We had our Passover Seder Dinner tonight instead of last night thanks to me being calendar challenged. It was a blast! We had 15 folks for the meal... and no one had to be sacrificed.
Seriously, these cookies aren't for Passover. They are merely my contribution to the Relay for Life bake sale at my school tomorrow. For fifty cents, I'll send you two. 
Waiting on all the colleges to send acceptance letters and/or emails is stressful. Today, my son found out that he got accepted to Emory University (yay because they have a 24% acceptance rate!). Now we are waiting to hear from the other six schools. 
Went downtown to eat a burger at one of the local pubs and realized there was a fantastic piece of history on the building across from where we were sitting on the terrace. I wish I could have seen what my town looked like back in the day when people traveled in buggies and wagons (and what is the difference between a buggie and a wagon?).
Tonight was senior night for my youngest son's marching and jazz band. He received an award for his trumpet playing and the Director's award. I am so proud! This marching band has almost 100 seniors graduating in May ~ so, he was picked from many.

Since we spent the weekend at St. Augustine Beach, we thought we'd have a day in the sun today. The weather gods disagreed with that plan and sent rain. We went shopping (yay) instead.
Tonight, we had our annual talent show at school. The kids were so stinking cute (too bad I can't show them here because you would think they were cute, too). It is one of my favorite nights of the year because I love getting to see the kids show off their talent. It was a long, tiring day but I have a big smile on my heart.
Today, my husband cleaned out his mother's room at the assisted living facility. We moved in the dresser, a few chairs and some pictures. As a result, Miss Poopy flipped out for a few moments. 
After attending the most stressful funeral of my life, I decided to take a picture in honor of my husband's brother. No one holds a candle to him.
After a week of hacking and coughing (and sounding much like a 2 pack a day smoker), I finally got out for a run. It felt awesome!
My mother-in-law died early this morning. Her health and mind had deteriorated so much that this is really a blessing. Still, I'll miss her.
I stayed in my pajamas all day today. Finally, the cough from the bronchitis is getting better and I no longer feel like falling on a sharp sword. Guess a day of rest can make a difference.
As said by the great Ralph Waldo Emerson. The rain made a lovely blanket of petals on the ground.
I love spring! The Japanese Plum tree is blooming. Have I said how much I really, really love spring?
My blush didn't survive the trip this past weekend. Somehow, it seemed like poetic justice.
Yesterday, when I woke up, I *felt* like I was fighting something but I convinced myself to ignore that rattle in the chest feeling creeping up on me. This morning, it hit me fairly hard. As soon as we rolled into town, I went to the doctor - even before picking up The Supreme Leader from the vet. He gave me a steroid shot and four different prescriptions. The culprit? My husband shared his bronchitis.
The Princess Half Marathon in Disney World was an amazing experience! I'm totally ready to sign up to do the same thing next year (and now I know I HAVE to practice more on hills).
Saturday, we spend the day with my parents at Animal Kingdom. This picture was taken at the end of the Nemo show (it was awesome!) as the bubbles fell from the ceiling.
We made it to Disney World today. Despite the cold-ish weather, there are fabulous flowers all over the place. I got to meet Krystyn (who blogs at Someday I'll Get There) and her adorable son as we headed over to the Expo to get our bib and running swag.
Tonight, Ray (my little buddy) and his daddy brought this homemade card (thanks Kippy! I want to be as creative as you one day!) to me for encouragement before the half marathon. I have some of the sweetest friends! Not to mention the perfect timing as I was pondering what to do for the shot of the day.
Lately, we've declared many nights a "fend for yourself" night 
Daffodils have been popping up in some of the fields outside of town. Daffodils just make me smile because their arrival means spring is almost here. That and the word daffodil is just darn funny.
On my way home, I saw these chickens pecking away in the yard. I don't live in the country, so I imagine these chickens got loose from a backyard cage.
