Super Annoying Tuesday

Today is the big day. Will Texas pick Obama or Hillary? I generally don't care much for politics (it's not that I don't care), but I'm excited that Super Tuesday is here because that means the political commericals will finally stop. Every third commercial is a political commercial. The hands-down winner for worst commercial comes from Hillary. It's the one where the commercial fades in and you hear her voice saying, "Every morning when I get up, I ask myself, 'How can I help someone today?'". Really? That's what you ask yourself? I'm totally calling BS on that. I guarantee the first thing she asks herself is #1 - "I wonder where Bill slept last night?" followed by #2 - "How the hell did this guy get ahead of me in the polls?!!" And maybe after today everyone will stop using the word "caucus". One of our VPs called me today as I was leaving and he asked me if I was on my way to caucus. I started giggling. Because I'm 12.

It snowed in Big D last night... which is amazing because you can see by the pictures we were outside in short-sleeved tops on Saturday afternoon. It started snowing as we were going to bed and was sticking, but had melted by the time we woke up. That's disappointing. I wanted to see some snow. Lee and I were just discussing this weekend how we couldn't remember the last time that it didn't have at least one snow/ice day in a winter. I also wanted to dress Ellie up in the snow suit that I had when I was little. It's seriously A Christmas Story style snow suit. My mother saved it for me just in case I had a little girl one day and we lived in the Arctic tundra.

Did anyone else have a totally off-whack February 29th? Based on my Friday at work, I'm convinced that day is cursed because it's a fake day. I seriously think that everything that could have gone wrong with one of my projects did. An unfortunate series of events involving some buried underground utilities left me on the phone with our legal department at 4PM wondering why I'm not smart enough to carry a flask around with me. I wish I could say, "It's not my fault", but as the project manager, it is my fault even though I've done everything I can. Since my cold was coming on strong, I was in bed asleep by 10 PM. Goodbye and good riddance, Leap Day.

On Saturday, we did the usual swim lesson followed by long nap. It was so nice outside that when Ellie woke up, we decided that we needed to get outside. We called up Elizabeth and picked her up for a glass of wine at Times Ten Cellars. We don't make it there as much as we used to and I miss it. After a glass or two on the porch, we met my parents and Beth for dinner at Matt's Rancho Martinez. Ellie was really good and had fun reading some Easter books that my mom's friend, Kathy, sent her. We did the usual Sunday church thing and then Ellie and I went shopping for some new spring clothes at The Loft. They are having a great sale right now and I earned four coupons for "spend $50 and get $25 off" so I see more shopping in my future. Ellie got a new inflatable tub that fits inside our tub because I feel like she's finally outgrown the infant tub.

I am so glad that we saw Van Halen back in January because they cancelled their second Dallas show for Monday night. Van Halen according to their website, Eddie is "undergoing medical testing" which is code for "he's back on the hooch and headed to rehab." I just hope the Police stay together long enough for us to see them in May!
