I'm over the whole Tony Shalhoub catastrophe. Really. I've moved on. I'm sure I'll meet him next time he's in my neighborhood. Soooooooooooo the weather has been so beautiful lately that I'm focusing my attentions on spring cleaning inside the house and outside as well. 9:30 am and I've already finished my laundry room, bathroom, dishes, laundry, and I've had breakfast with 2 cups of tea.

Yesterday was a blustery day and I opened up all the windows and doors and let the wind in. I love Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. The gopher tells Pooh it's Windsday but Owl tells him the wind is due to "a mild spring zephyr". Owl is hilarious!

Last night Mazin and I were in the barn. He was tinkering with his tractor and I was offering my usual moral support. These 2 arabic speaking gentlemen showed up at Betty's house to load up some horse manure for their garden and when we poked our heads out to see what the commotion was (horses, dogs and geese all get excited when strangers come to call), Mazin strikes up this arabic, yelling conversation over the fence regarding manure quality. Well, the result was that these 2 guys decided we must have better manure because of our animal variety. Betty just has horse manure poor thing. They actually left and came over to load a whole truck with manure from our barn. This was a huge snub against Betty who proceeded to tell me I thought my manure didn't stink. It may or may not stink but half our barn is cleaned out so it was a win/win situation as far as I can tell.

Yousef has a real make or break test tomorrow in chemistry. It will take place at approximately 2 pm. Everyone please send prayers, good karma and anything else you can think of sending. Money to bribe the chemistry teacher will also be accepted.
