Month: March 2014

Oh goodness… Don’t over or under estimate Mother Nature. Our country has been hit hard this year if you listen to the news and places that don’t see certain types of weather have seen it this year, but I truly wonder how different it is than other years. I mean in 2011 we got 18 inches of snow which is unreal for us, but it happened.

So I dunno. I think I want to be a meteorologist… wrong 90% of the time and still go to a job the next day.

We found out that starting Saturday evening at 6pm through Monday morning at 6am we were under some kind of winter weather advisory. I can’t keep them straight.

My MIL’s water needed fixing (dunno what was wrong with it) so my FIL met hubby and me at my MIL’s house and they worked on her well. (yes we live in the country and we all work off wells :))

I kept claiming this was the calm before the storm. Thursday night you could just feel the weather changing while we were standing outside working on her well.

Friday they said we would get some rain/sleet mix. As I was driving to lunch to meet my parents the rain started. I guess they were more in the sleet but I was more in the rain. See rain/sleet mix.

But come Sunday morning… we finally got the weather. Church never closes and they cancelled. It was crazy. We went to some friends house for lunch and this was the lovely weather.

When we came home this is what our road looked like. I’m fairly certain no one had driven down it in hours.

They actually cancelled school on Monday. So Tuesday headed to class, this was what the roads around the campus looked like. Seriously? It was a sheet of ice… sure why not make inexperienced college students drive in this crap :). It’s funny because all the universities around close down except the one I go to.

So happy first week of March, right? That’s okay, last year in May we got snow so whatever :).

Oh no…. we’re back for round 2 of Uh Oh! What’s she thinking?!?! I’m telling you guys, this is a scary place to be, especially with a pregnant girl, right? . Hmmmm are you trying not to offend me or is no one actually there… lol :).

++I really like Cheez-its in the Cheddar Jack flavor but I can’t seem to find them at the store in a box. So far the only place I can find them is in a Duo box with another flavor (forget which one) or else in the individual packages but they’re boxed with regular and the White cheddar. The individual packages work great for taking to school with me, but what about when I’m at home wanting them?

++I might have actually found my first craving… Orange Soda. Okay so confess Sesh… I say pop unless it’s dealing with Orange and then it’s soda. I can’t explain it, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

++I can tell you that my water tastes nothing like Orange Soda.

++So this week we’re starting Absalom, Absalom in Faulkner. I have absolutely NO idea what it’s about. I have to get crackilackin though and read it because I have Reading Thinking Journal questions due on Thursday! Yikes! Actually the questions are due tomorrow for Thursday. I can’t even tell you what the back of the book says the book is about because there’s a HUGE green sticker that says Buy Used & Save.

++So I’m sitting here in the library dancing to the song playing through my earphones. Wonder if anyone noticed??!!

++I’m so ready for Spring and I’m sooooo ready for Spring Break! I swear this winter seems to have drug on this year. But I’m not now nor have I ever been a huge fan of winter. The only part of winter I like is the snow replenishes the soil with nitrogen which helps in farming. Just saying.

++So we have baby foals (horses) that should be popping any day now. Well I’m still about a week out from really being able to say that but still.

++Today is March 4th. Did you know that means that it is my 6 month anniversary to my wedding anniversary? like you know, the halfway mark.

++Why is it the song you want to hear won’t come on and play when you want to listen to it, but a song you can’t stand happens to be playing within 5 minutes of turning on the radio or CMT? I guess I’ll settle for James Morrison You Make it Real and hope the song I want is in the line up soon?!?!

++Have I told you I’m SOOOOOO over this cold. Oh and I have one small spot of poison ivy. They say you can’t transfer it person to person but I disagree. I didn’t even know I was allergic to poison ivy until like last year or the year before when I had it something horrible! Although not like hubby or Tbug get it. Wonder if Peanut will be allergic.

++It’s almost lunch time so I think I’ll go find my Orange Soda now! Thanks for playing along!! 🙂
