Spring has sprung here in Central Texas.

1. I need to mow here too
I can't believe it. I keep putting it off, in disbelief.

8. We're crazy Yankees!
I'm from the wild rural part of MA, where we gun it to 35 to drive through drifts for fun, and spinning out isn't so much scary as it is a competition to see who can produce more revolutions! :rofl:

And, yes, I actually used to do that stuff, with my little brother....Don't tell my mom! :P

9. A mid March snow storm is business as usual
and this hardly qualifies as a storm, at least not here. No wind, can still see the tree line from the house, temps in the mid twenties. Not even worth bringing in the brass monkeys.

15. Ew.
I just checked it too. :(

Right NOW, even though it says cloudy it's sunshiney and NICE.


I'm TIRED. Just got home from work a few minutes ago ... funny story. We were at some guys house fixing his wireless internet "stuff" (the technical term!!) and we had to call the office for some info - Ralph and I were sorta fighting over who was going to call... because neither of us wanted to talk to our "favorite" co-worker. The guy asked if we were avoiding someone... and after we hemmed and hawed for a minute the customer said "It wouldn't happen to be "favorite co-worker", would it? :rofl: Yep, his ears have been talked off on the phone before too. :D

17. Heh. :)
Jen's planning on giving the car back as soon as we fix the bumper. Funny thing is - she sent Thayne an email today asking him how she should tell Jerry about the bumper, since his girlfriend's been calling a LOT and Jen hasn't answered the phone. Thayne told her don't worry, he'll tell Jerry, and he'll get the bumper replaced but that she has to give the car back at the end of the month because he can't afford it "anymore". I told Jen to tell him we're already taking care of the bumper - she she wrote back and said "don't worry - Jen and I have the bumper covered and I was planning on giving the car back anyway". He's like... :wtf: ? lol He was none too pleased about that - guess he doesn't know how to handle her taking care of business for HERSELF. And that she's not in total reliance on him anymore. Less control I suppose.

Jen ROCKS! :D

18. Yep - he's a control freak.
If it's his idea, it's good. If it's hers, it's bad.

She does rock! We have the best 18 year old daughter in the world. :silly:

Even better? After thanking him for the introduction she went on and on about how AWESOME her life is and how she's more happy than she's ever been in her life. ;)

I'll have to tell her to let him know it's because I give it to her GOOOOOOD. :rofl:
