck with making it. Hey I can do that!
I watched Hoarders, Buried alive last night. So at 9 PM, I'm going through the pantry and pitching things and sealing others. The house had a ton of roaches in it. It freaked me out. Needless to say, I had a difficult time sleeping after they showed a copperhead that was mummified they found in her bedroom.
The next show had a lady that didn't make it and lost her apartment and everything in it. Sad, so sad. I still don't get it, but I'm trying to understand. It seems something traumatic happens and hoarding is one way of hiding from it.
