Oh, MAN! I can't wait to see this one! New Moon was MUCH better than Twilight was - I believe that was due to the change of directors. So, as with the books, each movie seems to get better and better. Looking forward to June 30th. ;)

It's Friday!... Good Friday.

I'm so looking forward to the holiday weekend! Two days ago, I spent all day thinking it was Thursday. Yesterday I spent all day thinking it was Friday. Now it finally is Friday. The Odyssey is gone. Monday the Civic will be cleaned and detailed (so it doesn't stink anymore... .EW LOL!). But between now and then, there are so many moments to experience.
This morning will be like any other normal weekday morning. We'll get ready to go to work and school. We'll drop Tyler off at school. But, this day, Donald will come to work with me as he awaits the arrival of Grandma & Papa. When they arrive, they'll take him and his packed suitcase and head to Washington, DC. Donald will have the opportunity to see the sights and enjoy a week of time with extended family. He's been looking forward to this day for a long time. And as it has approached, he has gotten more and more anxious for the day to come. I wish for him happy times and interesting discoveries in a town filled with history and hope.
In the meantime, I'll miss his face. I'll miss his personality. One whole dimension of our home will be missing this week. He'll celebrate Easter with Grandma & Papa while we celebrate at home and at church. It will be strange to not have him here. But, it'll be good for him, too. He'll enjoy touring the Capitol Building and exploring the Smithsonian. He'll see the cherry blossoms in full bloom and have a ride in a duck-boat. :) I hope he has tons of things to tell me about when he returns, my sweet boy. I will miss my sweet boy. <3

Happy April Fool's Day!

*Sigh*... tomorrow's the day.
After 7 years of driving a Honda Odyssey - first a 2003 which we drove for 4 years and then a 2007 we leased for 3 years - our time is up. I'll be back in my little '98 Honda Civic. I'm a little apprehensive about going from a (fairly) large vehicle back to an ultra-compact vehicle. Okay, so it isn't ULTRA compact. But, it certainly feels small compared to the Odyssey. I drove the Civic from 2000 - 2003 when we leased the first Odyssey. So, it isn't like I've never driven it before. Actually, I spent a lot more time in it than I really wanted to because I worked about 20 miles from home; which, in Jersey terms means about 90 minutes of stressful, jam-packed driving. BLECH. It was awful. ...Anyhoo... Me & the Civic will be back together again beginning tomorrow. Donnie has been driving it all these 7 years. I'm sure he won't miss that tiny little car. He'll be driving a 2-dr Jeep Cherokee that has yet to be registered. ...At least it's been insured. Next step is the registration.
So... back in the Civic I go for a while. Somewhere down the road we'll investigate our new car options. But, for now, it's bill-paying time and time to beef up the credit rating in the process. :) Wish me luck. I hope my little Civic lasts that long. ;)

New Virus Warning!
The Center for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically.
This virus is called Weekly Overload Recreational Killer ( WORK ).
If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT!
This virus will wipe out your private life entirely.
If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises.
Take two good friends to the nearest liquor store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER).
Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.
You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends.
If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is, sadly, controlling your life.
Get help immediately.

Monday, Monday (da, da... da, da-da da-da)...
I'm really not liking Mondays today. ...Okay, I really don't like Mondays MOST weeks. LOL! But, today I'm disliking them more than usual. It's raining - dark and dank - in northern NJ today. Typical late March day, really. But, the weather is adding to my angst. I'd much prefer being home in bed or home on the couch reading a good book and drinking coffee (*or tea maybe) than being here, at work. BLECH. Plus, it's the last week of the month. And in bookkeeper's terms that means extra work.
So... I'm posting this picture because it is cheering me up on this dreary Monday. Blue sky, wispy clouds, daisies and black-eyed susans - all remind me of spring and/or summer. Ahhhh... now THAT'S more like it! :)
