20 years ago TODAY

This girl came into my world and forever changed it....

I never thought I could love another like I love this girl...

She is my world

She is my everything

She is my baby

Happy Birthday Katelyn

I love you! 

Friday Fragments

Happy Friday

Joining Mrs. 4444's @ Half Pass Kissin Time 

For 

Friday Fragments! 

This is my last selfie as a unemployed person! 

I start my new job on Monday the 24th! 

I can't wait....

I'm excited to finally not be working for a crazy person 

and actually getting paid my worth.....

On another note I'm not in love with my new hair cut

It seems to bring out my five head instead of my four head! 

Oh well C'est la vie! 

I might have mentioned a time or two how much I love my Husband

These are the beautiful roses he got me for our 26th anniversary! 

They are gorgeous and smell amazing!

Sophie is not happy about my returning to work....

On Wednesday I had to go there for several hours 

She went to daycare and than was left alone while we

went to our anniversary dinner

Needless to say Thursday Sophie started her hunger strike

 in protest of the day before events

At least that is what I'm gathering...

She knows something is up

Today she is eating but hasn't left my side!!

Happy Friday!!

Happy Spring

So word on the street is that TODAY

is the first day of Spring.......

My Chalk board is ready for the occasion....

(thanks artist Katelyn)

I'm ready for the new season......

BUT 

Mother Nature missed the memo...

It's currently snowing 

and I'm done....

I'm throwing in the towel.....

I know we are not alone....

BUT 

seriously

enough is enough !

Happy Spring!!

Wednesday Hodgepodge

Joining Joyce at From this side of the Pond today 

Happy Wednesday!

1.  Thursday marks the first day of spring...to celebrate would you rather plant a garden or go for a walk in the woods? Would either of those activities be possible on Thursday where you live?

Plant a garden....possible no still have a foot of snow in yard. But I can't wait until it's warmer to see colors return....so sick of white! 

2. When did someone last spring something on you? (or when did you last spring something on someone?)

Probably when I was let go of my job aka fired....no warning or reasoning really!

3.  We often think of spring as a time for new beginnings. What's something you'd like to start doing this spring?

Being outdoors more....exploring WNY....learning more about where I call home. 

4. Where do you like to sit in a movie theatre? When did you last sit there, and what were you watching?

I like the back.....last movie was at Thanksgiving it was the 2nd Hunger Games movie! 

5. When you meet someone for the very first time, what do you want them to think about you?

That I'm friendly and easy to talk to.

6. March is frozen food month (yes, really!). Besides ice cream (gotta make you think a little) what's your most often purchased frozen food item?

Frozen fruit for smoothies

7. What's something you avoid?

Getting gas....I wish I lived in NJ! I always hope it's low when hubby is driving my car! Not sure why I hate it probably because it's always bad weather when I need it. 

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Today is our 26th Wedding Anniversary!! I can't believe how fast it's gone.....feels like yesterday I was a young 22 saying I do to the man of my dreams! I wouldn't change a thing I love him more and more with each day passing....never knew that was possible. He is my everything! Love you Craig! 

Have a wonderful Wednesday! 

Happy St. Paddy's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Everyone is Irish today!

I made a collage of all my favorites

We went to Ireland in 2005 

I loved it there...

and yes I did kiss the Blarney Stone!

This is my favorite Irish Blessing!

Made Drunken Irish Stew

I'm not much of a corn beef and cabbage kind of girl! 

Sophie is dressed in her Lucky Dog Irish Tee today!

Katelyn as a toddler or as she calls it when I dressed her like a boy! 

I hope you have a wonderful day

Irish or not! 

Sunday in my city

Today is the year anniversary of

 Seton Hill University Woman's Lacrosse bus accident.

A year ago today their coach and her unborn baby died in the crash

 along with the bus driver.

Many players were injured including Katelyn's BFF Amanda.

It's been a long road to recovery for her and many others.

I know today's memorial game will be emotional.

My heart is heavy remembering that tearful call from Katelyn. 

Today my heart is still heavy for Coach Quigley's family.

I'am happy these two peas in a pod will be there cheering on follow players and friends

Joining Unknown Mami today! 

