I had a slice of Strawberry cake last night.0

England is unnervingly warm. I feel like we are being lulled into a false sense of spring and then it’s going to suddenly dump a load of snow on us. According to the car it was 18C today, that’s just crazy warm for this time of year.
We have been unseasonably cold for the last couple weeks until two days ago! I think we are officially in early spring finally!! SO EXCITED3 -

I am pretty sure that we have all of your rain here in Tennessee, Lois. I made it to the grocery store and back, but I had to take a bit of a detour around a flooded road and am counting myself blessed not to be in a mudslide. I have seen reporting of four today in my region and one on Chattanooga where my oldest lives.
Touch wood, where we live isn’t really a flood zone so we haven’t had to deal with anything like that. And we are on a huge hill. And 5 floors up in a tower block.
We do however have a blocked sink and the washing machine drains through the same pipes and I have a load of washing that won’t drain out so neither of us are doing well with water.
At least Mother Nature will fix my problems eventually. I hope you can get your drain cleared quickly.
Argh it ended up being a nightmare! We chucked every unblocking chemical we had down the sink, boiling water, plunger, nothing worked. Danny ended up unscrewing the pipework and cleaning it bit by bit, but it was all pretty clear, so we decided the blockage was outside the flat where we couldn’t reach it. For whatever reason he tried blowing down the tube (we had cleaned it) and you actually heared something go and after that it cleared. So we ran the hot tap for a couple of minutes and, so far it has been fine. But what a MESS!
Sod’s law we’ll find out we broke a fitting or something and it’s leaking out into other flats.
But we’ll see!
I certainly think you've had enough of Sod and his law in the last year so I hope it's just fixed.
Yup, Sod can sod off! I’m just about done with 2019 already.
So far I’ve had a car crash, lost the office keys, damaged my car interior, dead fish, blocked drains, and the jumper I spent 3 months knitting ended up being too short in the body and I can’t be kittened to undo it and redo it with a longer body. And I still can’t decide whether to have kids or not.
I went around a friends house yesterday and loved being with their 7 month old, but after watching the 2 of them and having a frank conversation about parenthood I’m still not convinced Danny is up to the job.
I have until the beginning of May to decide because my IUD expires then and I can have it taken out and take the plunge (or go to the pill for a little while), or have another one put in if I chose not to have kids for a long while.
AK! You've been having a rough/ and very annoying go of it, it sounds like! And the kid thing? You have until you feel like it to decide. Don't let anyone else or your ovaries (crafty little kittenz they are) tell you otherwise. The pill is always a good option, because you can stop it at any time. And be on it as long as you want. And while the IUD can last for several years in a row, it too can be removed at any time. You are not committed to it's full effectiveness length. Perhaps it may be good to find a way to discuss your concerns with your husband? Since kids aren't immanent right now, it would be great to get anything that is concerning you out in the open with your husband. Before you make a solid decision. Like how you are worried he may not pull his weight. Easier said then done though, I do realize. I still keep flip flopping between "What will be, will be" and "OH GOD WHAT AM I DOING?!?! ". But right now, I am of the mind that whatever happens, will be what is meant to be. Until my hormones rev up on me anyways, lol.Crafty_camper123 wrote: »Finally warmed up here too! I woke up and it was 31F, and not -1! yay. But the dang wind howled all night. The weather says SW winds of 30-40 with gusts up to 55-60.
I just looked at my weather app, and now it says 2 above... Not sure why. I swear it was 31 (and felt like it) when I came in to work 45 minutes ago.. Weird...
...Checked Wunderground's map, and rewound it to 6:30 AM , and I'm not crazy, lol. It really did just drop nearly 30 degrees in an hour.
The weather here is crazy!
What?! That’s insane!
RIGHT?!? I thought I misread my weather app this morning. (Since I was still bleary eyed from sleeping.) Until I got on Wunderground to see previouis temperatures for the day, I thought for sure I was losing my mind. Now we've warmed up to a balmy 11 above, and it's supposed to somehow make it to 38. But since it tanked that hard this morning, maybe it'll make it?
Argh I know. After being with baby Matthew on Sunday I do want kids, I do. I had a conversation about this with my hairdresser on Thursday because she is in the same position (but younger) and we came to the conclusion that if Danny wants kids (he does) and I want kids (I do) I just have to decide if I’m prepared to do it without the help I want/ expect
Does that sound ridiculous?! Am I going about this the wrong way?
I have had this conversation with Danny, but he isn’t very reliable at keeping promises. He promised he would help out, but he promised he would sell a pile of books 18 months ago and they are still piled up in our back room. But he did sell his guitar case.
Our friend said he will change the second I am pregnant. Reality will charge in.
I might be going crazy...
You cannot count on that. Plenty of dads are wonderful but there is also that bunch that just are like an extra child at times and you end up 'raising' both of them. Those are usually the ones that call staying home with their own kids while the wife is out 'babysitting'.
Can you take baby Matthew for a weekend and test the waters? A full 3 days or something should give you both an idea what is required.....3 -
Lows and highs of the day: Andrew decided to 'help' by trying to empty the potty out himself. It did not go well... Then we made rice crispy treats this afternoon which was super fun and he followed instructions very well. He's a proper little boy now!
I love this!
Well, the second part lol0 -

