Tonight on the way home from work, I stopped by Target to get my sister's foster son a birthday present for his 2nd birthday. She wanted me to find him a toy broom and/or mop, but they didn't have one. Apparently, they don't make them any more. I got him a train made out of building blocks and a toy rake.

When I got home, I watched last night's episode of Ugly Betty. I can't believe that next week's episode is the final episode of the series. I'm going to miss Ugly Betty. All good things must come to an end. It has been one of my favorite shows for the past few years. Hopefully ABC will come up with something equally as good to replace it.

I hope everyone has a good Friday. TGIF!!

Last night, I watched Rear Window. It is one of my favorites. Tonight, since there is nothing on, I am watching Making the Grade. Talk about your preppy overload. It's lame, but I love seeing all of the preppy fashions.

This afternoon on my way home from work, I stopped at Sears. I bought a Lands End sleeveless navy shift and a Lands End apple green cardigan. The cardigan is so Lilly looking. I think I may order the shift in khaki and a turquoise cardigan. Since I don't have to wear the silver and yellow big Nike's, I feel like I can wear dresses and skirts. I feel like I'm in college again with my skirts and dresses worn with my Tretorns. All I need is a pair of Tretorns for each outfit.

I went out to my car this morning and it was covered with pollen. All of the cars were covered, even the asphalt. It is supposed to rain after midnight. Maybe it will rinse some of it away. Then, there will be more pollen. I will be so glad when it stops.

I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

There is nothing on television tonight. I decided to watch Rear Window. I just love that movie. I would love to have a pearl choker like the one that Grace Kelly wears. I bet it is 14".

This week, I have decided that each day on my way home from work, I am going to do a little shopping. Tonight, I stopped off at Belk's to get some Kiehl's eye cream. While there, I went upstairs to the Lilly Pulitzer and looked around. I tried on a couple of dresses, but I didn't buy one. I did buy a tube of Wink body cream. Tomorrow night, I am going to run by Sears and check out a Lands End sleeveless dress that I saw the other night while I was there. If it fits, I will buy the navy and maybe order the khaki. I have several cardigans that I can wear with them. Thursday is grocery night.

I think some of the swelling is going away in my foot. It looks all shriveled up, like when you have soaked in the bathtub for too long. Maybe in a few months, all of the swelling will be gone.

I hope everyone has a good Wednesday.

We had a great day today. After church, we went over to my sister's house for a delicious meal. Afterwards, the kids enjoyed hunting Easter eggs.

I don't know if I have ever mentioned this, but my sister has four foster children. The three youngest are under 4 years old. The youngest has been living with her since September. He wins everybody's heart. The oldest is in high school and plans on living with them until he graduates college, yes college. He is a great kid. The other two are biological siblings and have only been living there for about 3 weeks. The newest children's mother wanted my sister and her family to attend church with her. My sister declined because she didn't feel like she should give up her day at her church for her. DHR asked the mother to attend our church. She did, which could have been an awkward situation, but the mother acted normal. Maybe the mother will get her children back soon. She had a drug problem, but has been clean for a short time. The children adore her. The youngest one's parents have some health problems that hinder them getting him back. They told my mother that they were glad that he lived in a household that loved him.

As I said above, the foster children's biological mother attended church with us and then came over and ate Easter dinner. She seemed fairly nice and appreciative of my sister's hospitality. The only thing, she didn't seem sad to leave her children there. Maybe she was putting up a good front. If those children are meant to go back to their mother, so be it.

I hope everyone had a good Easter.

HAPPY EASTER!!!

I hope the Easter Bunny was good to you.

I'm having some weird issues with my computer today. When I turned it on, the MSN homepage was in Japanese. I finally got that fixed. Then, I went into my blog and all of the headings at the top of the page were in Japanese. I signed into google and it fixed it...temporarily. I have to go through google to get to my dashboard. Has anyone else ever had this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

We woke up to dark skies and rain. About 2:00, the sun came out. It has been beautiful since. I hope it is pretty for Easter. I finally remembered to buy an arch support for my new Tretorns. Now, I have a new pair of shoes to wear to church tomorrow. I call them my Easter tennie shoes. Don't gasp, Miss Janice. I hope to be in my regular shoes in a few months. I decided to just go ahead and wear my nice dresses with my Tretorns. Everyone that knows me knows that I am recovering from a broken foot.

Tomorrow I'll be wearing a Brooks Brothers navy sleeveless dress, a Lands End light blue cardigan and Tretorns with navy gullwings. I'll also be wearing my pearls, of course. After church, we're going to my sister and brother-in-law's for hot dogs, ham, potato salad, green bean casserole, and of course, deviled eggs. The hot dogs are for the kids.

I hope everyone has a nice Easter. Have fun and be careful.

Today was a beautiful day here in the Magic City. The temperature was just right, and the
dogwoods and Bradford Pears were stunning. I hope it is just as beautiful in your neck of the woods. The warm weather has been good for my foot. Since the temperatures have been rising, I feel the hardware in my foot less and less. It makes it so much easier to walk.

Tonight when I was at Publix, I bought some hot cross buns to take to my mother's house for the holiday weekend. I have not had hot cross buns in years. I remember when I was younger, my grandmother and I used to sing a song called Hot Cross Buns. I think it went something like this:

Hot cross buns,
Hot cross buns,
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns.

Do you remember that song? I don't hear it anymore.

I hope tomorrow is a quiet day at work. Most people think that the banks are closed. Guess again.

I hope everyone has a good Friday. If I don't post this weekend, have a Happy Easter...and I hope all of you find the prize egg.
