Don't you dare say that 4 letter S word! Though snow in May is not unheard of. I remember it snowing at my BFFs rehearsal dinner in May!

Yikes CC, that sprayer incident sounds scary and could have been much worse. Thank goodness for quick reflexes!

I actually like some hot dogs, but those Costco ones... About once a year I end up buying one thinking its going to be yummy and it is not. Slow learner I guess.
Oh no CC, that sprayer incident, not good! Glad your eyes, skin, everything else is okay. Stupid scorpions, I blame them!
And yes, DH actually let me take him to Tommy Bahama and exchange a recently purchased XL linen shirt for a large. Looks great on him!
LOVE THIS!
Greetings all
Another great spring day. I had half a ham sandwich for breakfast and then did my walking. On to the studio after that where I did glazing. Had an impromptu meeting with the gallery finance gurus - our outgoing treasurer and the incoming one. I am the finance "Tonto" as they all want to run everything by me. All good. I will keep doing the tax returns and sales tax and deposits but not being the actual treasurer I don't have to listen to *****ing.
Fun event Liz. Yeah some people will do anything to save a couple of bucks. I used to have wealthy clients who did stuff like that. Makes little sense. Like eating a Costco hot dog because they are cheap. Yeah, but who wants a hot dog?
Last faculty meeting Peps. Congrats. Looking forward to hearing about the new pup. Glad the concert went well and that the parents appreciated.
Well DD good on you for just rolling with the party plans. Let someone else worry about it. One of the great lessons of life - learning to just roll with it (and when to not). Glad you are warm and toasty there.
CC WTF! squirting yourself with scorpion killer??!! Don't do that again. Hope it was not painful. And yeah more trees would be nice. But more trees = more crap in the pool. It's always something.
I keep threatening to do a ricotta bake. Might be tonight.

Graduation this weekend! DD has done so well. And btw, no surprise that your DH was at all those performances years ago. You have a gem.

A little guy! I have to admit that I love them small.
Last school concert with happy participants and last faculty meeting: It is getting real!

Yesterday evening was fun. I went to the neighbor's for ****tails at 5 with two other couples and we ended up all staying until after 10. Very late for me! Haha. It was fun to see their house as I hadn't yet. It's one that's been here longer than most, so the mature landscaping was envy producing. Those of us with houses in the middle of the development really had scraped lots to begin with (this used to be a tree farm). The lots on the outer rim have a lot of natural forest trees and shrubs. It will take a long time for us in the middle to have anywhere near the vegetation they have... So my board buddy and I were sighing as we're both in the middle and he is perpetually in trouble because his solar panels are on the ground and very exposed and he gets complaints they should be hidden by trees. We joke we'll all be long dead before the slow growing trees here hide his panels and my living room tv from prying eyes!
Today I went to Home Depot to buy new hoses to replace my 3 melted ones. I tried to find new hose bib handles to replace mine that have also gotten sticky like the hoses, but they didn't carry the right kind. I came home and looked at the bibs again and found a name on them and was able to find some online to order.
The pool was full of leaves and spent flowers from the big winds we had yesterday. I went to use the pool skimmer bag and it disintegrated when I went to scoop! More sun rot, yay. The upside is I had one in the garage I had bought for the fountains that ended up not being right for those and it fit on the pole. Nice to be able to use something I had rather than buy something new.
My super stupid moment of the day yesterday was I bought some scorpion insecticide that you mix in a sprayer after finding the first one of the season in my house. I put the sprayer together, mixed it up, pumped it to prime it and the nozzle blew out hitting me square in the face with insecticide. I was right by a sink so started washing my face and rinsing my eyes (thank God for a quick startle reflex, I don't think much got in them), then I ran inside for a long, thorough Silkwood-esque shower washing my face, hair, mouth, eyes etc. I don't think there is lasting damage except whatever negative points I've added to my lifetime cancer risk tally sheet. Jeez Louise. I should have tested the sprayer with plain water, worn eye protection, pointed all failure points of the sprayer away from me, etc. etc. Ugh! Dumb!
Aside from nearly blinding myself, that brings you up to date. Hope you all are well!
