Key West

Travis, Devin , Walter, Randolph and maybe my littlest brother Isaac (if I can tear him away from his friends for a week) are going to Key West in less than 2 weeks! I’m off from April 3-13 and we are loading up the Land Rover and starting our drive down on the late afternoon of April 2nd. Roggy’s and Surf Boards and pool supplies and bikinis and sunscreen!

More on the trip to come. Check out the Spanish Villa we rented under my links.

20% off

I got a bonus recently and held on to that but when I got my tax return a week later I decided that Lissa needed some clothes. Well, I got a JCrew catalogue in the mail Tuesday and I was pouring over it and dog-earing pages etc and felt inspired to order some stuff. I called the local store and they said I could return anything I wasn’t satisfied with or that didn’t fit. Homework done. Yesterday I put the order in while I was at work not realizing that a coupon for 20% off my entire order was sitting in the inbox of the email I can’t check at work (ahem…gmail). So I called the toll free number and a very friendly customer service agent hooked me up by putting through a credit to go back to my card for the aforementioned 20%! “Very cool” I told her, and “Happy Friday”!!!

Doodles and Chicken

I left a picked over rotisserie chicken on the stove last night. It was covered in the plastic container that I brought it home in but that was no match for Walter and Randolph. We woke up this morning to shreds of plastic everywhere…but no chicken or bones in site…apparently devoured by 2 hungry doodles! Note to self…

SNOW!!

Yesterday afternoon when we went out to Guitar Center started snowing….and snowing …and snowing….throughout the night we got 7-8 inches which is unheard of around Richmond! We went for a walk last night around 8pm while it was snowing heavily and none of teh roads had been touched and no one was out driving around. It was beautiful! I’ll post some pictures soon. Devin was out of school today and got to go to sledding at Forest Hill Park with Travis and Colin and our dogs while I worked all day. All day…14 hours…but it was a successful day and the time went by fast.

The first rompy post

It’s Sunday. I’m cleaning and blogging and drinking a bloody mary and going out to try to pick up a new keyboard that I want to learn how to play. More to come…
