1.) Just did a little chair dance with sound effects when I saw that John Irving has a new novel coming out next month. I so love his books. This while I have a new Ann Tyler waiting for me in my Nook. Oh the riches of the Spring publishing season!
2.) Speaking of Spring. I provide this public service reminder: When you put on that first slathering of self tanner, remember to wash well with soap. I was very tired that evening and suffered the oddly stained hands for several days. My legs looked pretty good, though.
3.) Thursday was Hilda's Sweet Sixteenth birthday - it cost me $100.00. Not because she figured out how to shop online or order Pay Per View but because she was lonely and barking and our grouchy neighbor would rather call the police than close his windows ( she is in our house with all of ours closed)

4.) Jen on the Edge enlightened me to the eBay way to snag current styles shoes at discounted prices. I am watching for the black and white ballet flats of my desire to drop under $80.00. I had no idea that people had current styles on eBay - am losing my shoppers touch!
5.) We had such a mild winter here that I keep forgetting that it isn't even May yet. I have gotten so many warm weather projects done already. I refurbished my BBQ with new innards and scrubbed off the grease and crud. I have planted a lime tree, a hibiscus and several herbs and annuals. This weekend I hope to untarp my mosaic area and get to work making this:
Except covered with colorful tiles!

I've been patiently waiting for a certain sweater to pop up on eBay. I've been waiting months -- MONTHS, I tell you. It finally popped up this week and I placed a bid and just found out that I won the auction. I'm so excited.
