It was a wonderful weekend, two in a row now.  It started out a little rocky with errands taking a long time due to Easter traffic, if you can imagine that.  Everything took twice as long as it should have, it was hot, our car doesn't have AC and Eric was particularly bitchy when I got back.  He mellowed after some time on his own smoking his pipe and listening to music, so all was forgotten.  We had a big meal yesterday because turkey was cheap.  David came over and we had a really nice time.  He let me know I was going to have to come up with a little hard drive (like 5 gig or so) to get Windows 98 on my computer, so I'm going to need to shop around for that.  Windows Me just doesn't get along well with my little Compaq.  I have to wipe the drive and reinstall, so I need a temporary resting place for my files I can't replace while the destruction occurs.  Once that's done, it should run pretty well.  I downloaded "Ad Aware" to clean up all the spyware on the computer and that's making it run much better.  Once I do the reinstall, it should be a lean, mean computer machine.

I've been  trying to conjure up some rain before we get too far into spring for it to come. Sacramento is known for having rainy winters (one of the aspects that makes me love the area) and I just haven't gotten my fill yet.  We had a bit of a spit this morning, but my morning glories and spirit need a good gusher. 

Everything feels really great, but I miss the rain a lot. I've always loved it, even when I was a little girl.  I got to spend years on Guam and in England, where it rains like mad.  I haven't been able to live in a place that has decent thunder storms since I left Ky in 1978 and that I miss very much.  I'm always too close to the coast, it seems.  It's not enough to make me want to move, but it's a sniggling little thing.  When I hear people talking about how cold it is (man, I hate the cold so much!), I'm usually sitting on my front porch on shirt sleeves drinking a soda on ice.  I adore California! 

Not much is going on today, so I'm going to leave you with some funnies. 

     

        

         

                

             

            

             

           

So let it rain!  I'm ready for a downpour, to sit in my bed with the window open and smell the rain and hear it on the roof and cuddle under my covers and watch TV. 

I am not completely sure why, but I'm feeling very hermitous and solitary.  I think I'm just overwhelmed from omnipresent kids.  Eric was great about helping out, but I think I'm just ready for a break.  One thing I do miss about Josh living here is that I could escape from time to time without it being a major endeavor to make sure someone is around to watch kiddies.  Eric is great about watching them any time I want to go out, but I want to go out with HIM.  :-)  I'm feeling tremendously excited about changes my spiritual group is going through and I think I'm just needing thinking time without little voices in my ears  :)  .

Hope everyone is doing well and has a spectacular week!

Love,

PS:  30 minutes later!  It's pouring!!  Yayyy!!!  Keep it going!!!!

 

Good God, She's Verbose!  There's More!
