MEATLOAF dinner was excellent yesterday!! I have to admit...it was one of the BEST meals I have ever made Easter dinner was nice too..so that makes at least TWO really really good tasting meals to me that I have made recently!! Most times when I cook myself things just don't always taste that great.

It got warm yesterday...well..hot actually. Could not believe it. We watched Shallow Hal last night..it was pretty good and funny. A lot better than I thought it was going to be. Today we will probably watch Harry Potter's Chamber of Secrets and Road to Perdition. I guess this means I get NOT MUCH else done huh? hhah.

Everyone else is still sleeping. LeighAnn actually graduates next Saturday. AMAZING..she will be the FIRST child of Keith's from his prior marriage that actually physically graduated. He has a strange family. Seems none of them are too interested in each other or what the other is doing etc. His sister is having 2 total knee replacement surgeries performed on Monday and she had not even bothered to tell anyone. I only found out because we had invited her to a get together to celebrate LeighAnn graduating and then she told me. I am sure her dad also did not know. His kids are aloof. I don't like how they behave most times. LeighAnn is the only one who seems to care about much of anything. Dale is too wrapped up in his own life and girlfriend. Kelley is pretty busy with her new baby and her life. I don't think they go visiting each other or things like that. Just like with Keith...we only see his sister maybe once per year and his dad a few times per year. Shoot we don't see his kids except for LeighAnn very often. Is odd to me as I did not grow up that way. I worry about Noah. I want him to be around get togethers and stuff more often than he is...but like WITH WHO?????? hahahaa. Oh well. We try to stay pretty busy doing things and going places and that makes up for it a little bit I guess.

Noah has one more week of school and then what. ....Have to think about that.

Watered my flowers outside last night. They sure were thirsty. I would have been too if I had been hanging all day in the sun and heat.

Not sure what I will make for today's dinner. I am thinking fried chicken wings and potato salad. I RARELY make ANYTHING fried. As a matter of fact...except for chicken wings or an occasional hamburger..that is ALL I fry anymore. BUT..that along with baked bean may be good for lunch today. Maybe we can do a picnic. That would be nice too. Keith wants to get some pictures of LeighAnn with her cap and gown. Trying to figure out WHEN we can do that.

OH BROTHER..I STILL need to get my Easter stuff down. Maybe I can do that today while watching a movie. Not much up so it should not take too long to take down and put away.

I ordered some tart burners yesterday and today. They can really smell up a room nice and quicker most times than a candle can. I love my candles but the tart warmers are great too...so I wanted to get some for each season and a couple extra for more rooms. My FAVORITE brand of candles now has to be VILLAGE CANDLES!!! Talk about an amazing smell. WOW..they are the best and burn the nicest.

Just got a email from Angela with a BIRTHDAY list idea on it. Weird. I never asked her for an idea of what she wanted for her birthday. Seems sometimes that is the only time you hear from her these days...when she wants something. I know that sounds terrible...but it seems to be true SOMETIMES anyway. I never heard thanks for the money I gave to Alex for Easter or the little thing I sent to her..not that I expected to.....but I thought she might at least mention it. And then she wonders why no one will send her special things or get her special presents. WHY? She usually does not like what you sent or will take it back if she can. I was planning on only getting her a gift certificate to Pier One Imports this year and a card for her birthday. I guess she wants this cookbook instead. I guess I will get that for her instead.

This weekend is Old Fashioned Days in Arcanum. The Custer Reunion is coming up. Amazing how fast time flies. We will be here 1 year already in another month.

Well.. have more work to do. Better sign off for now.
