Road Trippin'

Don't have too long this morning, gotta make a long road trip for a job. But I'm not gonna complain -- well, at least not too much. It's just this darn traffic around here. There are just TOO many drivers on the road. I've got to make an hour-and-a-half drive that'll probably take me two-and-a-half. UGH! And on top of that, it's raining and I just had my car washed for the first time since November. Double UGH!

Ross and Cam are both sick with this creeping crud that's going around. Cam's got it pretty bad. He's got a fever, sore throat, runny nose/stuffy nose, cough and stomach ache. And oh, yeah, a headache too. Ross is just coughing, which makes his asthma start up. It really brings out the mommy in me when they get sick. I love to pamper really more than I like to be pampered. And believe you me, that's a heap of pampering! Knock on wood, Jeff and I have so far managed to escape the nasty germ. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. That's the last thing I need.

Jeff and I went to Georgia Pool Supply to pick out our pool liner. This is the one I picked out. I thought it would look so nice with the brick on the house and I just love the colors. It's even prettier in person. I can't imagine how gorgeous it's going to be when it's in the pool and full of water. I can't wait. Summer is so calling my name. I don't know what to plant around the pool though. I'm thinking natural-looking things will look best with this liner since it's more rustic than tropical looking. What do y'all think? I could just go with the weed look that grows so well in our yard, but I think I'd like something a little nicer. I've got a couple of months to think about it, but it makes me happy when I think about sunny things, so sunny things are what I'm thinking about. I may start using Coppertone suntan lotion just because I enjoy the summertime smell. Does that make me a little over the top?

Didn't get to make my soup last night. Jeff and I ate a late lunch. I didn't eat all of my sandwich, so he ate all of his and the other half of mine. He wasn't hungry when it was time for supper. He did make the most delicious cinnamon strudel muffins though. They were from a box mix and man, they were tasty. That was my supper. His too. Cam had some clam chowder and not sure what Ross had. They need some homemade chicken noodle soup. Do I have any volunteers? Just kidding. Knowing my sweet family, they'll be trucking it over by the bucketful. Cam doesn't even like chicken noodle soup. I offered to open him a can. See how much I like to pamper.

Suz sent me this tasty recipe last night. We're really into cherry limeade lately. We get them at Sonic and with tons of cherries on top. That's how we order them. A diet cherry limeade with tons of cherries on top. They charge 20 cents extra for tons of cherries.

Here ya go, courtesy of Suz:

SUZ'S DIET CHERRY LIMEADE (Makes 1 glass)

Fill your glass with crushed ice. Then pour in some Diet Sprite. Squirt or squeeze some fresh lime juice, then add some maraschino cherry juice to that. Top with tons of cherries. Throw a couple of lime slices in for flavor and because they look so pretty floating in your glass. Save your 20 cents.

Good job, Suz! Can't wait to try that one.

Okay, y'all, that's my post for now. Hope you have a Happy Humpday!
