One of life’s little indulgences that I had to give up when I stopped working was fresh cut flowers.  I also quit crack and shoes but not books.  OK, so I wasn’t smoking crack (I don’t even know, is that what one does with crack?  smoke it?) but there are things I stopped spending money on.  The cleaning service I did not give up, however.  Now who’s smoking crack?  (That entire paragraph reads like I’m smoking something.)

Point: I received some beautiful flowers for Mother’s Day.  I love flowers.  Sadly for me, I’ve left town again and had to leave my beautiful flowers behind.

Not surprisingly, I spent a lot of time on the Internet.  I came across a couple of things that I wanted to share:

  • This birth story is beautiful.  It will make you SOB.  It’s kind of long but the pictures are beautiful and this mom writes with a brutal honesty that not many people are comfortable with.  If you read nothing else today, read this.
  • I hate my house and it’s style.  OK, that’s not true but I covet a house like this.  I would not-quite-KILL to have a house that’s this neat, clean, has such wonderful lines and I get to build myself.  Oh, and I think she’s in Australia.  That sounds just lovely.
  • I’m hoping the Valentine’s fairy (pretty sure there is no such thing) brings me one of these.

I’ve actually applied for a couple of jobs this week, part time jobs, and have an interview next week for one.  I’m mostly looking for something I can do from home to help supplement the family income when my unemployment runs out.  Keep your fingers crossed!!

It’s actually supposed to snow this morning, 2-6 inches, depending on what nexs channel you watch.  I spent my Thursday evening at Home Depot, Costco, Lowes and Publix.  Costco had a fraction of the things that I went there for and many things that I didn’t go there for.  We’re ready for snowmageddon-Atlanta style.  Bring it on!
