Friday night and nowhere to go!

It's Friday night and nowhere to go, and actually thrilled about it. Ron and I always go for a few beers on most Friday nights, but he is out of town tonight. He is still in Baltimore, just got done talking to him, they went to a wonderful BBQ restaurant, good food, he's had plenty while he's been gone. I had my usual frozen meal and salad, I don't like to cook when I am home alone, and I really like lean cuisines. Laura was home, so I did offer to grill some chicken, but she was being moody when I said no to her request to go out for supper.
So of course she now has gone somewhere to get fast food instead of eating here. If it does not come in a paper bag, or if it's not served to you by someone other than Mom, it's just no good. I guess she just still has to much money to burn.
So here I sit, just excited that it's the weekend with nothing to do!

Husband left me!

Ron left this morning for Baltimore, MD for a work related conference. He was excited to go, he has never been there before, he will be back on Sunday evening.
You know how much you love someone when they leave for only a few days, and that even before they have left you know how much you are going to miss them. That is how I feel when Ron is gone.
I kept saying to Ron how busy I was going to be while he was gone, I have no idea with what though. I thought maybe I would redecorate our bedroom, and I am going to attempt to paint my first oil painting to hang on the wall at the head of our bed. I don't know if I have an artistic bone in my body, but I just have this urge to find a hobby to do that I could become passionate about, and who knows maybe it will be painting. Both Chris and Laura are very artistic, so lets see if some or any of that comes from me. I will hang this painting no matter what, so hope it looks good, I will know what Ron thinks when he walks into the bedroom on Sunday night when he returns, he is pretty honest with his opinion regardless of my feelings.( Except when it comes to my weight.....smart man!)
Well I better go get busy..........ya never know, this could be the start of something BIG.

Sunny Day in Minnesota

Because it has been such a long dreary winter here in Minnesota, I get so excited when we have a day like today. Now for some of you, a day like day today would not mean much weather wise, but there is not a cloud in the sky and the wind is not howling at 20mph. So even though it's only 45 degrees, it looks like a beautiful day to be outside. And we are expecting a high of 55, I think I will break out the capris (fat girls shorts!) and let the arms get some exposure. I did go to WW this morning and actually lost 2 pounds, now don't give me too much praise for doing this, this is the same 2 pounds I have gained and lost since January. BUT, it's actually a miracle after all the eating I had done over Mothers Day weekend.
Well like I said it's great outside and I am going to get off this damn computer and take a long walk with my hubby!
Have a great day where ever you are.

Is is spring yet?

I can't believe it's May 9th and this morning it was in the 30's, with a high of only 48 degrees expected today. It was the longest winter I can remember and so far this spring, only one day even close to 70 degrees. Oh well, I guess when we finally get one we will really appreciate it.
All the spring activities are happening in town today whether it feels like spring or not. Today is spring fest for all the UND students to celebrate the end of the school year, and its prom tonight for one of the high schools.
Ron is spending the day at the Masonic Temple becoming a Shriner and learning all the secrets of the order. We all know that it's also a good excuse to drink with the brothers a couple of times a month. While he is doing that I am just relaxing and playing on the computer, a lazy day once in awhile is a good thing. I was going to take my Mom for her Mothers Day lunch today, but she was not up to it, so we are going to go Tuesday night instead. I am going to take her to LBistro, it's a Greek eatery, I think she will enjoy it.
Tomorrow on Mom's day, Laura wants to take me to the Chinese restaurant, sounds great! Then I will wait to hear from Christopher to make my day complete.
