Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 52 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 75 and sunny for the day. Then rain again tonight. Then a warm up durin’ the week. Sounds li ke we might get normal May weather before the week is out. YAY!!! **gt** I wonder if **flytrap** is thrilled to know a long lost relative has been found. 😃 **Nettie** the cake is really good. Here’s a link to [The Pioneer Woman’s](http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/01/pig-cake/) recipe. She makes it as a sheet cake which I usually do but it can be a layer cake like I did yestiddy for some reason. What I do know is I have never had leftover cake. Most of it gets inhaled and what’s left goes home with guests for later. Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, purtification for deheathenization must commence. Today is brunch Sunday but we’re not stayin’ for brunch. We have been invitated to go have bbq at Sunny’s and one cannot turn that down can one **MOOOOOOM**! Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

Free movies, although donations are gratefully accepted. We could watch movies, go see the rainbow house across from the Westboro Baptist church, and have a picnic! Remind me and I will totally camp out. I love me some city-destroying Japanese monsters. We can sing the [Gamera Song!](http://youtu.be/FGRHqvC7f_o) It is pouring down rain today. Looks like a good day to stay in the house and tear things into 1/2" strips. I want to shred some newspaper for a worm bin that I need to get started and some plastic bags for a [shopping bag made of plastic bags](http://ryl.livejournal.com/844513.html). ---

I’m the type of contrarian who thinks you should plant the last one so it leans to the right. 😃 two-wheel time done, next big decision - what’s for lunch? Then food & other assorted items shopping & a run. ---

This was an expensive morning. Getting rid of trash and recycling was cheap, but Lowe’s got us for 16 ea 1X4X8’ pressure treated boards, 12 bags of mulch, and a bag of weed and feed. Tractor Supply got us for a yard wagon - much assembly required… I’ve mowed the front grass and put down the weed-n-feed. Shortly, I’m going to plant - gotta change my shoes first, tho. Can’t be getting my good sneakers muddy. 😃 Once my planting is done, I’ll mow the back yard. With all the rain in the forecast, I can’t put it off unless I get a herd of goats. \*\*Spidey \*\*- the bleeding heart is already leaning - its direction is entirely dependent upon where \*you \*stand. 😛 I’m taking a few more minutes, then back to work. ---

Howdy all and happy Sunday Sorry I have been a bad Mumper but it has been a stressful week and I tend to internalize. I have been lurking and keeping up though. Irk has been irksome and I have been blurfy Good news I shall share 1 The twin Nephews were christened yesterday, so Peyton and Sebastian are now good little Catholic boys. I was unable to attend because of irk but it all turned out well because 2 I have a date. Tonight I have a date, met her at irk last night. Last night was a circle around each other flirtfest. She has never ridden on a motorcycle and I will pick her up on it this evening. She is brave and good looking. Wish me luck.
