Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lent season. Those of us who are Catholic are supposed to give up something from now until Easter. I gave up saying bad words. Maddy gave up saying shut up and other rude phrases. The deal is for every violation we put a quarter in the jar. We'll count the money at Easter and probably go to Hawaii. You will notice I already have a quarter in my jar - I said damn at dinner. Although in my defense, she was being a brat and made me say it. I think she should pay the quarter.*********
Just a suggestion - if you are going to drive a muscle car with V8 plastered all over it, please do something other than 58 in the fast lane. If you don't MOVE, I will wind up putting $20 in my violation jar. mmmmkay?

Valentine's Day is a week from tomorrow. A faithful reader asked if Maddy and I had plans. Maddy has gymnastics and I have an appointment for a haircut. We're so glamorous.

Last week's freaky weather has jump started my spring fever. I'm planning my flower beds, and I'm even shopping for patio furniture, since the XHB has the original set. I even want to MOW. I've got it bad.

Thanks to all of you who stopped by to say Hey. I'm doing good, I appreciate you checking on me. It means a lot.
You're hilarious! I'm going to steal your idea and start a swear jar, but make James pay every time he makes me cuss.
ReplyDeleteI do pretty good about not cussing as long as the kids are around and I'm NOT drinking. If they aren't and I AM....OH BOY! That jar would be filled real quick.
ReplyDeleteIf I knew that cursing 1,000 times would win me a trip to Hawaii I'd do it too :)
ReplyDeleteHey! Just found your blog through Andrea and Lorraine.
ReplyDeleteFor Valentine's Day, I have a date with a much younger boy. My 9 month old kuvasz puppy, Biggie, is getting neutered.
Hmm. What does that say about my life with my husband?
Hey, my daughter has gymnastics on Thursday nights too - HA! In addition, the oldest has a girl scout meeting, and it's 1st grade parents night to work at the school concession stand.
ReplyDeleteHot and steamy, eh?
I came over here from Fretting the Small Stuff, and I just wanted to "say hey". I couldn't read too much -- I lost a son, and I know how awful it is. Our circumstances differ, but the loss of a child is a loss.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Lent! I gave up cursing one year, and I did terrible behind the wheel. I should have given myself a "fine". I would have raked it in...
ciao,
