may the fourth be with you ... and the fifth, too

this has been a really, really good weekend... 

i did lots of work outside that did NOT involve a snow shovel except for scooping up leaves and the front porch looks like this now...

no snow ... not even a little bit!!!

and then we ran errands which included... 

 Hallmark to turn in our wish lists

and Noodles - next door to Hallmark - for their famous rice krispie treats cuz i have an aversion to paying $9 for a bowl of noodles 

and Lowes where we spent waaaay too much money on plants because Spring has taken too long to arrive and we needed a fix from the Green Nation 

and Perkins for buy-three-get-three-free muffins

 and Diamond Shamrock for our monthly tank of gas

 and a garden center to look for a planter to replace the one that i broke

 and Wendy's for salads

and then we grilled yes - dianne cooked with fire!!! Auntia's birthday bacon-wrapped filet mignons that have been languishing in the freezer since december just waiting for a warm and sunny day 

and some not-that-great corn on the cob...

we watched Mission Impossible 3 meh while we ate the steaks and corn 

and apple caramel tartlets with vanilla ice cream for dessert...

and then both of us headed into the Magick Shoppe to work on our april blocks for the Old School Saturday Sampler BOM meeting next saturday...

a dandelion log cabin and two not-hot-pink flamingos

which are 

So. Not. Me.

this sampler has made me stretch way, way, way far out of my comfort zone... 

i think i might have pulled some muscles...

anywho... 

this morning Auntia was up-and-at-em really early before me - which almost never happens and we went to see Iron Man Three ... woo hootie hoo!!! 

i love me some Tony Stark smartassedness ... if you go, stay through the credits!!!

and now i'm gonna ignore the housework and laundry and all those dandelions calling my name and go spend the rest of the day in the Magick Shoppe...
