Beautiful blue sky but absolutely freezing cold. Winter was warmer than Spring is!
I have now finished a quarter of the year in pictures- hooray!

Ah, the DeLorean- one of the cheesiest cars ever made. Sighted in our neighborhood! What is even more hilarious is that I thought this car was so cool when it came out. I love the font on the name badge- so 80's!

Making the so-called Amish Friendship Bread! Basically a delicious chain letter that you force upon your friends. (Monica actually did ask before she gave it to me!) I had been given one of these starters before and ended up throwing it out so I was kinda curious.
You mash the bag for 10 days, and add some ingredients and then on the 10th day you get to make the bread and then you end up with four "starters" that you then have to give to others- keeping one for yourself. That scares me because if I keep one for myself I will quickly run out of people to give it to, especially if all the people I give it to, then give it to people they know and then those people give it to people they know and so on, and so on, and so on- FOREVER! It kinda scares me. So I looked up how to end it. I think that is really for the best..

This is the new engine package Carl is offering called the Street Boss! I worked on this picture today to make a good image for his website and promotions. Picture looks good- very professional I think. www.CarsByCarl.com

Phoebe and I went to a great antique mall today called the Treasure Shoppe - lots of great stuff with generally good prices! This was the cutest thing - a pedal car shaped like an airplane. I really wanted it but could find no good excuse to buy it!

I forgot my real camera! Lots of fun with Patsy and Monica tonight! Went to Rico's for drinks and dinner. Had yummy desert wine that I now can't remember what it is called - something that is similar to mosquito but not! Moscato?

Apparently this item is morally offensive! This cute Marilyn Monroe pin-up. eBay called me today to tell me they were canceling my auction due to it being adult material. They said I could re-list in their Mature Audience (porn) section. I think this is ridiculous! I guess they are afraid that some kid is going to see this and what? be devastated for life at the representation in silver of a naked lady? horrifying! Or maybe an underage kid would buy it and then whack off to it? Yeah dangerous!

Ah, the dreaded scale. I weighed myself for the first time in probably two years today- absolutely horrifying! I actually weighed 10 pounds over the estimate that I had in my head. Carl says I should have weighed myself when we first started our diet but I am so glad that I didn't. Oh well, at least I didn't get depressed. I have always hated weighing myself and usually get depressed because of it. This time, even though I weigh more than I ever had, I really took it ok. Not depressed, just kinda accepting. I guess I knew it even though I didn't know the number and I'm already making the effort to change the situation. Pants fit better so I know I have lost weight!
Of course this isn't the scale I used to weigh myself- that scale is ugly.

The budding continues - hope they don't freeze and die. Spring officially starts March 20th, though around here it usually dosen't start til much later. The songbirds came back too. We started noticing them about a week or so ago.
Still not feeling well- hope tomorrow is better.

Carl evicted the squirrels from the attic today. After he did it they tried to get back in for quite awhile. This one took a break to look at me disgustedly (or so I imagined) through the window.
Sick today so did nothing other than laying around a lot and reading. Read Twilight.

We're keeping with the plan we came up with on my birthday to get together with Dawn & David every 42 days. They came down here this time and we went to Shuga's. We decided to use the same pose used on my birthday in front of Vesta's. We had a good time and yummy food. The next date is April 23rd.!

Oh the things people will buy off of the TV. This fine, fine item is a 2001-2006 World Trade Center Commemorative. It features a separate standing sculpture of the Twin Towers clad in .999 Pure Silver recovered from Grand Zero. I really don't like these kind of things. They were made to prey on peoples emotions so they will give up a ton of money to have a "Limited Edition" Commemorative item. They probably sold this for $50. or so and it is worth about $12. at current silver prices. People bring these in to sell to us and find out it's worth a fraction of what they paid. It's sad.

The guy standing is selling 4 stolen 100 ounce bars of silver to the shop. We purchased two yesterday and earlier today I was getting video ready for the police. This guy came in this afternoon to sell us more but we were ready for him. Tom delayed him while writing down the serial numbers of the bars, then he got up to blow his nose and went into his office to compare the serial numbers to the stolen bar list. Sure enough they were stolen! So as Chad was calling the police, he completed the transaction and wrote the guy a check. The guy left and Tom immediately called the bank to inform them not to cash it. Then we sent the police to the bank where the guys were arrested! This is from the video I recorded for the police. Hooray!
Okay here is my problem with criminals- what kind of a dumb ass steals something like this and then sells it locally? Go to a different state or at least a different city- what the hell is wrong with people!

I love action photos! Look at the beer go away! I'm practicing my Photoshop skills while drinking. Good fun. Maxxy is doing better today, swelling almost gone.

Maxxy's face and head swelled up tonight. He left the room and came back kinda scratching his ear. He jumped up to sit on the couch with us and he had a big weirdly shaped bump on his head. We started looking him over and within a few minutes his jowls were swelled up really big and then the right side of his face was swelling up so his eye was closing. The poor little guy! Carl jumped up and went to look on the internet while I freaked out! I'm really not good with stuff like this. From what we could determine he had a bug bite or some sort of allergic reaction. We gave him two Benadryl and slowly the swelling mostly went down. This picture is after the swelling had gone down quite a bit - though his jowls and snout are still swollen.

Tonight Carl and I went to see "Everyone But You" a film by musician and amateur filmmaker Eric Shiveley. I heard about this movie last year when it was the opening night selection at the Indie Film Festival but I was unable to go. Last night I got an email that it was playing today. Despite the incredibly short notice (who sends out announcements the night before?) I told Carl that we had to go. We loved it. He leaves behind all the things you are supposed to want- a good job and a nice house- to build a small house/recording studio in the San Luis Valley and work on making it in the music industry. I have great respect for him and what he did - living for his dream.
He has a new video on YouTube for his song "You Don't Know Me At All" .
It is my new favorite song.
