A good start to the weekend

It started yesterday when I received my order in the mail from one of my favorite online stores, minus one item on backorder.

Today I am very fortunate. Let me explain my nervousness.

This week I wrote two checks, one for my car insurance and the other for my rent. I knew I would be able to cover the car insurance check if it hit my account first. The rent check I knew would bounce when it hit my account, first or second. If the rent check hit first then the car insurance check would also bounce. But, my ace in the hole came through today. Neither check has cleared my account yet AND my federal tax refund hit my account today. So now I can catch up with Mr. Electric Company and Ms. Cable TV and Internet. Grocery store here I come. I can now also purchase my plane tickets for Dallas. Woo-hoo.

Plus, my kiddoes are here for the weekend, which is ALWAYS good.

It's suposed to snow on Saturday after midnight and into the afternoon on Sunday here in the Northeast. A potential killer storm- I've heard between 12-18" of the white stuff. Now the big question is: will Nashua get hit hard or will the storm pass just to the south and east of me, meaning Massachusetts and maybe New Hampshire's pathetic excuse for a coastline... even weather.com isn't sure how the storm will track.

Pitchers and Catchers report next Saturday to Ft. Myers, FL for the start of Red Sox Spring Training 2006. This is good because it meas that warmer days are a comin'.
