Actually I am looking forward to the snow, it will be our first major dump of the winter season here in the Washington D.C. area.  It has been unseasonable warm here as daffodils are in bloom and trees are budding.  The cold blast and snow will ruin the cherry blossoms which is a huge tourist attraction.

This cold weather will give me time to search for new clothes. Good grief, I hate this weight gain [thanks menopause AND caregiving]. And I hate clothes shopping. Hate it with a passion.

Forget catalog shopping as sizes don't match up... there is no more standard for a certain size. Even with dragging out the old tape measure to be sure. I can find a perfect fit in S, M, L.... go figure.

We have snow coming too - 3-5" tomorrow. We haven't had much all winter, so it's about time we got some. We know here in Michigan that March is a fickle thing - we can have 60 degrees one day and 16 the next - and snow. People wonder why we wear shorts the first day it hits 50 degrees - it's because we know it could be sub-zero the next day!!

We are expecting a blizzard in NY. Glad I am off next few days. Be safe everyone.

Thinking about financial planning for the future.....only a few will understand and chuckle....but what if I gave my dH my POA? That would be behaving badly on purpose.

If you don't get it....please, no questions here.

Send,
That would be behaving VERY badly!

Yes, Luckylu.
I may have a bit of a self-destructive streak going on, a never may care attitude, that only a few will understand. That happens sometimes when I am stretched beyond my capacity.
Thankfully, it passes quickly so I just wait about 3 days, eat chocolate.

However, I'm thinking everyone experiences similar at some time.
One of my favorites was reading: "Turn me over, I'm done!"....

Or the Willie Nelson song: "on the road again, I just can't wait to get back on the road again"....

Or, "just slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan Sam, just get yourself free!" (how about Jacqueline and Samantha?)--they count too, ya know?

Lol.  
Putting on my shorts now, going outside.  Cwillie, did you have something to say?  I don't even own snow boots-what are those anyway-do they come in white with fur?  Go ahead, you can be mean, but only once!

I came home today and saw a half lime on the counter and mom's caregiver told me she saw them in the fridge and decided she wanted to try it as she had never had a kiwi before. She didn't like it.
And this is the woman who is supposed to be responsible for mom while I am gone. lol ;)
(was it bad that I teased her about it?)

Cwillie, Let's kick that behaving badly up a notch for next time....
Do you think saying nothing at all, having her go around thinking she hates Kiwi her whole life would have been badder?

Or, later, offering her a 7-up, would you like some lime with that? Lol.

It may be about time to add to your caregiving team, in case of emergency.
Be sure to have a lot of lime and kiwi on hand, for instructiinal purposes!

Luckylu, What is the number to call so "they" can take me away" Do they wear the white coats, or do I get one too? Then, if everyone is wearing white coats, I can blend in, plan my escape if I change my mind. Lol.

Only "they" get the clean white coats Send and "they" will probably take YOU in your Birthday suit since it's your Birthday month....

How about "Stop the world, I want to get off"

Lucky, Send has a birthday this month? Spill the date please!

Gershun, No one knows the date--I just appeared one day, out of the blue, all of a sudden, a senior. Thinking to celebrate all year since time is getting shorter, losing hours yearly. Moving to Arizona or Hawaii would be nice, where no daylight savings time is required. Already had too too many birthdays, thinking of lying about my age now.

Most women lie about their age early on. I have some catching up to do.

Happy Birthday Year Send! I should have stopped at 50, is it too late to go in reverse?

I read this book once, where the main character, and wife and Mother of teens, left her family. They were on vacation, had rented a cabin in a seaside resort, and everybody was whining, so she got up from her sand chair, took nothing but her beach bag, and walked away down the beach and out of her families life. 

She caught a bus that took her as far as her money in her pocket would take her, and started a whole new life! It was many months if not a year, before they caught up to her, and I can't remember if she went back or not, but the point is that she DID IT!!

Doesn't everybody dream of just doing that at some point in their lives? I know that I have!

I hope it's only your birthday that's bugging you, and not that you are unhappy with your life...to that point anyways! I would just as soon not celebrate birthdays anymore, even though I has a pretty good birthday month, last month!

I hope March came in like a Lamb, and goes out like a Lion for you Sendhelptome!

I Love You girl!

Thank you everyone. Nice to see you on here Stacey. Loving the mom with teens story, but I would be the one staying at the beach resort, sending the teens off to buy chocolate covered bananas for everyone. Teens can also drive...when in Hawaii my son drove us to the end of the island. Right now, a hotel with a jacuzzi would be just great! It is just me and hubs now, entering our too late years. The teen never came back, lol.

We have this chocolate candy bar with a christmas motif on the package. It expires on April 1st, and I just cannot eat it, and just cannot throw it away.
Dh won't be interested in it until it has been expired for 6 months or more.
Then, I will be upset that he is going to eat it, and will throw it away, walking down to the dumpsters so he won't retrieve it from our trash can. This is just a symptom of real issues, building, getting worse when I try to make changes while he tries to keep everything the same.
Ha ha ha, I've got this!

Oh my, chocolate never expires, or almost never. Once my sis tucked away some little foil wrapped christmas bootie ornaments because she thought they were too pretty to eat. Bro and I raided her room several years later and ate them. Mmm really stale chocolate!

luckylu, if that solid black cat is a male, be ready for a lot of activity. He will be a typical boy through and through if he is anything like the one I have. My black cat is 16 going on 2. He never outgrew kittenhood.

Here are just a few things my boy got into.... took my sig other's eyeglasses and burying them in the litter box. If you left out a credit card, he would grab it and put it in his toy box. He would bring his toys and leave them in his dry food. He learned to fly off the upstair's loft down onto the sofa.

All the telephone books had major teeth marks. Teeth marks in the toilet paper, too. He would get under the window blinds to slap at a fly. He found a way to get on the neighbor's roofs to chase crows. And to look in the neighbor's windows. Now the girls were well behaved, most of the time, one of them did push "Charlie" into the swimming pool, probably getting even with him on something :)

Freqfyer...Your black cat is something else!!! What a funny boy! I have no idea what sex any of the kittens are but I have thought that this one was a boy from the beginning.It's the biggest one of the bunch and wants to play with the others or just reach out and claw another one.Iv'e really fallen in love with it,but they're all Sooooo cute!

Dog *never* behaves badly, so he wouldn't qualify anyway (black nose in air).

There is a new thread Veronica and Countrymouse.
It is called Caregiver's Cats behaving badly.

My old neighbors had the cutest black cat...and he never outgrew being a kitten. I loved that little cat. He was always into something. One day I found him sleeping on the top of my convertible...and when he awoke he went to sharpen his claws on the top! I got him off before he could do any damage. That sweet cat is the one thing I miss having moved away.

Iv'e had 2 very special black cats in my life.I grew up with one named "Crazy" and then years ago "Savvy Sue" appeared one day."Crazy" was a boy that darted through the house like crazy and Savvy was a girl who would put on "shows" for us,loving the applause.There's just something very special about black cats and they have a unique personality.If I keep this one though,I think I might have to name it "Monster" because that's what it's acting like.A little "Monster"!
