o/'o/'o/' We're havin' a heat wave....

.... a tropical heat wave o/'o/'o/'

Well, not really but it's been record setting - temps in the 60s. Around there here parts it's referred to as the January thaw. Good grief - nearly two feet of snow - gone, kaput...ain't no more. One good thing about it is all that snow compressing on my roof thawing refreezing etc is gone before it backed up into the house....and the best part is I didn't have to pay to have it removed. We do have a roof rake and I can pull about 2 feet of snow off the edge of the roof but that still leaves a lot of snow up there to cause some potential damage. All gone - for now - until the next time it snows. - which I think is sometime this weekend.

My eBay agony is nearly over...the seller and I have reached an agreement to end the transaction and withdraw negative feedback from each other....stay tuned, there may yet more of this to deal with. Let this be a lesson to all of us - really really check a seller's feedback rating before bidding - I didn't and boy it's been a mess. Ought there be a rule that one has to be literate to sell/buy on eBay?

We've been playing Lego Star Wars The complete Saga on our Wii - *I* have been playing it in my sleep - or more accurately lack of sleep. It's what I do when I get into something intently or frustrating - I grind away at it in my sleep...hard to do a sudoku puzzle in my sleep when there are no numbers - hard to sort out Wii strategy when you have no clue what the next "chapter" is all about....save Princess Lea? Sure - but didn't C3PO and R2D2 disappear off someplace else with Chewie when last I saw them...Help me Obi Wan....;-D I need sleep. Sigh...

So I got an email from one of my favorite places online to get snacks and goodies - Nutsonline
Now these people have the very best dried fruit and nuts and candy all in one place. Shipping is fast and we all just ooooo and ahhhh over the goodies we buy from them. Their chocolate pecan turtle type candies are awesome but I originally bought from them in order to get some dried raspberries. So yes, they send me an email...asked me to fill out a survey...at the end they mentioned they would send me free gummie snacks as a present for taking the time to fill out their survey. Yeah sure thanks...I see your ploy. Ha! I have until April to put in my next order and still receive my free Gummie snacks...can't fool me...I see your ploy - offer up free gummies and she'll put in an order she didn't intend to just to get free gummies. I see your ploy so it won't work on me...nope...no way...hey what are these new malted milk balls? Malted milk balls surrounded by milk chocolate, surrounded by dark chocolate surrounded by white chocolate and swirled? HHmmm... Yeah, so I still saw your ploy and so maybe it worked...so? so what? Now, where are my milk balls? Hhhmmm? and my gummies...and raspberries and snack mix....and whatever else I ordered? ( BTW if you want to order something and are interested in getting 10% off your order, email me and I'll refer you - we'll both get 10% off)

In case you are wondering...Roomba and I are still good friends even when he escapes the living room into the kitchen and demands to have his brushes cleaned. Knoel refused to give up his bed and made Roomba clean around him yesterday. ~Elmo still just glares from the hallway just the other side of the barrier marker. Yes, Still pretty entertaining at 9am every morning.

Have a good evening, Fans....
