One more week!
I can't wait until I go on vacation. I am so ready. I am sick of this snow and rain and misery. I just have SO much to do before. Packing is the easy part! Just getting thru the week is going to be the challenge! Yes, I will be blogging down there too!
Sarah had a concert last night. Those 3rd graders are so adorable. They still have that little kid look, but you can see the way they are growing up and changing. Sarah looked like a different girl up there. I didn't take pictures. I wish I did. She has this core group of friends that have been together since Kindergarten. I have to fill out logs for Sarah soon, she has an appt Monday for her endro Dr. We are going to discuss pumps. She has a field trip tomorrow but it is supposed to snow and then rain. I don't know if it will be cancelled.
Well, not much else to report. Have a good day everyone! Linda

Windy day
After our nice warm day yesterday, it is now windy and cold. We had a few claps of thunder last night as the front came through.
Only 9 more days until Louisiana! My brother is excited about me coming down, he has things planned for us to do. I have alot to do before I go however. Sarah has a concert tonight. Friday is a field trip to a maple sugar shack. Work the weekend. Monday off to go to Albany, Tuesday regular day off and I'm going to a luncheon for women's empowerment. Then Wednesday work and pack and leave Thursday! I need to make sure I have plenty of supplies for Sarah also before we go. Her sugars have been excellent the last couple days. When we go to Albany on Monday we are going to discuss the insulin pump with the Dr. , they will give us brochures so we can pick one. I am leaning toward Cozmos or Medtronic. There really isn't alot to choose from. One of them has cool colors and "skins" for kids. Those probably cost extra. Sarah can always decorate it with stickers etc...
I had the moped out last night and it is still stalling out. I found out there is a leak in the gas line. That will have to be replaced. Its just a rubber tube. My friend Scott is coming over Friday to pick it up and take it up to his place to work on it. He knows about motorcycles and things like that. He said it should be easy to fix. I just realized that I really only have to work one day next week! My vacation will be long, about two weeks! I have to board Daisy and find someone to check on the cats. I can ask Dave's son if he wants the job, I can pay him some cash. Well, time to get ready for work... Ugh. Linda

It's raining men
Well, ok that is an exaggeration. It's not raining men, it is sort of sprinkling them. I decided to meet a different guy. Matt just wasn't working out. He didn't have much time for me. I realize he is busy, but I don't like to be an after-thought just penciled in when convenient.
The new guy's name is Scott. He is 39 and lives north of me. He has two kids. Works full time, has a house and truck. Seems like a decent hardworking guy. He seems to like Sarah. We met the first time for dessert up at a local truckstop diner. Then Sarah and I went up to his house yesterday to see a movie. He really surprised me by leaning over my chair and giving me not one, not two, but 4 quick little kisses! I got two more through out the day! Other than that he was was the perfect gentleman. His house is not perfect either, so when he comes to mine, I won't worry so much. I'll just make sure the dishes are done and most of the trash is off the floor!
The birds are outside singing. I can hear chickadees calling back and forth. I am going to get the moped registered hopefully this week. I need to drain the old gas out of the tank and put in fresh. I can stop over to the hardware store and get a new gas can and oil that I need. I need to take a look and see where the clip is to take the gas hose off. Anyone know where I can dispose of old gas? David may take it to use in something. So now I just need to wait for it to warm up. I can probably make it if its cooler with gloves on. Work isn't that far. I need to take some trial runs with someone following me first though to make sure the moped is going to make it. I would hate to have it die on me part way to work. I also need to make sure I have my cell phone with me. I am probably going to invest in a reflective vest also. People don't know how to stay in their lanes here in upstate NY and we have some pretty sharp corners where I can get creamed. So I need to go get ready for work. Long week ahead of me. I'll be in Louisiana soon. Linda

Moped Mama rides again!
I've been thinking about buying a moped to get back and forth to work to help on gas and mileage on my lease car. I saw one yesterday in the wantad digest. I went up and looked at it. It was pretty old but still runs good. I paid a couple hundred for it (or more). I don't think it was worth that much, but they are hard to come by and also will pay for itself in gas soon enough. I just hope it stays reliable. This is a picture of one like it.

Falcon cam is up and running!
The Falcon cam in Albany on the Dunn Memorial bridge is running. The falcon female is on the nest and eggs are expected to hatch in May. I will put the link over on the left column also below the chick cam. Linda

Animal Kingdom
I think I have too many animals in this house. Three cats and a puppy. The day started out with Daisy chasing and tackling Tarzan on the floor. She then started in teasing Tiger who sat and growled at every animal who came near him. Now its Brownie's turn. I think she enjoys sparring with Daisy. She actually sits right above her and growls at Daisy and bats at her when she gets too close. Instead of retreating she engages in the battle. Daisy of course being a silly puppy, gets all exciting and rolls and barks and dances about teasing the cat. Alot of people think I should get rid of the dog or a couple cats. I am the type of person who thinks once you get an animal you are in for the long haul. I get attached and feel like I'm giving away a child almost. Then I would have to deal with the kids and their dramatics. Actually, you know who I dread the opinion of most? That awful girl at work who think she knows everything and acts like she does and always spouts nasty comments to me. I don't know why I care. She just acts so smug and superior about everything. Well, time to go to work. Have a nice day everyone...
