    Default Just Questions: Leaping Into Spring.

    Sounds like even our perpetual optimist Pogo is getting a little tired of the icky weather, so, while we won't wish our days away, we can take a virtual leap on this leap year and have our own virtual JQ spring.



    So imagine that all the snow and ice are gone, the air smells fresh and clean (Of course Ellen won't have to imagine it this week) and you're basking in sunshine.

    Nice, ain't it?

    We've had some lovely sunshine this week! We also had a delicious meal out - scallops, fillet steak and pink rhubarb creme brulee. Totally yummy?

    So where is this virtual spring of ours?

    Yahoo! It's springtime! C'mon guys, let's break out the !

    Hey, and later, who's up for some ?

    Did you know that we're 120 days out from our trip? In 30 days we get to choose seat assignments for our flight and make horseback ressies and such. I can't wait! (sorry Pogo, don't mean to wish the days away.)

    So..... if it's a virtual spring does that mean someone has to cut the virtual grass? And who wants to wash all the icky salt off my car?

    Sounds like a great meal Mikki! My pot roast turned out pretty good. Who has some chocolate for dessert?

    In your mind, my dear, in your mind. You remember "The Music Man" don't you? You have to use 'the think method.'

    Pogo will cut your grass and Alex will wash your car. I don't think he has anything else to do!!!

    I have chocolate brownies I bought at the store. Do you want one?

    Yeah spring! But why didn't we stay at Valentines at least until the end of Valentine's Day?

    It was beautiful today - and supposed to be that way through Monday! I think its supposed to be 60 on Monday!!

    Anyone have any Valentine's chocolate? (or do I have to steal some out of the kids Valentine's bags?)

    Wow!! Sounds pretty terrific... esp. still it's very white and very cold around here...

    Mmmm... that dinner sounds marvelous!! We had chicken fettucine, some Reisling and Dan brought home truffles for dessert... yumm!! Still getting the last child off to bed... then time for a movie and a bit more Reisling!

    Yeah for you!! We're still at about 290 days... but hey, at least it's not in the 300's still!! We're going to do horseback riding on our next trip, too, for the first time... have you done it before??

    I've got some truffles to share -- okay, maybe not the rum ones - but you guys are welcome to the rest!!

    Catch you all later...

    Sheesh, try to bring in a little sunshine and what do you get? Critics. Well, I've got one word for you:

    And just for that, you get an extra dose of uniodized salt for your car. So there.

    In the meantime, at least Scott is in the spirit. He gets an extra dose of fresh air with no allergens.

    So how'd everybody's nice warm, fresh, springy Valentine's go?

    Nobody knows the truffles I've seen...

    Oops, sorry, couldn't resist. Are you sure you don't have any port ones to share? If not, I guess I could settle for a starboard.

    I think it's time to go to bed. I'm getting delerious... Must be spring fever.

    oh, wow. The scary part is the amount of thought that must have taken.

    What'd every body get from their valentine?
    We had a nice dinner down at the Red Lobster.
    Just kidding, we went to Ruth's Chris.

    Oh, my mommy bought us a crib and some baby furniture. The good stuff too.

    Happy Valentine's Day!

    We went out to dinner last night (Abuelo's) for Valentine's. DH got me a 2GB flash drive with Mickey Mouse on it. And, I got him a new rolling laptop bag - although it won't arrive until next week sometime.

    How ironic that we're going into virtual spring when my actual temperatures are supposed to drop from highs in the 70's from today to high's in the 40's starting tomorrow! At least there won't be any nasty frozen stuff (although it is supposed to rain).

    Why is it already bedtime again? Sweet dreams everyone!

    I grew up in the Bronx. What is a possum? Can I substitute with a big ol' dead rat?

    (Had to quote the old fashion way on the above...cut and paste, manually Italicize, etc. Remember the good old days before the multiple quote button?)

    I dream of washing cars in the warm sun.

    By the way, I think I have start thinking about going back to work. I just found out that our April Sales Meeting will be in Orlando!
