Spring is coming!


I have convinced myself for some time now that spring will begin mid-March. March 13 is the day I have decided that it will begin. Yes, I have decided for Mother Nature when spring will begin. A canceled appointment allowed for me to come home to my little angels for a little bit. Snick and I took a very short walk in the amazing cool spring weather and I discovered that my seedlings had already been removed from the windowsill and the bag chewed by one of the cats. So...cat willing...I will have seedlings in a few weeks. Maybe I can end my black thumb curse after all. Otherwise, Zoe will be to blame.

Running, Eggs, Organization, and Disney=my weekends




So...a quick update on my life. Last weekend consisted of a trip to Chicago to see my friend Graciela for her 30th birthday party. She also showed me her major rock...she's engaged! Besides that, I was able to see my prego roomie from college on bed rest and run with my sis. I was smart enough to take my sister through the rough areas of town (I was a social work major in college...I know where they are) and on a snow and ice laden path next to the river...yeah, I have had brighter ideas. There is a guy who told us to run faster because we were running in the wrong neighborhoods. Oops...

My latest culinary obsession is eggs. I managed to make toast with a cool little heart cut out in the middle of it. The problem...one side became French toast, the other, eggs and toast. That cool trick has a little work to be done. I also managed to poach my first eggs yesterday. Yes, I am proud enough of myself to take a picture.:)

I also managed to clean out the shoes in my closet. I am surprised how many shoes I have and still am totally clueless as to what to do with my Doc Martens from high school that have barely been worn in eight years.

Last, but nowhere near least, T-4 days until Disney. I am stoked!
