AMJ Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Was your grandfather Catholic? Protestants wore orange. Catholic and half-Irish! Our small town had a big parade every St. Paddie's Day, and Grandpa was ALWAYS in it. Most of the town was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Yes, I have nuked the coffee. Problem was I was working at the computer desk in the other room, wrapped up in a blanket, and didn't wanna. And I knew I'd have to see the dishes if I went in there. I didn't wanna be reminded. And it's still snowing, So stop trying to make me feel better. I don't wanna. I'd rather complain. :D I'm a complainer. Shall I tell you about the bright, clear blue sky here? And the 30- to 40 degree rise in temp from this morning? That way you can daydream about being here, or complain about this part of the weather system not reaching you, whichever you are more inclined to do.

Junie Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The brain is not connected to anything this morning. I just tried to brush my teeth WHILE I was still eating breakfast. I do a lot of multitasking but that's taking it too far! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This made me smile. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The boys have finished their schoolwork for the day. I ought to write. I probably will.

lanalouwho Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 It's 50 and sunny. A little bit chilly but the boys have been sent to the trampoline so I can clean this house.

Very light breeze, and the recent rains seemed to have washed the pollen down enough it's not too bad today (though I'm sure that will change). I have opened up the windows to air out the house, but only in the downstairs. We get the benefit of some fresher air inside, but reduce the amount of pollen getting into the bedrooms upstairs. I hope for some really nice days AFTER allergy season is over for more house-airing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanalouwho Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) Overachiever!😜It's not really as impressive as it sounds. My closet was sort of the dumping ground for stuff we didn't know what to do with when we moved in. So I just donated all the stuff that we haven't found a need for in the almost 2 years we've lived here. And now my closet only has clothes in it. ETA: That's also where the gun safe is.

Susan in TN Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Once in a while the sky will spit out a few angry snow pellets at us. Otherwise it's just COLD. Ds21 was in the area and stopped by for a little while. We fed him pie and sent him home with a can of caramel cashews and some homemade applesauce (for his roommate actually, who apparently won't eat store-bought anymore ðŸ˜). Dd8 is in her viola lesson and the rest of us are in the hall listening to students audition for "session". Whatever that is. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
