Yum , can I have your recipe, I'll make some for Easter breakfast at church. I'm already scheduled for a quiche.

Sorry Pat, I actually missed the waitressing route. I did go to the AW to eat but not to work. It used to be a busy place.
Multitasking...sometimes...not lately!
Karen, hope your weather warms up...we are rainy, I think you sent that this way. It rained so hard tonight before supper...huge huge puddles outback..good thing we have the drainage in the basement! Have fun with your sister. I am sure you will find something fun to do together!
I have school tomorrow...sigh...we are having a staff breakfast before school, so I had Neil help me mix up some HashBrown Casserole...everybody likes it and wants me to make it everytime....so, I'll bake that in the morning and it'll be hot for the breakfast.
Wishing everyone a fun weekend!

I am definitely not a multitasker. I can't even concentrate on my exercises at Curves if someone talks to me. And everyone knows not to talk to me in the kitchen. Either I'm talking or I'm doing something else, not both at once.

Oddly enough I have always enjoyed waitressing. don't ask me why, and I think I was good at it and could be again. However, the new restaurant opening is delayed so I don't think I'll be taking a job if offered since my availability in the summer is so sketchy. I'm bummed.

I remember our A&W days fondly don't you Lori and Karen and Karen. Kathi did you work their too my memory isn't real clear on that. We ate so much stuff free whether we were supposed to or not! I didn't like it when it was raining though. they had these ugly, heavy brown coats for us to wear. I even met some guys while I was working that I dated. Just another car-hop tart!

Today was terrific here. After class I stop and applied for a waitress job on the way home and then at the superintendents office for substituting. The afternoon was warm and I raked in the garden freeing up some iris. Then I enjoyed a cold HIPA in the sun. Now we're going to have a burger and rice for supper. A quiet evening home.

Pretty funny Lori!!! April Fool's Day entertainment...kids didn't know the difference between fooling someone and scaring them...
I made a mushroom, onion and rice soup tonight for dinner...it was pretty tasty. Of course, I took dinner over to my neighbor...(along with some leftovers)...now I am wanting chocolate pudding....which I won't make.
Nothing much new here....it was damp, raw and rainy here today...but temps tomorrow are suppose to be close to 60. That is what we are waiting for!!
Hope all is well with my friends...

Hi you guys. I'm mad at all of you...........April Fool's! (Okay, okay, I know that's pretty lame, but I couldn't think of anything better.)

Kathi, you are definitely very nice, but I can also definitely understand how tiring that can be! That lady is lucky she has you for a neighbor. I have a 97-year-old neighbor, but her unmarried sixty-something-year old son lives with her and takes care of her. Doesn't seem like he has much of a life. I feel guilty most of the time that I barely go over to see her--though I've written a few poems about her! (Does that count for anything?!). Last time I saw her, it didn't seem like she really knew who I was anyway.

Patti, I don't know if the readjusting gets easier because I fly a lot. It just seems that when I'm away for a shorter time, it's easier to get back into things here.

My gosh Kathi, after all that she was released. I can well imagine her daughter was mad. They're going to have to figure out something other than having you watch out for her. That's quite a responsibility. I know it's not in you to just let her monitor herself. Her family really needs to step it up here.

Do you ever get tired of being "nice"???? Its not that I don't want to be nice but it can get to be exhausting. We are having all these budget issues like I've told you...and some want to talk all the time to be about it....with me....Saturday, my elderly neighbor, whom I adore...came over while I was outside reading in the sun, chatted for a while and then walked back to her house. I watched her get there safely..and a few minutes later she is on her steps ringing this bell on the side of her door and waving...so I go over, and she is in the middle of a stroke. I get her to the hospital, call her daughter who lives 2 hours away....wait there at the hospital with her until she comes...a little traumatic for us both...yesterday, I go and visit with her at the hospital for a couple of hours...today, I come home for a few minutes before going up to visit her, call her hospital room to see if she needs anything brought up only to find out they released her a couple of hours before..so I call her at home...she is out feeding the birds...sigh...so I go over and make her go into the house...make her supper and call her daughter who had no idea that they had released her....she had talked to her twice during the day and nothing was said to the daughter about releasing her...so she is upset...and I feel like I have to check on her until they figure out the arrangements of care for her. She seems to think its fine to stay alone....luckily, it is only her speech that has been effected....I am sure she will be fine, I just don't want that responsibility of making sure she is. Anyways, I guess I will still be nice....We had talked about her helping me clean because I couldn't scrub things..to which she had responded no, I don't think so....so I told her...next time, she didn't have to be so dramatic and just say no!

The sky is bright and I'm seeing more and more of peoples yards now. I'm looking forward to seeing what might be growing in the raised beds here. I've seen signs of Iris I believe.

Lori are you feeling like you're back to your CA routine again? Since you make the trip so often is is more difficult or does it get easier to just get back to the day to day?

I'm off to a birthday party cookout today and then knitting in Orono at Fiberphilia.

beautiful spring rain today
