day off!!

Nice weather - but here's a picture from last winter to remind us what's coming in a few months

Today was fairly quiet - I basically took the day off - other than setting up a couple of appointments, I just pretty well relaxed.

We did take the convertible for a quick trip to Home Depot looking for a new ceiling fan for the upstairs hallway. I preferred one style, Rick liked another. After much discussion and looking - (and BTW I really hate that Home Depot puts all their stuff up so freaking high that you have to crane your neck to see anything) anyway - we finally found one that we both liked - it was out of stock!

Still a nice day for a drive - even if all we came home with was cat food. Mind you, we rarely go into a store, that we don't have to buy cat food! The babies sure do eat a LOT!!

And here is a quick story I'd like to share - that once again clearly demonstrates the difference between men and women:

This afternoon I noticed the toaster crumb tray was in desperate need of being emptied out, so I pulled the tray out which made a bigger mess and left a ton of crumbs stuck in the toaster and alllllll over the counter. Rick picked up the toaster, took it outside - emptied in the back yard (the racoons will LOVE him) and then proceeded to finish the job with a couple of shots from the air compressor which did a super job! Crumby dish cloth vs. air compressor....hmmm.....men ARE from Mars..... (his way is better though)
