Random Five

Hey, I made it! I'm sorry for the lack of posts but my computer is sooooooo sloowwwwww. It's about 6 years old so I know in laptop years it a senior citizen. Some days it's fine, most days not, so I find myself doing just the necessary things. And unfortunately paying bills & answering emails comes before blogging! 

Anyhoo, here are my five tidbits for this week:

1: Needless to say, we are ALL ready for spring. Tomorrow is March 1st & we are still experiencing sub-zero temperatures & lots of snow. More to come this weekend. I've posted so many photos of snow - so this time I'm posting something different, more cheerful.

This was the view from my bedroom window the other night. I didn't do a very good job of capturing the beauty that was this sunset, but it was setting FAST so I just click click clicked & hoped for the best :)

2: Chocolate Covered Strawberry Frappe from McDonald's. Nuff said!



3: I came across this channel on YouTube the other day: 

2Cellos

Pick a song, any of their songs. They are phenomonal. I love them all. I think this one is my favorite. 

My Favorite

Someone said they had performed on Glee. In fact, on the only episode I've ever watched - the Michael Jackson tribute episode. But I don't remember the cellos. Guess I'll have to search for it & watch it again.

4: My fur-baby Elwood, enjoying the sun. He's still as sweet as the day we brought him home. He's 18 1/2, but he doesn't look a day over 18 :)

5: We signed up for Netflix last weekend. I had no idea it was so cheap! A lot of people complain that they aren't "current" but I'm so behind on tv shows & movies I'm good with it. I just watched the first episode of Breaking Bad. I hear once you start watching ..... there's no going back & you will use every free minute to watch. We'll see, I don't have a ton of free time plus I'm pretty sure I have adult ADD so I'm not sure how well I'll do with it!

More snow pictures

Because you can never have enough, right? Well no .... that's not right. I definitely have enough snow pictures & I've definitely had enough of winter. But ... there's not much else to take pictures of these days LOL. No pretty flowers .... no pretty birds (except for the male cardinal who will NOT stay still for me. How rude) .... no baseball for the boys .... just ..... white .... a lot of white ....

I actually like winter. No, really - I do! But ... not this winter. I am done & ready for warm weather. The snow is beautiful but after 3 months of it I want to see some GREEN. 

No, not brown -- GREEN. 

I know I shouldn't complain. This winter has sucked for everyone but Florida. The northeast has gotten more snow than the midwest, the west can't get any precipitation at all & England ....  oooooo poor England. I guess I'm not TOO sad to be where I am. 

This was taken from my kitchen patio door. Gosh I hope that grill still works. LOL

I'm thinking we probably should have put that beautiful verdigris birdbath in the shed last fall .....

I think the only birds using that birdbath are snowbirds. hahahaaaaaa. Hey, I told you it's been a long winter.

Thank goodness for the Olympics. I'm not usually glued to the tv as I am this time around. I think I'm most hooked on the snowboarders. Those people are nuts! 

And American Idol .... I am sooooo glad they have human judges this year. I did not watch last year for the first time ever. Those divas were just too much for me. Loving all three judges this year, they work so well together ..... & I love that it's back to being about the contestants. I really wanted Kaitlyn Jackson to make the cut - she was my favorite audition. But sadly she didn't. I do have my eye on a couple of others. Are you watching? Who are you rooting for? 

Is it spring YET?

I'm pretty sure even the birds are sick of winter.

Random 5 Friday

Yes, it's Saturday. It took me forever to think of 5 things to post this week. Here are my 5 thoughts for today:

Friday Five


That's right, nothing has changed from last week to this week. It's still cold, it's still (or again?) snowing, I'm still behind on laundry & I still feel like crap. 

How's that for a sunny synopsis? 

I've started putting Bailey's in my hot chocolate just to get through these long winter days :)
