An American Girl
Cudo's to Sophia Coppola! I believe she is only 32 years old and already an Academy Award, Wow! And, the first American girl to be nominated as best director. Very cool. Now I want to rent some movies. And, I have to admit that last night was the VERY first time I have EVER sat through the ENTIRE Academy Awards. I didn't even fall asleep, and that is saying something.
Spring Fever hit this past week with all the "warm" weather here in Kentucky. Yesterday we planned to clean up the backyard some, so we invited our Community over to help and then have some dinner. Before they got here I cleaned up the flower bed on the side of the house and I am excited that the spring bulbs are already coming up. Debi and Matt weren't previously engaged so they came over to help. Alan fired up the grill and we had baked potatoes, grilled onions, sauted green beans and some good steak. With a couple of Killian's and several glasses of wine to complement the meal, we were set. It is wonderful to have friends to help with unpleasant tasks and a wonderful husband who cooks better than I do. My thanks goes out to them all. And I really hope they aren't as sore as I am.
We should be getting our tax return money back soon. Wanna know what we are going to do with it? I am sure you are thinking something responsible like paying off some debt or something like that, but no, we are going to put some hard wood and tile flooring in. I am so excited that I can hardly wait. I hate carpet. I mean I really do. I will be singing and so happy to rip up this crap that is laying on the floor right now. Maybe when I am childless and petless then it might be ok, but I don't want it now. I just can't wait for the money to hit the bank. I might beg Alan to take the day off so we can go shopping for hard wood. I will post some pictures showing our progress.
