First a milestone!

I didn't realize it yesterday but that post was #400! Cripes how have I had 400 independent thoughts... well probably not terribly independent, but 400 posts - of course most of last February's were about the mounting snow totals... and there went the wheels off the bus...

So (toot toot) of my own horn! 400 posts...

and now to the 401st....

The day began with ice, and not the good kind, frozen and in a drink glass on a tropical beach. Nope it was the yucky kind stuck to my family truckster and the roads in general. Schools were cancelled, I camped in for the day at home - lazy and didn't want to fight my way to a major road, the fight my way off the major road to back roads to my office. So sent a message to the boss man - he was cool and I made all the Tuesday morning conferences and meetings.

Bubba cleaned off part of the driveway, then headed out, he called about an hour later letting me know he was there, there were indeed some slick spots but he made it in... and I'm still lazy and at home.

I head south tomorrow for work, one night for work no big deal. It's Bubba's birthday we talked about this when I got the invite to go, its just to Hampton Roads to nice 4 hour-ish drive and back home Thursday. I made him a cake yesterday - it wasn't fruit based, it was yellow cake with homemade (mostly) chocolate icing with walnuts on top and sides. When presented he asked, what was in the middle? Yellow cake - he grumped and when asked if he could take anything graciously he asked if he should pretend to be happy when he doesn't like something. Why not I do! HE wanted lemon cake with chocolate icing - barf.

So I fed him dinner, he ate, I ignored him - posted my unhappy status on face book, got some great comments, and moved on with my night. He did apologize, managed to choke down a piece and we moved on. Yes part of the cake was that I wanted chocolate cake, but I added nuts, yellow cake - I should have filled it with something fruity to keep him happier but I didn't think of that one... remember boys and girls you are what you eat - and my husband is Fruit and Nuts.

I've got to get girl's group paperwork done - just got a phone call and for some reason I thought I had another week... I swear to high heaven I'm losing days and weeks and simply cannot get it together. Yeesh.

But another fun topic to ponder for today... Bubba called the job he's got, want to keep him until the end of February. Then maybe keep him around for a little longer subbing for someone else. OK fine -whatever. Then Bubba tells me that he wants to take 2-3 weeks off. Umm ok honey - thinking where I can hide the bleach and other household issues he can mess with... then I begin to wonder what he is going to do with himself for 3 weeks when the weather is a bit iffy... i.e. March. Should make these posts more entertaining. Even more fun - maybe I could beg a trip to Huntsville... that would be evil... and yet.

Perhaps we could talk Bubba into learning how to cook... well I do need to slim down.. that would help.

Off to deal with paperwork... talk at you later. From a winter's beach.