Stop by and join in

Friday Fragments

 Happy Friday! 

Stop by Mrs. 4444's for more Friday Fragments

Last night was my theater group we saw

Porgy and Bess

I have to say I usually like everything

This one was not my favorite

Second half was better than first

Glad I saw it but once is enough! 

I know everyone is sick of winter

 and sick of people like me complaining about it!

It really feels like there is not end in sight...

Today there was a glimpse of Spring in my neighborhood

40's and Sun...

Yup 

I turned off the heat 

Opened windows and doors

Turned on some music

Cleaned my house 

Cleaned the mud and snow residue out of garage

Sat on my porch soaking up the sun

because tomorrow we are back to winter

I wish my Girl Scout cookies would show up...

All I can think about is Thin Mints

and Samoas....she said March 1st....

I've really never known GS to be liars! 

Okay maybe not liars but procrastinators 

Delay at delivering....slackers!

Okay I'll calm down it's just cookies!

I pretty much bailed on March photo a day! 

I'm trying to look for a job and this weather

Well basically lack inspiration in the photo dept....

Maybe next month! 

Have a happy weekend! 

Throw Back Thursday

Happy Thursday! 

Even though I'm looking out my window at 13 inches of fresh snow 

on top of the foot of snow still lingering in my yard from before the March Blizzard!

I'm searching for Spring! 

I took this picture on March 17, 2010

We still were living in Germany

It's down at the flower market 

One of my favorite places and memories!

Miss that place!

Today

 Today 

Major blizzard in Buffalo area

Schools are closed

Expecting up to 12 inches of snow!

Mother Nature is a B@$#h!

Yesterday was the calm before the storm...

It was crisp but the sun was shinning!

I abandon cleaning my house and took advantage of the Vit D

Katelyn and her friends suffering in paradise!

Today she is suffering one too many Pina Coladas! 

Don't feel bad for her....

She is in paradise!

Spring Break

It's Spring Break for my girl....

Their on their way to the Dominican Republic ✈

I think they plan on coming back....

by the looks of how much they packed one could wonder!!

I hope they have fun 

but not too much fun

like the kind that gets you arrested !

Be safe girls

Be smart girls....Please!

Happy Friday!

Friday Fragments

joining Mrs. 4444's over @ 

Half Past Kissin Time

Happy Friday! 

Just finished my 5th week of Shaun T- T25 workout video

Feeling stronger 

Feeling good

Who knows maybe I'll start a dance walk routine in my village

(probably just in my kitchen)

Loved this video made me smile!

Here's  my Day 6 and 7 Photo a day!

The sun finally showed it's face here....

It was still a little chilly but with a parka on

 I soaked up as much vitamin D I could

Of coarse I had to share my chair with SD!

This guy sits up in my hubbies office...

He flies 

He cracks nuts 

but he mostly collects dust! 

Had a job interview today....

It went really well.....

It's the perfect job.....

I really hope and pray I get it......

Happy Friday!! 

The days are slipping by......

Here are my days

3,4 and 5

K is for Kathy

My girls are always on my mind

i is for Icicle 

We are warming up its 18 degrees today

keep hearing a few of these breaking...

Happy Wednesday!

March- picture a day ♣

I'm gonna try and do this 

I try every month I really do....

Day One

Something Yellow

I bought these Tulips in hope to force Spring to come

and 

to brighten my day and house.....

Day Two 

Something borrowed

Does an idea count?

I've been on the hunt for things to style my new shelves

this is something I've been looking for as seen on Pinterest and many deco blogs...

not exactly the right color 

I might paint it another color 

but for now I like how it brings out the golds in other shelves.

Hello March ♣

March is one of my favorite months

It's Saint Patrick's Day on the 17th

The day everyone is Irish

It's our anniversary month

26 years on the 19th!

It's Katelyn's birthday month

20 on the 28th!

I have big hopes for March

The start of Lent

looking forward to the days being lighter longer

Day light savings time is next Sunday!

Hopefully warmer weather and some snow melting!

A job!

♣ Happy MARCH ♣
