Yes, it is official. Today marks the beginning of Spring.
So what is wrong with this picture????????

Noooooooo.........
Those are not white flowers in the picture. It is SNOW.

Oh well, no big deal its actually kinda pretty - Mainly because you know it's not going to stick.


Happy Spring everyone..........


HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY







HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY
TO ALL MY PEEPS......






Nope - No shamrocks, no leprechauns, no pot of gold. Dont have any corned beef or cabbage.

I came close several times to buying some and cooking it for dinner tonight but then I remembered that Bob said he definitely does NOT like it and I am pretty sure that Bobby would turn his nose up at it too so I would be the only one eating it for dinner AND for leftovers or just throwing it out..... Sigh......


So other than wearing a green shirt today and getting some green Peeps I guess I'm not very Irish today but it was a GORGEOUS day anyway. I had the day off, I got some errands done, I had lunch with Laura and the SUN WAS SHINING ALL DAY LONG........
Ah yes....... SPRING IS DEFINITELY ON IT'S WAY.............

Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling

Bob has been a big fan of Jackie Martling for years and many moons ago I used to like listening to him with Howard Stern.
The other day Bob saw that Jackie would be in Danbury doing a fund raiser so we called number after number after number and finally got details about the show.

We got there early thinking there would be a HUGE crowd (cause hey - It's Jackie.....) but we were very surprised to see that it was a small turnout (obviously due to horrible advertising).

Actually the fact that it was a small crowd probably made the show more fun because we sat right in the front row, we got to meet Jackie after the show and Bob won a T-shirt by "Stumping the Jokeman". The joke he told is not one of my favorites but since Jackie did not know it, Bob won and it definitely made his day.
Afterwards we went out for drinks and a bite to eat at a local place that we have never been to.
It was fun - We met good people - the food was awesome - the drinks hit the spot.


Definitely a great night..........

I LOVE JIM KERR........... Q104.3 FM


So yesterday morning I'm listening to the radio on my crappy little clock radio. I seriously need to invest in a new radio because this one has a hard time picking up most stations. I usually listen to Classic Rock in the mornings to start my day - Led Zep, The Beatles, The Stones, The Doors, Skynyrd, etc.

Yesterday my crappy little radio was tuned to KTU Radio. Mind you, I do like KTU. Ofcourse I do. A few years ago my son won a PSP on KTU for telling a joke. My fiance won a couple of things for us like tickets to see Gumba Johnny and Speedy doing comedy, tickets to see Fiddler On the Roof on Broadway, tickets to see Mama Mia on Broadway. Hey - My friend won $103,000 plus a trip to Rome.......... So yeah, I like KTU but I also love my Classic Rock and I love to listen to Jim Kerr and Shelli Sonstein in the mornings because they have me cracking up with their humor. THEY are my idea of true classics because no matter how many years may go by, they will still be worth listening to (as well as some of the other DJ's on this station).


So anyway........

Yesterday I'm listening to KTU and who comes on the radio???????????
JIM KERR........ (Both stations are in the same building and Jim had ran down to KTU)

Now you know my little warped mind right???? My mind starts making up little jokes about how Jim probably knew that I was listening to another station and got mad so he had to go on the other station to let me know that he caught me. (Dont worry - I'm nuts enough to make up little stories in my little brain to get me through the day but it's not like I actually believe them).

After Jim finished on KTU he quickly ran back upstairs to Q104.3 to do his show and I quickly turned the dial on my crappy little radio to the Q.........

So I decided to send an E-mail to Jim telling him that I am sorry he caught me with another man. I am sorry he caught me listening to another channel. I promissed him I would go back to Q104.3 for my morning music and comedy and I asked him if he would please play a song for me.


Sure enough - This morning at 6:30 a.m. Jim was playing Lynyrd Skynyrds' "What's Your Name" and he said "I KNOW YOUR NAME MARIA YARASAVICH.............." and he played Billy Idol's "White Wedding".........


I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY...........

Jim Kerr knows my name (and he even pronounced it right which is a miracle in itself..... LOL)



Okay - What can I tell you.

Things like this make my day.

THANK YOU JIM!!!!!!!!!



p.s.............
UPDATE ON JIM KERR:
He added me as one of his "Friends" on Facebook...

IN LIKE A LION

What a COLD and snowy day. I guess that little groundhog in Pennsylvania was right - We have to deal with a lot more winter before we get to spring.
I'm not sure how many inches our town got but some parts of Long Island got 13 inches and Central Park got about 8. What ever we got, it sure did make the day miserable.

Wait..... Actually it really wasn't that miserable:
Bob is happy because he is putting in tons of overtime plowing snow.
Bobby was happy because there was no school (although he was not thrilled when I told him to go shovel the sidewalk)
I was happy because the office was closed AND I have tomorrow off so I end up with a four day weekend.

What did I do on my day off????????
Well, I wish I could tell you about all sorts of productive things I did but I guess I would be lying to you.
I spent most of the day on the computer blog hopping.
All is not lost - I found tons of new sites that are definitely worth following.

So - As promised - Here are a few pictures.
They are nothing special - I barely stepped out of the house (I guess I'm not exactly a very dedicated photographer).
Neither Bobby or Muffin were thrilled about posing for me.



The lawn stuff left out from last year did not have a chance to resist - They cant run from my camera - On the other hand they also are not much for posing and saying "cheese"........






They say March comes in like a Lion and leaves like a Lamb.
Let's hope this was the end of the big snows......
I'm ready for sunshine & blue skies and definitely ready for the blooms of the garden.........

Happy March........

Happy March.
Had a pretty good day today.
Went to see Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail.

The fact that it is a funny movie was just part of it.

The best part of it was that I got to see it with my oldest friend Lori, her two sons, my son and my fiance. Lori and I have been friends since the third grade - I wont even tell you how long that has been but it's been a loooooooooong time.
I could get into more about why seeing this movie together was special for us but I wont bore you with that (cause you know me - It would be a loooooooooooooong story).



Anywhooooooooooooo

So today is March 1st.

Look at the pretty flower that is already growing in my front yard. It's a "Snow Drop" flower. It's been out for a while now. It's always the first flower in the garden.

Well........

I thought I'd better take a picture before THE BIG SNOW!!!!!!!!!

We are expecting about 10 inches of REAL SNOW tonight.

I'll have to take picture of that tomorrow.

For now - Enjoy my little snow flower.
