i have never...

fixed myself sloppy joes for supper.

i guess what they say is true... there is a first time for everything! i'm hungry and want/need a quick meal!

its even ground beef sloppy joes- family, aren't you proud of me?

(i rarely buy or eat ground beef at home- but it was marked way down at kroger!)

and i got my federal tax return today and celebrated with a new pair of running shoes! you can see them here ! (actually thats the only way i could go buy them right now- and the rest of the $$ goes straight into savings!)

now for those sloppy joes!

Girl Meets God: A Memoir
By Lauren F. Winner

friday night... just got paid

and i just hosed down the inside of my oven with lemony fresh "fume free" oven cleaner...

gonna fix some hot chocolate, read a while, and get to bed early so i can get up early in the morning and go yard-saling in the ritzy neighborhoods... i'm hoping i find some side tables for the living room and some uniquely shaped (ie round or oval or intricately carved) picture frames for a home decor project i am working on.

Hello Starling
By Josh Ritter
see related

hello spring!

i'm so glad you have finally graced us with your presence in all your glory! i walked a long circuitous route around my neighborhood marveling at all the azaleas, rhododendrons, and dogwoods in full bloom.
the sun finally came out for a bit today after a week of being drowned by clouds and misty moisty wet sloppy greyness!

i think this song- winters gone- by josh ritter captures how glad i feel that winter is, in fact, gone! it took a little longer to get here, but its finally here, and i, for one, am very glad!

here are some of the words i just love from this song!

"... hello blackbird!
hello starling!
winter’s over,
be my darling!
a long time coming
but now the snow is gone..."
