I have a new Boyfriend

Yep - that's right. I have a new man I'm talking to on the phone almost on a daily basis.

His name is Aiden and he loves to hear my voice and tell me about Gordon's coal car and what ducks say and what color a bus is.

Its funny when I call up and in the back ground you can hear Aiden in the background going - Aunt Beth? and when my sister gives him the phone and I say Hi Aiden he just screeches with joy and then tells me about what he is watching or the new words he knows. These words now include purple nemo fruit snacks and bless you (when you sneeze) - but most of the time he doesn't say bless you, he just laughs at you.

If Aiden calls me and Chris answers the phone there is always a voice in the background saying "put Beth on the phone". And then I get shrieks of joy.

I've gotten a couple really good voice mail messages from the little man.

I Found it!!

Well I finally found my Jiffy Cake mix.

I actually went to Meijers today because I'm out of Guacamole mix and I only like the McCormick brand and Krogers doesn't carry that brand of Guac mix - they have all the other packages McCormicks makes but not the Guac. So while I was buying like 20 packets I checked to see if they had cake mix and what do you know - they had it!!

So now I know where to get it when I run out next. I only bought about 10 boxes (and they were on sale) so I should be good for a couple batches of peach dump cake this summer.

Is it just me and the location of this Meijers - but are they turning into the new Walmart? I saw some really really interesting people while there after work today. I would expect that at Walmart but not Meijer.

April 2nd - lawn was cut for the first time of the season

Yup - I said that right. Chris just had to mow the lawn this evening because "its getting crazy out of control". Really only the portion down by the willow was getting long because of all the water that collects down there. So you can tell he cut that. As for the rest of the lawn - I see no difference. Plus according to the weather is supposed to rain for a couple days and we have a chance of snow again this weekend - crazy weather.

Men - I really don't know what is going thru his mind sometimes.
