I can't wait!!!!!!!!  i would love to have great big kitty cats...  Lions and Tigers and bears... (you just said, "oh my"!  Bahahahahaha)

we had an amazing warm day yesterday... up to 50*.   I didn't even open a window, or go outside, or think about going outside.  Just fought too much pain to think of anything else.  

But I know there will be other days that it will be nice outside. maybe one of those days I can get out and enjoy some fresh air.  EO came home and asked if I got out, when I said no, he then knew just how sick i was all day.

The snow really dropped, you can almost see the second wrung on the fence.  SO AWESOME!  However, it does make for some really muddy roads.  It is so easy to understand, being the ground hasn't even thawed yet.  EO says he is concerned there will be a lot of flooding this spring.  But at least the pond will be really high this year.

Steph got home at 6pm last night... she only had to work one hour overtime.  She is making progress.  maybe one day she will get to leave when she is suppose to (which is 4pm).  

I did get to start organizing Lauren's going away luncheon.  So EO went to see if anyone was signed up to feed the speaker on the 30th and guess what?  there was no "30th" on the sign up sheet.  On the talk sheet, it showed Bro Quimby is giving the talk... but to sign up, the "30th" was on the current one or the upcoming list.  So EO wrote our name down and we will just invite them to come for lunch with the cong.  I forgot to ask him if there were any brothers who were going to be giving talks out.  But maybe he can check tomorrow.

Lauren is busy sorting today, since it is her day off from working with mom and Walmart.  It is actually her day to work for me, but I am not going to have her do a lot of stuff.  I know her days home, she has to be either doing school work or packing.  But I think she already got all her school work done for the week. at least I think so anyways.

i woke up with a massive sinus headache this morning.  so my first thought was, "this is going to be a tough day", then I prayed for help to be able to handle our morning worship.  Without another thought, I was up and getting my day started.
but now that all of that is accomplished, i just want to get back to bed.  

My arm/wrist still isn't better. It is still somewhat swollen.  I won't feel pain for a day, then I unwrap it and after an hour, it hurts even more and gets tight feeling in my wrist.  So it just must be injured more than normal.  Most of the time when I have wrist problems, I just wrap it for one or two weeks and that is all I need.  I know it hasn't been two weeks yet, but what I have noticed is by this point, normally it doesn't hurt this much.  

It is sort of what I felt when I felt that ripping down my right arm and had to have it in a sling for a few weeks, followed by a few months of using my wrist brace.  Well, I didn't feel a "rip" with my left wrist this time, but it snapped three times real hard. I don't think I need a doctor at this point... I will just treat it myself and see how it goes.  if there were any discoloration or extreme swelling, then I would be concerned and at the doc's.  

OK so we are no passing the word in the cong about the luncheon for the 30th.  We have a few people who don't have email, that we will make sure to let them know tonight.  This is just for the cong.  the only one from outside the is the speaker.  We are going to have to figure out what we are going to have.  Since EO and Lauren are both home, I plan to talk to them about it today and see what we can come up with. Although they will have a nice apartment to move into, the kitchen is kind of small.  They really hope a 2 bedroom opens up quick at the Town Houses.  Those apartments even have full basements.  So plenty of room.  But they have a decent size waiting list.  But what happens with waiting lists is people often go else where, and they don't wait around to see if one opens up.  For the Villa apartments, it is a month to month rental, with no "long term" contracts.  So they will be able to pounce on the Town House.  

Well, I be jiggered!  I see ground.  Granted it is near the driveway, but the snow banks really melted back.  It is so exciting!

OK, I am totally in love with this idea.  How many times we have wanted to have coat hook racks up but to be able to line up the rack with the studs NEVER worked.  Well, this baby can reach several studs so it will be able to hold a lot of weight!  and using the widow panes as picture frames...
