Hello? Is Anyone Here?

It's been forever and a day since I posted anything. Let's see what's been going on.

Maggie wore her swashbuckler outfit to a Doctor appt. with me. They loved it, as did she.

We hit the circus, which was pretty cool, if not a bit weird.
I had cookie pick-up like last year. This year was much better, as I was in charge of only half as many troops. I didn't get many pictures, but this one is priceless. Brad shaking his thing with the last few cases left.


I smell of hint of mint from mass thin mint consumption.
Valentine's Day has come and gone. Remember how awesome (yes, it was awesome) it was to give and get those little valentines? You searched for hidden meaning in the 'special' ones - you know you did. Maggie hasn't quite hit that age, but she does love checking out her loot.

Georgia and friends were pushing cookies at Kroger. They really enjoyed these booth sales, and people were quite friendly. No passing counterfeit money or stealing change boxes here! (That's happened elsewhere)

And then the bottom dropped out. I got the stomach bug, Georgia got strep and Maggie currently has the flu.
This brings me to today. Maggie's class Easter party is here on April 3rd. The countdown to clean house and presentable yard has begun. It will take from now until then to make this happen. If you've seen my house and/or my yard, you know what I'm saying.
Maggie's feeling a bit better, so we hung out outside today. While out there, I went ahead and pulled some weeds - about 9,736 of them - or around 30% of those present.
Brad called and asked what I was doing. When I said "pulling weeds" he put on a coat - Hell had frozen over. I documented the day with some photos.


The various weed piles around the house will likely sit until April 2nd-ish. I'm not much on clean-up. Look how much is left! Wonder if I can pay someone to finish??

I try to tell myself it's good excercise and cost effective for me to do it. I just don't like all those little bugs, worms, snails, etc. to touch me. Gross. I can suck it up I guess - at least until April 3rd!
