Mountain Girl Silver - Hand-Stamped Customized Silver Jewelry - Portland, Oregon

Spring is totally in the air today. That’s not to say it won’t get back down to 40 degrees w/ sideways rain tomorrow……… but us Oregonians take each day .. one at a time.  Kooky weather indeed.  

Hubby has been in Vegas since Wed, he returns tonight. He’s been there with his buddies from college, gambling on the basketball March Madness whatever..  I hope he comes home with A) a lot of winnings and B) an In N’ Out burger for me.  Yes yes,, I’d risk the food poisoning from sitting in a backpack for three hours, and I’d eat it totally soggy and nasty..   He’ll be home this evening.  Being with the kids all by myself is interesting. Finally this morning, Maggie asked,, “So mommy,,, when is daddy going to be home again?”   and I say to myself.. ‘not soon enough’  Don’t get me wrong, I love spending one on one with the kids. We break all the rules. Eating breakfast for dinner, ordering in expensive, gourmet pizza, watching movies, and basically going against the set schedule.  It’s a nice break, for all of us…   But, we are all anxious for him to get home. 

Spring break is underway!!  We leave on Monday for the beach for three days. Can’t wait. Hopefully the rain will hang off the coast and we’ll be able to put our feet in warm sand. We go to a great place over in Netarts, Or called HAPPY CAMP HIDEAWAY  www.happycamphideaway.com . It used to be some sort of old vacation spot for all the loggers way back in the day. Most of the structures still stand. But basically it’s a string of cabins right on the beach.  Yah, sure, the floors are all crooked, and the doors all creak, and the windows are all single pane, but you are literally right on the sand with the gorgeous Netarts Bay right at your footstep.  We try to make it to Happy Camp at least 4 or 5 times a year. The owners of the place, Bruce and Theresa Lovelin are the best hosts, and it’s always good to see their smilin’ faces.  I’ve got to start packing!!!

Thinking of stamping today. It’s really hard to motivate myself to stamp with the sun shining. I’d much rather be outside getting my fingernails dirty. I’ve got some ornamental grasses to plant, and I’d like to get some freesia and gladiolus bulbs in the ground sometime this weekend.  That, and I really really need to clean out the pond in our front yard. I’m certain that the raccoons ran off with most of, if not all, of my pond comets. Those animals are BANDITS!! Just like they look!!!  That and I also need to do a water change and a good cleaning to my fish tank here in the office. The gravel is lookin’ pretty hairy and nasty.    

The list is long, of chores to do..  Not to mention I need to return about a dozen phone calls from yesterday. Orders are definitely picking up for Mother’s Day. I’ll be sending out a free shipping coupon here pretty soon. So if you would like one, just let me know via email  mountaingirlsilver@mac.com   and I’ll send one to you!!  

Off to take a shower for now……..  or maybe not.. I’m sure I’ll get side-tracked between here and the shower…. which is usually the case.  Laters..
