Weekend Wishes

I won't be posting for a few weeks. Leave the light on for me.  I'll catch up with you.

Did You Know Thursday

Did you know, Elizabeth Warren proposed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protect American consumers? She proposed it in 2007 and it was passed in 2010 in response to the 2007-08 financial crisis. It’s priorities: student debt, mortgages, and credit cards.

Tuesday

My new toy.

When the cost for my vacuum bags went up to forty dollars for a six pack, I decided it was time for a change. This vacuum cleaner cost me twenty dollars more than what I paid for my bags. So far, I'm very pleased with it. It works well and there are no bags to purchase. The downside: Emptying the canister gets a bit messy.

More pictures of Longwood Gardens.

AND...

Classic quote from Justice League.

"What's your super power?"

Bruce Wayne: "I'm rich."

What about you? Hopefully, you are doing something more exciting than vacuuming:) Been to Longwood Gardens? Seen Justice League?

Happy Birthday

AND...
A belated Happy First Birthday to our little warrior.

AND...
In remembrance of Carmen Stefanescu, who first told me February 24 was a Celebration of Love Day in Romania.

AND...
A belated Happy Birthday to Diane.

Did You Know?

Did you know, Edgar Allen Poe married his thirteen-year-old cousin?

Tuesday

Why is the dog here?

Because the cat is here:)

And yes that is plastic on the couch. It keeps a certain Monster Kitty that shall remain nameless from clawing at it.

AND...

A friend of ours--a sassy, spunky Southern gal who shall also remain nameless--recently broke up with her significant other because he was around too much.  He was 'there when she left and there when she got back'.  We got quite a kick out of this since that's what most folks are looking for in a relationship. Someone that is there. Any-hoo, the HH was leaving for his tutoring gig and told me he'd probably be home around six.  

I said, "I'll probably be here."

And he said, "You're here when I leave and you're here when I get back."
