Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.

1. What book or magazine are you reading now or do you want to read when you get the chance?
***Ten Things You Can't Say in America (excellent, so far!); The Purpose Driven Life; and got the new issue of "Southern Living" this evening, because it has an article about Ravine Gardens near here (95,000 azaleas were planted there in the 1930's).
2. What's the latest sign of spring in your area?
***I noticed today that the tangelo has buds and new leaves coming out and saw a baby bluejay eating from my feeder. A neighbor's toddler was playing in the hose in her bathing suit over the weekend. Oh, and I'm back out doing yard work. ;-)
3. What's a small thing a family member does that makes you happy?
***I love that Rob gives me a kiss and tells me he loves me when he gets out of the car at school in the morning and again before he goes to bed at night. Also, the loving emails Tim sends from work.
4. What's something a family member does that drives you batty?
***Tim and Rob are guilty of both of these -- They leave the shower curtain bunched up so it winds up mildewing, and they use a dish, glass, or silverware for a snack and put it in the dishwater, then decide they want more of the same thing

Al 3 of the children leave food wrappers lying around in the living room. HATE THAT.

Good ones, Rhonda-Roo.
Have a great day!
Sassy
I haven't thought about it lately but there is one at the library about the DC sniper that I'm interested in.
2. What's the latest sign of spring in your area?
Hay fever.
3. What's a small thing a family member does that makes you happy?
It's not a small thing, but DH is still not smoking. That makes me happy.
4. What's something a family member does that drives you batty?
He leaves empty wrappers, containers, etc. on the kitchen counter in full view of the dang trash can! What is that?!?!
5. What's something you do that drives other family members batty?
Complain about the empty wrappers, containers, etc. on the kitchen counter in full view of the dang trash can.
Thanks Rhonda

I'm reading Sea Biscuit and I have all kinds of magazines I'm reading-Fitness magazines, cooking magazines, decorating magazines-I'm a self proclaimed magazine junkie
2. What's the latest sign of spring in your area?
Crocuses poking up here and there
3. What's a small thing a family member does that makes you happy?
DD will always call when she's out doing errands to see if there's anything I need or volunteer to pick things up for me while she's out and lots of times brings me home lunch!
4. What's something a family member does that drives you batty?
Newspapers and everyone's mail all over my dining room table. We have one table and it's forever full of everyone's junk, and the dirty dishes in the sink when the dishwasher is sitting right there.
5. What's something you do that drives other family members batty?
Would have to say as of late-none are too happy with my mood swings!
2. What's the latest sign of spring in your area? None yet
3. What's a small thing a family member does that makes you happy? I think when they actually stop, and say thanks for the stuff I do for them
4. What's something a family member does that drives you batty? I hate when they assume that mom will just do it (can be anything from picking up clothes to putting out the trash)
5. What's something you do that drives other family members batty? Well they tell me I nag but come on lets face it if they did what they should I would not have to sound like one

No reason for my not doing it - get started with "Angels and Demons". It's sitting on the nightstand.
2. What's the latest sign of spring in your area?
Other than cardinals that start singing way too early in the morning, most of the snow is FINALLY melted.
3. What's a small thing a family member does that makes you happy?
DH does the laundry without being asked.
4. What's something a family member does that drives you batty?
My FIL's need to debate everything political, even when you agree with him. Basically, he either doesn't listen OR he has difficulty hearing - probably a combination of the two. And my BIL's lack of oomph - I think he's a little lazy and takes advantage of my sister's good nature.
5. What's something you do that drives other family members batty?
Nothing! I'm perfect.....Hmmm, maybe that's it - making sure everything is always in its place, clothes are hung up in the closets and not draped over doorknobs, the dishes are put away every morning, etc. Too much fussing over things that seem trivial to them.
And screwing up the checkbook once in a while; I have a bad habit of adding one column and subtracting another on the same line - keeps DH on his toes.

2)All the fun commercials with spring clothes and sandals oh yeah, and some robins too
3)When DS tells me he loves me just before he goes out
4)Leaving their stuff all over the house
5)Wow, nothing comes to mind!!!!Well maybe my telling them over and over to pick up their stuff. But I agree with what someone else said, if they'd do it I wouldn't have to say it over and over.
Thanks Rhonda!!!!

2. What's the latest sign of spring in your area? Bradford pears have been blooming for about a week, now the redbuds are starting.
3. What's a small thing a family member does that makes you happy? The Cus, cleaning up the kitchen after dinner.
4. What's something a family member does that drives you batty? Both Dan and Allison leave their socks laying around whereever they take them off. Disgusting! More funny than driving me batty, because I appreciate the help, the Cus will put things in the wrong place when he cleans out the dishwasher - yet most cabinets haven't been rearranged for the 13 years we've lived here!
5. What's something you do that drives other family members batty? When Dan is sharing a story which concern both of us, I'll often chime in with facts that are a part of the story, but don't contribute to the meaning. He feels I'm correcting him over nothing. I've got a memory for facts and happenings, and I like accuracy. It's the accountant in me, I'm sure. Now that I'm aware of it, I'm trying to back off on doing that.
