My email and Facebook have been hacked. I am not in London.
I have not been mugged at gunpoint and I don't need you to send money.
I am alive and well and on U.S. soil. I have not even ever been to London.
This message is for everyone on my Facebook and contact list that may have gotten an urgent message from me today. I appreciate your concern and calls regarding my welfare. I love you all.
I will get this wrapped up tomorrow and hopefully my world will begin revolving clockwise again.

WINTER REMNANT
I know that, technically, it is Spring.
That being said, Spring has not sprung here.
It was a chilly 43 degrees (which is cold for my neighborhood) this morning when I left for work. Granted it was only 6:45 a.m. but I am certain it got much colder overnight. At least it felt like it when I awakened at 3:40 a.m. and buried myself deep under our warm comforter.
On top of those cold-for-our-city temperatures, another Winter storm (yeah, you read that right, Winter) is gonna be here by later today.
Cold, rainy and wet. Again.
To look outside at this very moment, you would never believe it. Not a cloud in the blue sky. Some haze. Lots of sunshine. No clouds.
Our chipper morning weather girl assures me that the clouds will be moving in by noon and by 5 pm we will be getting rain. Serious rain.
I am so thankful that I have a covered parking garage here at work, because I have come to work unprepared.
No jacket.
No umbrella.
No galoshes...I don't actually own a pair of galoshes. But you get the idea. I am completely unprepared for rain today. Of any kind.
However, my trusty Jeep shall carry me over hill and dale, through the muckety-muck and puddles safely home. She is prepared for the weather.
Thank goodness one of us is.

IT'S WHAT'S FOR LUNCH
I thought I would share a photo of the healthy lunch I enjoyed on Saturday.
Two sliced Roma tomatoes, 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese and 1/2 bunch of steamed asparagus. It was delicious and helped fuel my organizational endeavors.

GET ORGANIZED
This weekend has been one of organization (and cleaning) for us.
We grocery shopped and cleaned house. While we were out we stopped at Walmart to get an assortment of plastic tubs to put to good use in our hall cupboard to organize and hold extra toiletries, first aid supplies, cold remedies, pain relievers and other miscellaneous over the counter medications.
I also went through our spices cupboard and organized them as well. Now we can find the herbs and spices we need for recipes much easier. Of course, now I would like to continue this organizational spree with our pantry, but it is an odd layout and there may not be much I can do to organize it. I did use two of the leftover baskets for my teas and coffees.
I did some re-arranging in our "family room". We had set up the crate in that room for Kona and placed one of her comfy dog beds in there and have been keeping her in that room during the day to limit her activity and give her knees a chance to mend.
Today, I moved things around so the crate is tucked into a corner out of the way and we can gate off a smaller area for her in that room when the kids and grand-babies come to visit.
Spring is here, but you'd never guess it from our weather. It is cold, blustery and wet here in sunny San Diego.
Does it feel like Spring in your neck of the woods?

SO SWEET
The following photos of our grandbabies are oh, so sweet, but I promise you that they won't add any calories to your daily total.
Grace is such a good helper. No more spilled milk on the floor, Mama!

Aaron is already 5 months old! Where has the time gone? His mama says he has some very blond hair coming in. I love his adorable smile and dimples.
Little dog whisperer, Grace at the dog park with her doggies -- and two handfuls of rocks she collected. Every girl needs a rock collection...
Aaron is snuggled in the jogging stroller for the occasion. I bet he can't wait to get out there with his sister and run around!
Wishing you all a blessed week!
