        The Choice is Ours!

Good Morning 

A busy day yesterday drove over to Chippewa Falls and I found a place and can move in May 1st. So that is a relief. Today is my Birthday. My brothers was March 22nd so I am driving up to his place tomorrow and staying the night to celebrate both our birthdays. I make a killer buttermilk chocolate cake with ganache so am making that today for tomorrow

Had several cravings yesterday  due to all the stress/anxiety of deciding on the place. Nicotine certainly is an odd addiction. It screams "I will save you just take a puff and relax".  Which is the biggest oxymoron as the fear of the emotional guilt outweighed taking the puff.

Good morning, Marilyn

  The telephone meme made me chuckle this morning. Thank you. Yes I remember those telephones

 One of the songs someone may have listened to in high school.

 

J Geils Band - Must Of Got Lost (1974) - YouTube

@jonimarie So glad you found  new place to live. It's stressful, but must be a comfort knowing you'll soon have a home.  

There a lots of March birthdays here including myself.  Happy Birthday.  Enjoy the visit with your brother. The cake sounds amazing.

Good morning Marilyn and everybody here this morning.  Staying NOPE with each of you today.  I don't miss the smell of nicotine.  @jonimarie  Happy Birthday and enjoy your day and your time with your brother.  Have fun today and hope you enjoy your new place.  My husband will be going out to till up some more of the garden.  I am trying to get organized and I kinda don't know where to start.  I need to finish my taxes, that's one thing....sometimes my thoughts just race and I can't pick one thing, so I do nothing which is not good either.  "Get your act together", I tell myself.  I was gone for almost 2 weeks and I want to do everything at once and it just doesn't work that way.  Enjoy your day today.

I am old and grew up waaay out in the country.  Not only did we have a rotary phone, but our number was Cockeysville 422, and when you picked up the phone, you got an OPERATOR to place your call!

Those were the days -  a simpler life, for sure!

😁

Lol Nancy @YoungAtHeart That's so funny ha ha 😃 Cockeysville 422! 😁 I never had an operator but I was the 9th person on a paryline of 10! That really sucked but it definitely was a simpler life. Thanks for the pic of Charlie he's a sweetheart and a late happy birthday to you Barb @Barbscloud Life gets pretty hectic at times @biscuit9 but thankfully we live life on life's terms even in the chaotic times YAY for Freedom, thank you Carl @Cousin-Itt for the awesome video!
