Well, it snowed. It was awesome. 8 1/2 inches. 5th biggest snow on record for Cola town.
Maren could care less about it. We couldn't get her to smile for a snow picture for anything. What a little stinker! The Howards spent the night at the Burdens Friday night for a Sat. am snow delight! The kids had snowball fights with el, Jeff & dad. Mom, Mare & I prettymuch stayed indoors. I like to look. Cold wetness is really not my thing for more than about 10 minutes at a time.
Sat. afternoon O'Hara and I went to the Woodlands in Summerville. It was so nice. We had a delicious meal, a fireplace in our bedroom and a HUGE whirlpool tub. GREAT valentine's day gift, O'Hara! We will definitley be going there again.
The only downer about the trip was that I woke up in the middle of the night with a throw-up bug. UUUGGGHHH. So, needless to say it wasn't quite as romantic as Valentine's day could be.
Maren did well, once again, spending the night with her Nana. Man, I wish she would sleep that well at home!
I have been working on a few projects the past few weeks:
1. I got a sewing machine and have been learing a few things. I made Maren a sundress. I made a pillow for the nursey. I'm working on a couple of other things, too.
2. I am working on my bedroom...re-arranging, taking down art, putting up art, new lampshades, etc.
3. This darn computer!!!! I have been having a hard time understanding and working with my newly updated old desktop. Since the "big switch" from my laptop back to the desktop, I have struggled getting old files (photo, music, etc.) from the laptop to the desktop with what seems to be a nearly dud external hard drive. Boo. Anyway, good times in computer world. It has taken a LOT of time and MUCH patience on my part. Pat on back.
4. My health/diet. Another difficulty. O'Hara and I have made a bet called the "20 lb. showdown" where the winner gets $500 and a weekend away!! If O'Hara beats me I will just die.(Mainly because he gets to have 500 and weekends away anytime!!) So far, I am winning by 2 lbs. The bet ends May 28th. Good luck me! (Of course I want him to succeed, that will also be a reward for me!)
Boo bear is standing in place and taking steps to us, to a toy, to a piece of furniture. My bet is that by next week we'll have a wobbly walker. Just a mintue ago she just started walking across the room to O'Hara. I'm afraid!
