Trying

I'm trying to be a good blogger, posting at a minimum once a week.  It's been a busy week, I'm tired and I keep going.  I'm doing my best to multi-task to get things accomplished.  Right now, I have my first load of laundry in the dryer and my second load of laundry in the washer.  I've got breakfast started (it's 1:30pm, lol).  I'm squeezing writing this in between.  Time to flip the eggs, be right back.  Decided to stay with the eggs and eat before coming back here, sorry for the wait, lol.  There goes the buzzer on the dryer, be right back.  Everything folded and put in the basket, blouses, shirts and pants on hangers and put away.  White load is in the dryer.

In the meantime, I got an alert that an eBay item I had on my watch list expired before I was able to bid on it - it was just relisted, there's my next stop.  I also have some sunglasses on my watch list on eBay I have to check on too.

I went outside for a walk around the house to capture signs of Spring.  The temperature is 67 degrees, it is sunny and feels warmer.  It's really a beautiful day.

Monday, we decided to go out to lunch with the coworkers because it was one coworker's birthday.  Here's our crew, we process the payroll.  Birthday boy is front right, I'm last on the left (yeah, the Asian girl, lol).  We don't get much of an opportunity to all go to lunch together, so it was nice.

I try to remember to keep my camera on during my drives to and from work - you never know what you'll see (worth capturing on camera, of course)!  On my way home from work Thursday, traffic was at a dead stop.  My normal 15-20 minute route home was 45 minutes, I found out why....

Unfortunately, someone got rear-ended.  It didn't look like anyone was hurt, thankfully.  There was a police car, fire truck and a tow truck there, no ambulance (unless it was enroute).  Now you know why I keep my camera handy.

On my way to work Friday, I noticed purple (my favorite color) in front of this house - phlox are in bloom, just gorgeous, to me anyway.  Glad I had my camera handy!



We had a few hot days this week, we actually broke a record - it hit 92 degrees on Wednesday, it was very warm!  Felt like we jumped right into summer.  Thankfully, rain showed up Thursday night into Friday morning to blow away the heat, humidity and pollen.

Also Wednesday morning at work we had a fire drill.  Remember those fire drills in high school?  It just took one person to say "hey, let's leave and go get breakfast" and off we'd go in someone's car for the rest of the day...ahh, the good ol days.  It was temping to take off with the nice weather.  Alas, we all returned to work when we got the "all clear".  Being grown up isn't always fun.

 

That's about the most interesting parts of my week.  Now, for my stroll around my yard, seeing the signs of spring.  This tulip wasn't there last weekend.  The hosta next to it is starting to sprout.

 

More hostas sprouting....

Bunny guarding sprouting hostas, lol...

Daffodils!

We plan to dig out this whole area and prep it for a vegetable garden.  That's what is suppose to be on next weekend's agenda, weather permitting.  We're holding off to plant until May, just to be safe of frost.

This I took from my car in the parking lot at work.  They had just planted pansies on the walkway into the building.  Kinda put me in the spring mood, helps the attitude when going to work!  All laundry is done - folded and put away.

 

Finally for all us allergy sufferers, here's a reminder that pollen season has just started.  See below all the trees just starting to bloom?  Those trees will drizzle a nice yellow dust on the cars in the coming weeks, which will have some of us sneezing for the next month.  Remember sneezers, stock up on your allergy medicine. 

 

 

Hubby is cleaning off the back deck.  I'm going to clean off the pato table.  We've decided to have cocktails on the deck this rest of the afternoon.  First, a quick stop at eBay, have a great week!
