HOLY CRAP, IN A NICE WAY

Well peeps it's been one busy day, as I didn't have the day before off as I normally would. Got lots done, laundry and some clean up and phone calls I had to make, etc. Plus we had someone over this afternoon too. Tomorrow is going to be somewhat of a sad day....... my very good friend Mae is moving out to B.C. permanently this weekend, and she's coming over to say goodbye to me tomorrow. She was my maid of honour when I remarried 8 years ago, and she saw me through the absolute WORST of my becoming a new widow and grieving before. I've always called her my "Earth Angel" cuz that's what she is to me.

VICKYTORIA ARE YOU READING THIS?? lol Okay darling, I changed my font to a much darker green and the background to an even subtler shade of soft yellow. Does that help? I don't want to compromise the yellow and green sunflower theme going on that I worked hard to get just right here, but at the same time I want people to be able to view it. It must be that computer monitors show things as different colours, because on mine, it's very soft and not bright at all. Anyway I hope it's better for you ~~ let me know ok? *smoochies*

I've listened to my new Def Leppard CD more than once and I'm loving it ~ can't get enough of No Matter What, I'm just crazy about the way they do that song! And this morning I watched them on The Today Show and it was great ~~ I was looking out for my NooYawk Sista Janna.....but couldn't spot her. I'm just waiting to read her post about it on Savage Attitude and then I'll find out more...... I wish I could have been there!! And tonight they are on The Tonight Show and I'll tape that puppy too, lol. **UPDATE:** I did finally spot Janna on TV at the Today Show......and apparently it was a misprint about the Lepps being on the Tonight Show.***

Hubby wants to see if we can get a loan and do all the repairs on our house this spring and summer. It's almost 40 yrs. old and falling down around us. We're talking things that NEED to be done too, not only esthetics ~ new roof, new windows and doors, new front sidewalk and front step (both caving in) new front lawn (caving in) new or fixed deck in the back, ours is rotting away. And we have wood siding that's painted white, and he wants to replace it with brick. Could be that our house will be Grand Central Station for the summer. Bleh! But it really does have to be done or we'll get condemmed, lol.

Right now it's nice out......not too hot, and sunny. But in the next couple of days they are calling for some hot stuff, and I've been dreading it so bad. I wish I only got "just hot" and not physically ill with the heat. Summer high temperatures are something that I really dread with almost fear now... and myself and several others I know (sister Pammie included) wish that we could go from May right to October......and just skip the summer heat, lol. Of course, we'd like spring and autumn to last for several months though! Anyway by Monday I should already be feeling it, and extreme exhaustion and nausea is the worst part. It isn't too bad if it's only a couple days at a time, but if it stretches to a week or more, I'm about ready to admit myself to a hospital, lol. Bleh again!!

I am still absolutely LOVING my Windows XP, thank you everyone who already has it for your recommendations and support. The only thing I still have to work on is getting sound. I think (well in actuality, Pammie is pretty sure, I don't know diddly squat about it) that I have to download some new stuff for it is all. So hopefully that will do it. In the meantime, every single other issue and problem I was having before with Windows M.E. is now history, and I'm very happy!

To all of my U.S. friends, I wish you a FABULOUS long weekend!!! May the sun shine and the breeze be refreshing; and may you all stay safe! To everyone, have a great weekend and take care of each other ~ PEACE until next time!

Love Jude
