Happy Birthday, Mom!

Yes, now it is my mom's birthday. Well, actually Monday was. Yes, I actually mailed her card on time, but with President's Day, it was still late. Pffbt. Some days you can't win for losing, I guess.

I had a doctor appointment today. I've been bad. I gained weight, my blood pressure's up and my blood sugar is up. Is it any wonder I have a terrible craving for a fudge brownie sundae? Pffbt.

We were socked with a minor blizzard two days before Valentine's Day. I only say minor because we only got 17 inches, plus the four foot drifts. People in New York will have no sympathy for us here in Indiana. Still, I'll try to post some pics soon. We don't get many snow days anymore, so in some ways it was kinda fun. One of the newscasters actually said, "It looks like a lot of people's Valentine's Day will be snowed in. I wonder what people will do?" I thought the other newscasters were going to lose it. I guess he'll find out in about 9 months when he's covering the sudden baby boom.

And yes, in case you were wondering, DH and I had a nice V Day. He brought me a pair of roses and a box of candy and we did the going out for dinner thing a few days later when the roads were safer. The actual day was more like Casual Valentine's Day, Pre-Valentine's Day. Nice and relaxing. We don't go all out and since we're both kinda quiet, we try not to get too hung up on things. I mean, this is the guy who's idea of picking me up a little something is to bring me a box of my favorite Pop Tarts. He keeps me sane and grounded. *Sigh*

Let's see - what else has been going on? I gave the dog a bath and haircut, but I'm sure no one is really interested in that. Until I think of something reasonably interesting to add, that's all for now. Pics will be coming soon!

Y'know, I never understood why the baby boom happens either.. I always wondered WHY birth control doesn't work during natural disasters like snow, power outtages, whatever keeps people indoors for days on end. After all, it works the rest of the time, so why not then? It seems to me like you'd get prepared in that way just like you'd get prepared with food, water, batteries, etc.

On the other hand, babies sure are nice!
