~Enuff Is Enuff!!~

Good Morning~
I hope your weekend is going good! My day has started out with  having 28*F out with a windchill making it feel like 15*F... Pretty cold I'd say!! Gosh, I am soooooo ready for this cold weather to be gone, as I can imagine alot of you are too!! I hate to sound like a broken record here, but, enuff is enuff!! I'm very thankful though that the sun is shining so nice when I look out my windows..  As long as we don't get any snow, I'll be able to handle this 'ol cold weather just fine!! This temperature isn't quite as cold as I've read some places are and have been around the US lately though...  I've always wanted to have a fireplace in my livingroom, and especially to have one on days like today!! I can see myself snuggled down in my comfy chair with my book or magazine, and  have a nice and warm crackling fireplace to look at.... Maybe someday I will...

Thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving me such kind comments... I read each one and love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day and great weekend too!!

SEVERE WEATHER HEADING OUR WAY...AGAIN...

Good Morning!
Oh my goodness, the weathermen are calling for severe weather for our state, parts of Texas and Arkansas today! I guess there has been some tornado's that have already gone through our state today... I pray that no one was hurt.. We've had a tad bit of rain at my home this morning, but nothing major. Enough to bring Shelba and Zoe inside.. Needless to say, they are real happy bout that!!

I heard on the news that it could really get bad out around here between 2pm thru 10pm..

I pray that everyone stays safe during these storms...

First Day Of Spring??

Good Morning!
Today is March 20th, 2010, and it is the first day of ~Spring~, or so that's what it says on my calendar, but, definately not outside! Yes, winter is back here in Oklahoma, once again! It is windy, blustery, and snowing out, and it's only 28* degrees! They are saying that it might get as nasty as it was this past Christmastime when we got all that ice & snow! I'm sure not looking forward to getting and having all those cold temperatures and ice & snow again! There were so many accidents and people getting stuck and all! Not a good thing, for sure! They are saying that tomorrow alot of churches around our area will be cancelled because of the snow and ice! I can't wait till I can write about all the nice and HOT weather that we're having instead of all the cold and snowy weather.. Oh well.. we all know that spring and summer weather will be here before we know it! But... Weather like this makes me want spring to really hurry and get here all the more sooner!!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! We are.... so far anyways! My Hubby hasn't got called out on a job yet, and that's always a big plus when the weekends are here!

Last evening, my Hubby and I played our Wii sport games! We had lots of fun, laughs, and pouty lower lip times too! We are so glad that we got a Wii, as it really is alot of fun! Makes us wish that we had got one a whole bunch sooner! We played it for close to 3 hours or so.. Sure does beat us watching TV, and also the fact that we can get alot of good exercise in now too!!

You all take care now, and I hope that the snow doesn't get real bad at your home too.. I've got to keep telling myself that spring is just right around the corner, right up until it actually gets here, which hopefully, won't be too much longer of a wait now for us!!

Here It Is Saturday Already!! Where Has The Week Gone??

Good Morning!
Kinda hard to believe that here it is Saturday once again.. Is it me, or are these days going by pretty fast? Seems like the days go Mon, Friday, Sat, Sun..You'd think for having 7 individual 24hr. days, that they would go by alot slooooower than what they are doing, now wouldn't ya?? Please tell me that it's not just me for whom these fast days are happening to..I just know there has to be others out there who notice this happening to them too.. Come on now, please do share with me...

I see from the news where Arkansas & Tennessee way have also received a lot of snow that came from out our way.. Hopefully, it all will be coming to an end real soon! Now isn't the first day of spring, like,the 20th of March?? There for awhile when we were having our high 60 degree weather here not so very long ago, I thought that surely spring would arrive early, but boy did I ever get fooled when winter came back knocking on my door!!

I pray that everyone stays safe and warm, and careful throughout these winter storms..

Today's just going to be a putter around the house day.. I'm thinking about doing our laundry, and a few other household chores. Sure doesn't sound too exciting does it?? But, I'm so grateful that I still have electricity to be able to do our laundry with, as there are so many out there now whose electricity isn't working because of the snow and ice storms..who would love to be able to just throw in a load of laundry at their house.. So, I am soo very thankful that we still have ours!

My hubby was feeling alot better, then he got up yesterday with drainage in the back of his throat and sounded all stuffed up.. I'm so afraid of this going into his lungs and causing him to have pneumonia.. Seems like every year he comes down with pneumonia.. I did actually talk him into getting the pneumonia shot this year, thank goodness! He's not up yet for me to ask how he's doing.. I'm just going to let him sleep.. Sometimes sleep can help some too.

**I just wanted to sneak in here and say **CONGRATULATIONS KAREN** on winning Dan's first giveaway!!

I hear my laundry machine calling me, so..guess I will go for now. You all take care, please be careful, be safe and stay warm!

Please have my hubby, Dan, in your prayers... Thank you so much.

Have a good & safe weekend...

Winter Storms Heading Our Way...

Good Morning! Gosh, here it is, the sun is shining and the skies are soo blue and pretty, and it's in the low 50's. Not bad start of a day at all. Then tomorrow, we are supposed to have rain around 9am, and then around 2 or 3pm I guess it's suppose to turn to ice, then snow... I am so not looking forward to this ice/snow storm! The news channels has given everybody at least a two day warning to get prepaired for this storm.. I sure hope no body loses their electricity during this storm.. Our actual last really bad, ice storm that I recall was a bad one! It took some time to get all the tree limbs and debris cleared from all the areas that was hit real bad..
Our latest snow/ice storm happened Christmas day and continued for several days after.. but the really big ice storm I'm talking now about happened 9-10 years ago,and I was still working at the time.. One of the lady's I worked with was without her electricity for weeks... a very long time.. I don't know how she did it!! I think her and her husband did end up getting a generator, but, it was quite a while later, as there wasn't any generator's to be had before and when the ice storm actually hit! Every place was sold out of them! Then when they did get some in, there was a real long waiting list for them! I am so glad we have one.. as one just never knows when they'll need to have one for their use..

I don't like for anyone, and especially my family and love one's to have to be out there driving on the streets and highways when weather like this happens. It's just sooo much better to just stay home where one can be safe... I am so very glad that I don't work anymore. That was a long drive for me, and especially in bad weather, and the drive to my workplace was like 25 miles one way.. in which I traveled 4 times a day, which added up to 100 miles per day..as I worked with school bus transportation..

I will keep everyone in my prayers who are in the areas of this storm that is headed our way... It's coming from California, through Arizona, and into Oklahoma ( which they say is the bulls eye of the storm) and then into Arkansas.. It sounds to be pretty nasty of a storm, from what the weathermen are saying.. Everyone be and keep safe and take care..

I'm going to check and make sure I have everything I need before the storm heads my way.. Today's the day to get something if we need to, that's for sure!

Blessings,
