Still snowing? Oh my gosh! Spring is finally here in Michigan. Usually 60-70 degrees, but today it is cloudy with a few spots of showers.
Hooray! We finally had sunshine. My husband came home from watching rugby union sunburnt!
Mod
Last week we had every kind of weather; sleet, hail, rain, storm and a bit of sunshine. Today, it's nice and sunny, and towards the end of the week it promisses to be really warm.
We've had quite a bit of rain, but the temps have been warmer. Today's a good day, sunny without humidity and in the upper 60's
It's been sunny and warm here in Tennessee. We are getting some much needed rain today.
I'm with Leah (literally!). Colorado had several days of heavy, wet snow and rain. I think where she lived got a bit more. Today it's blue skies and warmer temps!
Mod
We got about 8 inches where I am, although other part of the city got more. Now it's all melted and all the windows are open on this warm 55 degree days lol.

Leah wrote: "May 3 (Tuesday): How often do you cook your own food?"Just about every night... Well my husband does LOL! I work, he cooks and looks after the girls.
Almost never. My husband is on the road most weeks and I am alone for meals. Weekends, we go out or he cooks.
Mod
As long as I'm feeling well, I cook dinner. I haven't felt well the last couple weeks so the husband has been in charge mostly.
Leah wrote: "May 3 (Tuesday): How often do you cook your own food?"Same as Tracey, just about every night. My husband cooks on the days I work.
Leah wrote: "May 3 (Tuesday): How often do you cook your own food?"I cook just about every night. Sometimes, when I will not be home in time for dinner, and I tell my children this, their reaction is usually "Surely Dad's not going to cook! Can we get take-out?"
Which I think is strange, because my husband can cook just fine. :-)
My husband and I have switched the roles of "family chef" a few times in our marriage. He primarily cooks on the weekend, and on Sundays, we both make at least one meal to eat during the week when we get home from work.

Don't date anyone in college, just study and enjoy your friends. Also, it would have been nice if I would have studied psychology from the get go, instead of forcing myself to get that degree in Finance. And, don't worry so much about the kids - they will grow up to be fine young men. (I guess I have a lot I would like to have told my younger self.)

Did we have a spring? felt like it went from freezing to 80 and now back to 40

Book Concierge wrote: "May 5 (Thursday) - What "sign of spring" makes you definitely feel that winter is over?"All the robins in the air and the bunnies hopping around.
Leah wrote: "May 6 (Friday): Do you believe in ghosts?"I do
Mod
Instead of robins, I look for Red-winged Blackbirds. When I see my first one, I believe it's spring (even if it snows after that date ... cough, cough)
Mod
Definitely.
Leah wrote: "May 6 (Friday): Do you believe in ghosts?"Maybe not ghosts, but spirits. Is there a distinction? Anyway, my daughter lived in a haunted house in college. It seemed the spirits were children, and they were not malicious. They would open kitchen cabinets or walk up and down the stairs. My DD once was trying to study and "someone" was walking part way up the stairs and back down. She finally yelled, "please stop, I am trying to study!" They did.

We dont eat out very often but lately my husband has been getting home from work before me so he has been doing more of the cooking.

Yes.

Had a nice visit from my oldest son & daughter in law and yesterday had a great breakfast visit with my younger son and in the evening went to see Jay Leno perform at a charity event. Really a perfect Mother's Day weekend.
Mod
I went to my momma's this weekend - we went to a painting class then went back to her place and had spaghetti, wine, Yahtzee playing, talking. I came home tonight to spend time with my own son. It's always a day that weighs heavy on me - makes me miss my first son even more. But overall, it was a great mother's day weekend

Leah wrote: "May 9 (Monday): What was the last movie you watched? Did you like it?"We watched, "Meet the Patels" a documentary on Netflix about an Indian/American man who tries to meet a wife through his family's network & customs. We absolutely loved it and fell in love with the Patel family.

I also wished I had done something different to Finance. My eldest is showing a love of maths and I am thinking uh oh, this is how I started, please don't become an Accountant - do something far more exciting!!!
Leah wrote: "May 9 (Monday): What was the last movie you watched? Did you like it?"The Big Short and I loved it. I saw back in February and haven't seen any movies since!
I recently watched Midnight Cowboy for the first time. I liked it. In the theater I saw The Revenant last and LOVED it, even if Leo didn't look like Leo.
Marti wrote: "I recently watched Midnight Cowboy for the first time. I liked it. In the theater I saw The Revenant last and LOVED it, even if Leo didn't look like Leo."Love Midnight Cowboy. A classic. I'm so old I remember watching it in the theater when it first came out.
A bit of trivia. Believe it or not, Midnight Cowboy was rated R back in the day. Quite tame by today's standards. It is the first R rated movie to win an Oscar.
Leah wrote: "May 9 (Monday): What was the last movie you watched? Did you like it?"I watched most of Iron Man 3 at work over the weekend and enjoyed it.

Leah wrote: "May 11 (Wednesday): What's something you should probably get rid of but just can't get yourself to toss?"I have a whole stack of recipes that I have printed out from different websites that my husband wants me to throw away. I can't because there are many good recipes that I want to try. I do go through it every now and then and make one.

Answering a day late, but glassware and dishes that I rarely use however feel they might come in handy sometime. Also, some of my old books from college that are totally out of date and I probably will never read again. :)

Actually it was rated "X" ! First (and I think only) X-rated movie to ever win an Oscar.
Mod
Clothes that don't fit and will never fit (and even if they do, are hopelessly out of style ...)
