Just Another Random Sunday

Today is Sunday, April 3rd, and all I have to say is: Where the #*@! is Spring?!?!?!!?!?

Seriously, I am SO over this winter thing.  I'm really ready for some green and flowers.  Plus, our house is freezing cold 99% of the time (the furnace was the overall victorious one in its battle with Steve).  I'm not a huge fan of hot summers, but I'm actually looking forward to some warmer weather.  It will allow me to actually move around in my house without wearing ski pants and gloves.

With the colder weather, it's been feeling like a lot of days are in slow motion, and today was no exception.  With Steve as my personal motivation coach, I've been getting off my butt and doing some much needed work around the house.  Here is a lovely picture show of what I did today (aren't you thrilled!?!).

MORNING: Awoke at 7:30 this morning (after hearing my alarm go off at 7), and dozed on and off until about 8.  Dragged myself out of bed, got dressed, and went downstairs to eat a big bowl of Raisin Bran (Post is my brand!).



I like my cereal to sit in the milk for at least 20 minutes so it is good and soggy.  Yes, I know, I'm weird.


Sat, digested, and watched this for awhile.

It's an addiction, I tell you!

Talked to Steve's mom about starting work at her pet resort this coming Tuesday.  Should be interesting because I will be tagging along with her to the animal shelter to pick up some dogs and cats to try to adopt out (I hope I don't cry there!).

Afternoon: Went outside and took a picture of our "front porch" to show you all.

Ready to be framed!

Decided to once again attack the brush piles that line the side of our driveway.

I was dragging a lot of branches to the burn pile, going back and forth to get more and more. 

Burn pile

Steve jumped in and started to help... with his new lawnmower!

Lookit!  He is SO happy!

Camper was obsessively trying to dig an animal out of its hole.

"What?"

Noodle (aka Pilot) just sat and watched him.

"What?"

Our neighbor, and his dog who looks like a fatter version of Camper, were outside for a bit.  Pilot and the dog stared at each other for a while.

"Once again...what?"

Close up of neighbor dog... just like Camper but with 20 extra pounds!

Meanwhile, Steve and I worked at those brush piles until we got most of them cleaned up.

Much better!  Look at all of those railroad beams.  I hate those!

Here is the burn pile after we were done cleaning up the brush piles.

That will be a hell of a fire. 

So, here I am now, inside (and cold), blogging away.  And that will pretty much be the extent of my Sunday.  Needless to say, I cannot wait for the Summer so I can comfortably decorate my home or go swimming and have more luxurious pictures to share with all of you!  Until then, you'll be viewing our burn and brush piles.  Woo hoo.

Summer, anyone?

Peacing out,
Nikki
