The wind, the cold, forget about a museum

It is COLD out, the wind is freezing...it is like a nice breezy March day back in the 'Eburg. So, instead we set up McB's big girl bed, got lucky and sold her crib/mattress in like 10 minutes on facebook, so over craigslist these days, and remembered these totally awesome yoga pants I want from Lucy. They are supposed to help your posture, help your core and in my opinion, better make me look like 10 pounds thinner! See link below:

Catching Everybody Up

So...it seems I have readers and they want updates! Good to know, except I don't have much to tell, although I will share with you my friend, Christine, who owns 'It's a Paper Thing' is now on www.etsy.com and is making these fabulous 'to do' boards you can put in your kitchen to jot things down on, or to remind the dude to do things, etc. Love mine!!! Her website is on my left column.

The snow melted enough this week to see we have lots of bulbs poking thru, can't wait to get out in the garden and start weeding and fertilizing and I am guessing replacing a few rose bushes.

In the next few days McB and I are checking out this exhibit (it's free) at the National Geographic Museum.

Sardine fleet at dawn, Maine, 1951 Photo by Luis Marden Brand-new LED lightboxes around the exterior of the Museum showcase National Geographic’s extraordinary photography from an archive containing more than 11.5 million images. Alexander Graham Bell, National Geographic’s second president, declared the Society should cover “the world and all that is in it.” The Image Collection reflects that mandate, covering every corner of the globe, showcasing cultures and human exploration as well as the Earth’s diversity of wildlife and landscapes. The collection also offers a history of the evolution of photography, ranging from early black-and-white photographs and delicate color Autochromes to cutting-edge digital photography. While many of the images have been seen in National Geographic publications, an equal number are rarely seen or have never been published.
This exhibition is based on the book, National Geographic"

We are all going to see the Terra Cotta Warriors over McB's birthday weekend.

More from Blizzard Central...

After I sent out the email stating that the garbage truck would not be here today, Wednesday, they come cruising through YESTERDAY around 1 PM! How crazy is that? And, how crazy was it to see the 'hood scramble to get their bags of garbage out? It was a funny few minutes, and what a great neighborhood. Lots of folks were out yesterday for a few hours either at 1. the gym, 2. the Food Giant shopping center or 3. the cul de sac helping the bobcat driver and getting the 'hood cleaned up for this current blizzard we are having. Anyhow, I have a few more pictures...enjoy. See you when we all thaw out in like March!

The Historic Snow Storm of 2010 in DC

Snow, and lots of it. Here are a couple of pictures since last night...

This Week

Hi Friends
As many of you know, I was able to attend the annual JAFOWL Luncheon and meet Michelle Obama, it was very exciting and yes, she is beautiful and tall! Such a nice day was had by all. Here are a couple pictures, she laid out the President's plans for support of the Military, great place to do it.
Also this week I have added to the left side bar a running progress of how my dear friend, Jane Rodely, is doing with her fundraising efforts in the UK. She is doing a UK Cancer Research 10K run on May 9. Her brother died of cancer a few years ago and she has worked tirelessly every year to help further the research.

Cool Dog Myles...and the Vikings

So...tough way to wake up this morning, I hear Myles go 'thump' on the ground downstairs. The hardwood floors are tough any morning for him, but today proved to be especially challenging. His back right hip was still asleep and didn't get the message he needed to get up. I lay in bed listening until about 10 minutes later when I hear him struggle again and fall. So I went downstairs and poor Myles was just helpless and getting upset. I tried to get him up on his own but as he got up he just threw up and then fell back down, poor dog. I had to frantically call to Brad to come help (like 4 times, how can you sleep thru that??) anyhown once I had him, and a towel we got Myles up and outside. 30 minutes of cleaning the floors and a little of Myles and all is more or less normal again. He is here next to me in the kitchen on his bed, I am waiting to see how he does standing up again. He made it down the stairs and back; but I really have to acknowledge my baby dog is getting old. He turned 14 last Monday, but it never really seems as though he is that old. He still barks at Jackie every day, and all people bringing packages to our door. He still gets excited at the newspaper and more or less has a good stable appetite. It is hard to have someone in your house getting old, faster than you want, right before your eyes.

As this year goes on, I am sure I will update more about Myles, stand by my faithful followers.

Now...onto the football game today, go Brett Favre and the Vikings...I never thought I would be cheering for them! Although the color of their uniforms are pretty coo.

Brett Favre "Pants on the Ground"

Things I like, Brett Favre winning another game, go Brett and Go Vikings!
