and a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORRIE! your hubby owes you alot of roses today, have fun!!
Not going to be anything going on here today, the rain has set in and will be here for the next 4 days. My babies are confined to the house/barn, the field is standing water and the drive is 6" deep. It is a mess out there.......so wanted to go into Pcola today.
I didn't like how my last post turned out, so I was trying to fix it and somehow it got deleted
Lovely graphics guys! Anyone have any special plans for today? Think we will just be spontaneous and see what happens!
Crazyma, that was a nice couch and color you posted a pix of...your daughter lucked out. I have never found deals like that at our thrift stores and in pristine condition? I don't know something about wondering where it came from gets me. I think you would have to get first pickings around here when they pick up at the wealthier folks homes Speaking of pick-ups we have a pick-up scheduled from Salvation Army today for some old stuff. I have however enjoyed and had fun finding little treasures at antique stores.
Dogmom, leather is great for dogs like others have said, I have 2 leather couches now that we will put in our basement and they have held up well, but then I have small dogs. Our late Golden ruined an old fabric couch we had as his hair got inbedded in the bottom of it when he would lay against it.
Lacey that was funny about putting your grands magnets back up on the fridge...you go!
Judy, still sending prayers your way and NJ that is very sad about the plane crash ...thoughts are with you!
Take care everyone!

Lorrie.........Happy Birthday!
Dogmom..........Hope you are feeling better soon!
Crazyma.........I PM'ed you.
Everybody.....Happy Valentine's Day!
Texas.......Hope your surgery goes well and you feel better soon.
To everybody I missed.......{{{Hugs}}}
I've been pretty much in a super deep funk for awhile, which is why I haven't posted. I'm too much of a downer to subject you guys to it. Absolutely nothing on the house, and with the change in the "stimulus" I don't see that changing. In our area, our house is an "upgrade" house and not for for first timers. At least DD will be able to take advantage since she hasn't signed yet for hers. I can't wait until she gets it and moves in because then she wants me to come up for a week or so to help her decorate. I really miss her.
Of course being by myself on Valentine's Day doesn't help. I was kind of hoping that maybe DH would surprise me by coming down, but financially things have just really gotten too tight for him to spend the money on gas since the only thing he has to drive is our diesel pickup truck. He did send me a bouquet of flowers and a card, but I'll just have to watch chick flicks and eat popcorn today, I guess. I do really miss him as well.
Haven't even had a bite on a job, either. Which of course isn't helping the financial situation. I'm going to try and apply for a pharm tech position at the new Walgreen's opening across the road, but it's still being built so not even sure when it opens. I am actually a bit ambiguous about getting a job right now because of wanting to go and spend with time with DD and also since she will be walking for her master's the end of May from Cornell, I want to be able to go to that as well. So maybe a job isn't the best thing right at this time......kind of ironic, though isn't it.
Back to hiding for me. I haven't gotten lunch yet and my tummy is letting me know about it. I have gotten involved with the community scrapbooking/cardmaking club and they roped me into making the first presentation to the club since I have taught both scrapbooking and rubber stamping. Maybe that will motivate me to get back to my scrapbooking! I am so behind it is ridiculous. Everybody take care and be safe!!

Thanks Roth--Not looking forward to the surgery, but if it makes the pain go away then I'm all for it.
I'm still hoping the housing market turns around soon. Maybe if you got a part time job that would allow you to take off to visit your daughter and see her graduate with her masters..
That's great about the scrapbooking club.
My favorite chick flick is Serendipity! Love that movie! Oh and Sleepless In Seattle too!
