Monday morning

Good morning campers!

I really haven't been online much at all..this flu thing really knocked me off my feet...just left me so tired..I haven't felt like doing much of anything.. I was looking back in my archives and I used to write a lot more in my journal than I do nowadays..last March I did 31 entries this is my 3rd this month...I really must try harder....I have noticed my alerts are way down too..maybe it's the time of year..anyway I shall try to write more ;-)

It's St Paddy's day today although I've been told that the celebrations were held over the weekend so as not to have the drunken behavior occur during the holy week leading up to Easter... don't know if that's true or not... I did go for a drink with the girls from work Saturday night to celebrate the march birthdays at our office... speaking of which it is that time again MY BIRTHDAY tomorrow...don't know why but I am not looking forward to this one..46 sounds way to close to 50 to me and I just can't even fathom the F word and me in one sentence..where has the time gone? I still think of myself as young and crazy...a bit of a raver if you like...;-) Although my body is starting to let me know it's feeling it's age...minor aches and pains...more jiggly bits...and I actually scare myself if I look in the mirror upon waking...not a pretty sight...LOL.. not sure what we will do for my birthday..we have a staff meeting at work...yes I am doing a 12 shift on my birthday :-(... the cards are starting to trickle in..thanks to Lisa Jo for the beautiful card..you are such a sweetheart and never forget...my brother and sister and their partners and 6 other couples are all in Tunisia for a holiday so I don't expect to hear from them...I expect my dear old dad will give me a ring bless him...

The count down to the deployment for hubby and his squadron has started...I am not looking forward to him being gone again for 6 months..his trip last week showed him what his life will be like over there...he was pretty depressed..it was a reality check for him..no luxuries where he is going..there was a change in plans and he won't be actually in Iraq but very close by...they call it the "desert"..it is by no means any safer..in fact the base was hit while he was there....I am trying no to think too much about it...but it's always in the back of your mind.... he is due to leave the day before our 25th wedding anniversary....

On a happier not I got to do what I love best yesterday..sit out in the glorious sunshine on the deck and read and enjoy the back yard..everything is coming to life and it is so pretty out there..hubby cleaned the pool and it looked very tempting but way too cold for a dip yet... the pool temp was 60 yesterday...brrrrrrrrr..it won't take it long to warm up though..pretty soon our day time temps will be in the 80's and we get sun on the pool for at least 4 hours a day....

Well I guess I better go hit the shower and get to work...hope you all have a great week... I shall leave you with my five...
