My son decided that he wanted to try Crawfish. Ew, these are disgusting little creatures! They still have their eyeballs, pinchers and antenna – totally grows. But he cooked them himself and ate them up. I had a bite but was quickly looking for the exit signs. yucko! I cant even eat Lobster. My fish has to be like my meat; cleaned and pre-packed. I wonder if this is why we are a little under the weather today, yuck yuck yuck!.

Well they say that bad things always happen in Three’s. I say Four’s.
April has not been a good month for me. First I get Dizzy and cant walk straight and my stomach is a mess. Well that’ s getting better but then the Jeepster wont start; buukuu bucks later it gets out of the shop. Then my Crown falls out while eating dinner Sunday and then get this . . . today on the way to the Dentist I get a Ticket!! Improper Lane Change or something like that. OMG ! a ticket on the way to the Dentist!? I mean really, can it get any worse!? Oh and I cant forget that while heating up dinner in the MicroWave today the dang glass bowl shatters; so much for dinner!
I really hope this is the end of my troubles. I think I need over the counter sleep aids to get me thru this night for sure. ugh.

So I take a few days off work last week so that I can work around the house, and do some yardwork as well since the weather has been beautiful, but noooooo. I come down with some wierd symptoms and pretty much spent the weekend laying down.
I have been so dang dizzy! The world just spins around me and I sit still trying not to get sick to my stomach! So today I see the Nurse and she says I have something called Peripheral Vertigo. I guess its common for women my age, sheesh. Anyways, it is a strong sensation of spinning or hurtling towards the ground; worsened by rapid movement, or in my case, any stinkin’ movement at all!. She said it could last up to 6 weeks. OMG.
But I guess the good news is that I know what it is now, and I can plow right thru it (like I do everything else) and hope I dont fall over and kill myself.
The nurse did also give me a presciption that will help quence the nausea, so I guess as long as I dont spew everywhere I will be okay just spinning around all day long . . . . . total bummer.

This weekend I finally put all the stuff back in the Curio Cabinet. It shines sooo nice. This is the first time that I have cleaned the dang thing in 10 years! I really am not much of a stuff collector, but the stuff in there does have sentimental value; brings back good memories, and that is always a good thing.

ah, my Fav day of the week. Its been a long and hard week and I am glad it is just about over. This weekend will be almost just as busy as the week tho; we have SO much to do! At least I will get to sleep in. and, I hope not to overeat like last weekend. Since gaining 4 pounds last week, I am in need of the best weight loss supplements around. That or work my butt off! More than likely, I will be workin’ my butt off. It is not supposed to snow – finally – so I need to get the yard fixed up; its almost as bad the the inside of the house. ugh.

Poor Porter. Since it has been snowing so much this lovely April, the Cats have not been able to enjoy the Spring weather. The weather has really been terrible. Even if the cold weather is a wonderful sleeping aid for me (as I can only sleep at night when its cold outside) I am ready for warmer weather. I love snow and all, but not in the first week of April. ugh.

Even my Tulips are struggling. They wont seem to pop up any higher. I dont blame them, if I was a Tulip, I’d stay under the ground too. errrrr.

More snow is expected tonight. Up to a foot in the benches!

This past week was not a good one for sure. I gained Four Pounds. Sorry to say, this was not shock tho. Easter Dinner was sooo good I could not pass up on seconds, plus we hit a burger joint last week, so right there that adds up.
And I think my body is getting used to the Treadmill. I need to search the web directory to see what other kinds of stuff I can do on the Treadmill other than walking (if this is even possible!). I really like the Treadmill, so I want to keep at it. I just hope I can loose those four pounds this week and break even. sheesh, sometimes I really hate holiday foods.

Happy Easter to us all! I love Easter; its my second favorite holiday after the 4th of July! However this year, with the new Tile and all, we are kinda skipping Easter. Even tho my son is 15, we still decorate eggs and I hide them along w/a Easter Basket. No this year tho; no eggs, no basket, nada. It is kind of a bummer, but our house is still rather a mess and we just ran out of time! We still have so much to do around here.
Plus, it snowed last night. I also need to fix up the backyard; need to get out the outdoor décor clean up all those sticks you can see in the pic (I collect them for starter firewood), plant grass seed, gosh there is so much to do its no wonder we are skipping Easter this year. Oh ! We are going to my folks for dinner, so at least I get a nice dinner that I dont even have to cook – wee hee !

I really do have a terrific son, its just some days he drives me absolutely crazy ! He is on Spring Break and I swear he must have turned off all brain cells and taken some sleeping pills, ‘cuz he is one lazy, spoiled kid these days!
He just sits in his recliner, playing his DS and watching TV – at the same time bugging me for juice, food, to bring the cats over to him, to turn the heat up, anything else he can think of he wants me to do it! Well yesterday we had it out a little as I am fed up w/serving him! Mostly I dont mind getting juice for him if I am in the kitchen, but these past days he has been asking me for stuff when I am sitting on the couch. I mean really, is there a reason he cannot get up and get it himself!? errrrr. No More. I have had it.

We are almost put back together when it comes to our house. It is still a little dusty and the curio cabinet needs to get re-filled, but otherwise, I can rest assure that today at work, the house is good.

I love the new tile ! ! It is called Aspen Ash. Hard to see in the pic, but it is a greyish color and the grout we used is Terra Cotta. I think it goes great with everything. Now all we need is new granite kitchen counter tops, a new kitchen sink and kitchen faucets. But that is like WAY down the line! ha !
