Randomness...

 I have a lot to say, but not enough of any one thing to form a complete blog, so here's some of my thoughts...
  • February is now behind us.  It's nice to welcome the month of March.  Somehow I feel like we've turned a corner and will soon be slamming the door in the face of winter.
  • On the topic of semi-spring weather, the animals have emerged from their Winter slumber.  How do I know?  Well, my roadkill count this morning was 2 skunks, 2 raccoons and 4 rabbits.  Yep, Spring is in the air.
  • My son went for his G-2 road test today and he passed!  Now, he is free to drive without adult supervision.  I'm not sure how my husband is coping with that thought since he'll be driving J's truck.  Thank goodness the boy doesn't know how to drive a standard or I might be the one concerned.
  • I finished preparing my taxes yesterday.  I'm happy to be getting a minimal return, but considering the amount of income tax I've paid to the government, I believe I should be entitled to a bigger one.  Seems only fair to me.
  • I like sports, but am glad that the Olympics are finally over.  I need something more mind-numbing to keep me entertained and the Olympics just weren't cutting it.
  • My mother-in-law baked 11 apple pies yesterday.  When I asked her what possessed her to do such a thing, her response was "I had some extra baking supplies that I didn't want to go to waste."  WTH?  I've had the same bag of flour in my house since 2000 and I'm not concerned about it going bad.  I just don't understand some people...

I'm a soooooo ready for winter to come to an end. If I never saw another flake of snow in the rest of my life, I'd be a happy woman.

Taxes!!! I need to file mine. Thanks for the reminder :)

Its kind of crazy that I have missed winter all together this year, especially since it was such a crazy one where I am stationed in VA. The roadkill count is a great way to tell that spring is coming, your so funny.

Ive never made 1 apple pie... N I dont think I will make 11 apple pies in my whole life span...

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
