I read an article on msnbc.com that talks about January 24th the worst day of the year. Some one at work had mentioned this so I thought it very interesting and wanted to share the article here for my readers, can I get any comments?

I’m getting excited about spring coming in another month or so. If we ever stop getting these horrible snow storms I’ll be one happy camper. We are in the middle of one heck of a storm right now, they are saying anywhere from 2 to 4 feet can be expected, with yet another storm coming next week, ugh…………I’ve so had my fill of snow this winter!

I have been anxiously waiting for this spring. I found the most wonderful window flower boxes that I picked up real cheap and can’t wait for the stores to start putting out the seed packets for planting. I want to have a real brilliant display of flowers around the place. I’ve always enjoyed the look of window plant boxes on people’s homes, the house that I grew up in had window boxes that my mother was so proud of planting each spring and summer. There is just something about a window box full of color that really brightens up the place and I’m ready for my place to have that certain touch added to it.

I always have a nice vegetable garden and a few flowers, plants, bushes and trees that pop out their beautiful blossoms for me to enjoy each year. I can’t wait to get my hands in the dirt once again, it seems like forever since we have had a nice warm and dry day. I really don’t like the month of February one bit other than the fact that it means that spring is right around the corner. But this year the groundhog indicates that we won’t be seeing anything for at least another 6 weeks, arg…………

My brother-in-law was telling me of the new neighbors that had moved next door. He went over and introduced himself to them and chatted for a few minutes to welcome them to the neighborhood. He tells me that their names are John and Marsha. When he told me their names, I immediately got a big old smile on my face from a memory that hadn’t found it’s way to my brain cells in a very long time.

Years ago, as a kid, my father used to listen to an album that had a hilarious comedy bit called John & Marsha. It was one of the funniest things that we listened to back in the day, so I went online today to see if I could find anything on it. I hit the Jackpot and found exactly what I was looking for. Stan Freberg was the comedian and I’d like to pass the video on her for you to listen to and to enjoy.

God how I love YouTube.com

OK, spring is right around the corner and I’m more than ready to start getting ready for the outdoor activities that I’ve been neglecting due to the nasty weather that this winter has brought us. I’m looking online at getting some new Sneakers or possibly a pair of quality Running Shoes and start running and exercising. I’m not getting any younger and I really need to step up to the plate and start taking my health a bit more seriously. The big “Five O” is fast approaching and it’s up to me to keep myself in the best shape possible.

I have a bike that I have been meaning to take down and out of the garage, but haven’t managed yet in the last 2 years, sigh……I even had a brand new pair of Bike Shoes  and Running Shoes that were bought and given to me as a Christmas present a few years back and they are still in the box in my closet. I love Shoes and have a closet full at my disposal and I’m always on the look out for new ones to adorn my feet with! I’ve always loved shoes, used to drive me mother crazy. When I was married I used to get all kinds of crap from my husband about my love affair with shoes.

Anyway online shoe shopping is a great way to find some wonderful variety of shoes. If they don’t fit or look right I just return them and move on.  Shopwiki.com is a great site to use in order to find all types of products, I use them quite a lot. Online shopping is the only way to go for me these days and is becoming more popular each and every day all around the world, amazing isn’t it?

This is scary for anyone who travels frequently by plane!!!!

 Actual crack in a US Airways Boeing 737 window frame! Fliers beware of the sub standard maintenance on the airplanes that you fly on. This is an actual crack that was found in the window frame on a 737. I’ll definitely think twice before flying USAir.
