Wow, I think I might actually get this journal posted before I run out of daylight! I'm so impressed with myself...

I received another gorgeous gift! This is from Dana aka

It's absolutely beautiful and I'm so touched that Dana dedicated it to me. Thank you so very much, Dana - I love it!

And I'd like to take a moment just to say thank you to ALL of YOU!! For the friendship, the laughter, the willingness to listen and offer support, well - just for being the wonderful people that you are. I luffs you all to pieces!!

Hmm, what else? Oh, I went shopping on Saturday with a bday gift certificate in hand and I scored over $200 worth of clothes for only $50!! A pair of dress pants, two skirts, a blouse, and a sweater are now happily residing in my closet. I LOVE bargains especially since I have the lamentable habit of choosing the most expensive item no matter what I'm looking at (before I've seen the price tag, I mean).

Spring is almost sprung!! We've had lovely weather the last few days and it's supposed to stay that way all week. The snow in the backyard is almost gone although the front yard still looks like it's in the Arctic (probably because there are two huge evergreens that block some of the sun). But I finally believe that Spring is here and my flowers won't be far behind!


There a quite a few new contest additions so go forth and win prizes!

And now without further ado here's my picks for the Monday Haha.
