The good things are:

1) I got a surprise check for $125 today!!!!
Free money! Could it get any better than that?
The story is, my dear friend Mar came down to visit me oh, about NINE YEARS AGO!
I had paid for her return plane ticket and she said she'd pay me back.
Every year since, she'll bring it up that she didn't forget and she was still going to pay me back someday. That money had loooong been spent and I never cared if she paid me back anyway.
Nine years. And I get a check in the mail.
You kill me Mar. And I LOVE YOU!!!!

2) The Lummins are well again.

3) I saved $13 with coupons at Target today!!
I think I came in my panties. I had a Targasm.


The bad things are:

1) Everything in our fridge is now frozen. ??why??
Have to microwave milk before I can pour in cereal.
Cooked green beans do not freeze well.

2) My anxiety over the inevitable.
I am dreading finding the first scorpion of the season.
Bug Season has begun and I've already found numerous ants, spiders, and beetles. It know it's just a matter of time now. And after I find the first one I know they'll be more.
Have I mentioned before that I have serious scorpion anxiety?



A reminder to all:
MOTHER' S DAY IS MAY 14

here's a list hint of things I'd like this dwayne year.
Since your delivery didn't go so well last Mother's Day. I didn't even get a card. Or a caring treasure from the kids. No day off or pedicure at a spa.
I got taken to the mall, to the Apple Store more specifically and was told I could pick out an ipod.
Hold on, don't get me wrong here. I LOVE my ipod and was thrilled with the gift!
It was the lack of appreciation and sincerity for being a mother.

So this year, I'll tell you what I want.
I want you, all of you, to take the time to thank and appreciate your mothers. All the mothers.

And I'd also like some bath scrubby gloves, and a little thingy to go over the bathtub where I can put all my bath necessities (book, candle, glass of wine, soap, and hopefully new bath scrubby gloves).
I'd be most happy with anything from your heart, a well thought out expression of gratitude.