Oh, that's sad. I didn't eat pancakes, but I had a burger and fries. It didn't make me as miserable as it could have and I didn't feel guilty for going over because it's Ash Wednesday and I won't eat anything at all until dinner today. (And that might be pancakes as fries are my Lenten sacrifice and I haven't been to the grocery store to get anything else to fix. I also gave up Twitter if anyone cares.)
I care!
I didn't have pancakes either because I had meat sauce in the fridge I had to use as I could not eat it Wednesday.
I gave up chocolate and am REALLY missing hot chocolate! That is the form of chocolate I have most.....2 -

Co-irker needs to back off. We have several people in my office who will be wearing ashes today. No big.
It's a big deal to me to go to church and engage in corporate repentance. God knows, church attendees need to mourn for the crap we keep seeing in the news. I don't care if anyone else does or does not and I know that I am asking to be held responsible for what I believe with my public proclamation that I believe it. I understand that not every believer feels the need. I don't understand lecturing another person about following her conscience.
I’m sure I said this last year, but I don’t think I’ve seen one person in England wearing ashes. Whether they wash it off (like you suggested last year) or it’s just something people don’t really do over here anymore. Either way, if I saw it I would have a confused look and then probably realise what today is and then go about my day. No comments required or needed.
The only place I saw it in England was in school, which was catholic, and even then it was the minority. I don't appreciate people lecturing me about my atheism, so I don't go around telling others how to display (or not) their own beliefs. While ever it does not harm, each to their own.[/quote]

Pretty common behavior for fighters and wrestlers trying to make weight before a match.

People are jerks! I usually forget what day it is when someone comes into Walmart with what looks like dirt on their face, but then I realize what day it is & go about my usual business.0 -

When I called in for my interview, my director said "What's, oh, yeah..." and went on with what she called me in for. She goes to a nondenominational kinda pentecostal church. If she can handle it, anyone can.2 -
I still can't believe Luke Perry died.
The last production I had watched him in was this Hallmark movie https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/love-in-paradise
I still remember watching 90210 with my mom & sister growing up & loving the Brenda/Dylan coupling. I was so irritated when the show split them up & had Dylan with Kelly.1 -
I was a huge 90210 fan too! I even went to a mall appearance they had with Luke Perry (and Ian Ziering) and cried my face off when I saw him!
I never liked him with Kelly either. But I loved when he was with Brenda.0 -
Last Luke Perry show I watched him in was the Riverdale series. Really liked him there. He went so young.0
