I have recieved my stimulus check, but I haven't decided how to spend it yet. I feel it is my duty as an American to spend it instead of save it - but for now it is burning a hole in my virtual 'savings' pocket. However, my main goal for the extra money is to fly back to Minnesota sometime this summer! I would love to be in town for the Minnesota State Fair, but I doubt that will happen. I just want some yummy deep fried cheese curds... that's all!! Anyway, look for me this summer, possibly, sometime. (Side note: any cheap airlines into MSP? I see that JetBlue, SouthWest, and Virgin all do NOT fly there...)
This weekend was so incredibly nice! We had temperatures yesterday in the 80s and today in the 70s. I did a little bit of yard work, but not much. I did plant a new daily in an empty pot. I did a little bit of weeding, but I have to admit it's an uphill battle when you have as much landscaped area as I do. I still have yet to get back in my gardening 'gear' since putting my back out about two months ago. Anybody want to come out and help?
I did manage to get some shopping in (supporting the economy) and have a couple of new shirts to show for it. They don't have anything super cute, and there seem to be a lot of 80s prints back.... which I can't really support. Wearing teal, an almost totally 80s color, is something I can support though, so I suppose it all evens outs.

You're not going to find a cheap ticket during the state fair time though, with the GOP Convention being here.
Posted by: bleaus at May 18, 2008 08:02 PMOh that's right! I forgot the GOP convention was going to be held there. Well that's a bummer for all of the out of state college students coming back too.
SunCountry isn't exactly the cheapest, it is more reasonable though.

Landscaping - I'll come and help since most of your other friends are in other states - we'll set a date I can leave Mom here if I leave her a lunch - it'll be FUN! :) I'll bring my loppers - :) Always wanted to say that.
Yeah - the colors out there in the fashion world are not my faves. :(
I'm getting some new clothes with my check. ;)
Love, Mom
Nicks mom works for sun country if you need cheaper tickets
