Anything But Gray

So today was great, it was warm, sunny and it felt like spring.
Unfortunately SNOW is on the way to ruin everything.
Whatever.
Ten bucks says there is a delay to school tomorrow because there will be a teeny bit of <gasp!> SNOW on the ground. <rolling eyes>
I have seriously been surprised by what they delay/cancel school for, when it comes to snow.
I know, I know…it's to keep the buses off the road in inclement weather…yeah, yeah, yeah…I got it.
The Alaska in me (I can't believe I just typed that…) can't help but want to go to the door and shout out into the neighborhood.."WUSSSIES!!!!!"

LOL

anyway…the day was beautiful and the kids got to play outside all day. I took a nap because I was up at 4am…(I went to bed too early…) and when I woke up  my mom was sitting outside, visiting with Zak and the kids. Nice! So I sat with her and Zak for a bit while the kids played. Jaime and her friend Sabrina wanted to make a lemonade stand, so Zak set them all up. They actually got a couple of customers and it was SO. CUTE. !!! 

While we were sitting outside, my sister and Rick pulled up and my so awesome sister bought me a laundry basket that I have been wanting sooo bad ever since we moved here!! She was gonna buy it for me for Christmas but she couldn't find one and so she must have saw it today and got it for me. I am seriously psyched!! I friggin' love this laundry basket!! (It's the little things, people….) When she pulled it out of her truck, I was like "What? Did you get another one? Why??" and then I realized oh, wait..I bet she got that for me!! So I say.."Wait..is that for me??" And she says yes….I was THRILLED. Like jump up and down happy. Seriously.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU sistah! You rock!

All in all a fantastic day.

The nagging annoyance….
one of my friends is pissed off at me for NO GOOD REASON! And I'm getting really sick of the drama with this friend.
Things change…life changes….things can't be the same as they were 20 years ago…..and for some reason…when *I* do things different, it's this huge problem but not a problem if anyone ELSE does things different.
I don't get it.
I really don't.
And I'm sick of it.
It's a stress I do not friggin'  need.
So I think a talk is in need with me and this friend.
Soon.
Because I'm gonna go crazy if this person keeps getting mad at me for NOTHING.
It's ridiculous.
Seriously.
