What happened to Spring ?

The weather is crazy and I can't wait for it to be Spring. Today, we are in the 50's and under wind advisory until 2am. Then tonight, we are supposed to be in the 30's. Not just that, they are talking about snow flurries here in Atlanta. Tuesday, the highs are 45 and the low is 29. Ugh !!!!

I am excited that my hubby is coming back from Egypt Friday night.
His mom is going into the hospital today to start chemo again. I hope that everything turns out the way they hope. I am happy that my hubby got to go and spend time with his mom. I know that it doesn't make things any easier for him and a part of me is sure that he is torn between coming home and leaving his mom.

My husband was excited yesterday because his niece gave birth to a baby boy. I would try and spell his name but I am sure I would misspell it horribly.

Kids are upset because Spring Break for them is now over and they had to go back to school today. Um, wish I could share their pain lol. We had a lot of fun over Spring Break together and they were very happy so that is all that is important.

Friday March 6,2009

I found this cool gif while looking for one to add to my other blog. It doesn't go with anything I have to write about but I thought it was sooo cool I added it here.

I can't believe it but we still have some snow on the ground in the shadowy places. Official snow amount for Sunday was, get this, 7 inches. Yup, I said 7. Crazy isn't it. It was a far cry from the supposed 1-2 inches we were supposed to get.
The snow was beautiful but I think the most amazing thing about it was that for the majority of the time, it was thundering while it was snowing and even more neat, it was lightening. When it would flash lightening, the sky lit up the most beautiful green I have ever seen.

Now, the weather is supposed to be warming up greatly. This weekend we are looking at the 70's. My kind of weather !!!

The store Poppy's Scroll Saw Woodwork :
is getting more traffic which is good. The Monthly Trivia question seems to be bringing more traffic to the stores website I built which is good also. So far since the kick off of the trivia game, I have had 3 people get the correct answer. One is supposed to be shopping this weekend at the store so we will see. I haven't had any sales yet but I am not giving up. To me it just means that I look for more places to advertise and more outlets to get the store name out there.
Today, I will be updating some sites that I am on for the store, especailly the store's blog. I have been searching for some cool gifs to add to it.

Anyway, I have been neglecting some of the places that I write articles, so today I think I might add some articles to hub pages and helium.

I hope everyone has a great day.

A Nice Spring Like Day

It is such a beautiful day outside. The weather is supposed to be in the 60's from now until the middle of next week. Hopefully, all this wonderful weather coming up doesn't mean that before winter is over we are going to get a really nasty ice storm or something.


A couple of days ago my husband and I went and got his brithday present. His birthday isn't until the 22nd of this month but that's ok. I guess his present covers Valentines also.
We got him an iphone. That thing is so cool with so many different applications that can be put on it. The touch screen is amazing and he is so happy with it. He had been using a blackberry for the last 3 or so years. The blackberry was on its last leg. The dial wasn't working anymore and neither was the alarm clock.


Wanted to remind everyone that they should check out Poppy's blog for current information on the store. There is an extension on the Valentine's coupon we have available and also a brief discussion on Grandma's Corner.




Hope everyone is having a great day and that you are getting a little warm weather.

Monday, bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yesterday, the kids were out of school and we had game day. The kids and I played Cat-opoly again, Tyler won, and we played Life, Kait won. We had a lot of fun and the kids are already talking about what game we will play Friday night.

So yesterday afternoon, I didn't get on the computer that much. However last night I worked on another site for promoting the store. It took me about 2 hours to get it to look the way I thought it was supposed to. When and if it gets approved I will add a link here so you can see it.

This morning I had two grumpy kids who didn't want to go to school. Currently at 8:19am it is 24 with a windchill in the teens. Very cold at the bus stop.

This morning I still have to update some sites and work on some other stuff for the store. My google analytics shows hits for the store from seven countries. Pretty cool. We are getting the name out there.

Friday Morning Brrrrrrrrrrrr

It is so cold this morning. 13 with a windchill of ZERO. ugggggghhhh. My son dressed in two pairs of jeans and socks, three shirts and a huge jacket, scarf and hat. My daughter was dressed layered close to that also. The were so fluffy I guess the word would be that they had quite a bit of difficulty using their backpacks. LOL especailly Tyler.

It amazes me the miracle that happened with the flight in New York yesterday. No one killed or seriously hurt when the plane crashed into the Hudson River. God surely blessed them all. People who need proof that there are miracles really need to take a close look at the crash yesterday.

Check out Poppy's blog and link to his store. There is a Valentines coupon code for google shoppers for 10% off.

Tooooooo Cold

It is 9:15 pm and 27 outside with a windchill of 16. I don't like this cold weather. My kids school called tonite to say that kids will be picked up at their houses instead of at the bus stop because of how cold it is supposed to be in the morning.

I didn't get a lot accomplished today because I stayed up late last night setting up a facebook page to help promote the store. Turns out four of my best friends in highschool were on facebook and so now we are talking. That is tooo cool.
It is really neat seeing how people have changed since highschool and seeing their families.

Last night I got the coupon done for the Valentines specials for Poppy's Scroll Saw Woodwork.
Go and check out the store. If you find something you like, use google checkout and put in the coupon code: HEARTS and you can get a 10% discount on your order.
