Bad me for taking so long between posts. It's Victoria Day weekend and its cloudy and looks like we're in for a second day of rain. At least its not like the monsoons from Saturday and we did get a couple hours of sun in the late afternoon yesterday.

Denny and Darrell and Mac are camping this weekend - Itasca- so I'm in charge of feeding the kitties and fish. Almost forgot the fish yesterday, had to go back in and give them some flakes - oops!

TOM WESTMAN won Survivor Palau! YAY! I had an ear-to-ear grin through the whole episode! Now too bad he can't come back every season! YAY TOM!!! Check out his website at www.tom108.com

Afleet Alex won the Preakness, MarkMark won the All Star race and Junior still sucks. But last week more Keith Urban concerts were announced and he's playing Alerus Center in Grand Forks at the end of September - whooo hoooo. Managed to snag a couple tickets - YAY! Can't wait to see him in concert again. (Twice in 6 mos, who woulda believed it!!!!)

Picked up a British cross stitch magazine yesterday to get a free insert. Its called The Secret Garden by designer Margaret Sherry. Adorable little gardening critters. Think that's the stitching project I'll do next. Now I just have to see if I have all the DMC for it.

What a weird night and day! Got up at 5:30 when the dog wanted out - several times. Finally got him settled down after drying him off cause it was pouring out then went back to sleep. Must have been tired because I work up when the phone rang at.........12:45 pm!!!!!!!!!! Yikes, so much for getting everything done this morning, LOL.

Went to Wal-Mart and Safeway, put all the groceries away then took the garbage out - and just now realized I must have thrown out the Rolaids I bought - hmm, there's $1.19 down the drain.

Apparently it poured all morning - lol - I missed it but there are puddles everywhere. Its still pretty dreary out but it was sunny for a little while this aft.

Darlington race tonight - and Giacomo won the Kentucky Derby. 50-1 longshot. He paid the second biggest payout in Derby betting history.

Okay so the snow's finally disappeared and we're actually having decent temperatures - yay! Maybe spring is finally here. I saw daffodils in one of the neighbors yard's yesterday and that made me smile! Tulip season soon and then lilacs after that! I love spring!

I don't however love work lately. It just seems like everything that can go wrong does go wrong. We're all stressed and tired. Really hope things even out soon, but at least everyone's back full time starting next week. Maybe that will help.

Whew, things looked a little scary for Tom tonight on Survivor. There were a few minutes when I thought he was going to be the one voted off after Ian won immunity. Great story about Tom at msnbc.com. Looks like he really has a lot of fans out there! I think he'd probably give Rupert a run for his money as Fave Survivor.

Got the nifty screen protectors for the Pod in the mail today - thanks Nancy! They are great and I'm really glad I got the new case for it. Since its white, I can change the screen protectors to make it look different. Very cool!

Today is 5-5-05. Won't happen again for another hundred years.

Cleo's got the right idea, she knows how to spend a Sunday morning.

More snow overnight, its covering the grass and doesn't look like it wants to melt any time soon - sigh.... But is the 1st of May, it can't last too long, can it? CAN IT???
