Spring...

is in the air.

Well...at least for this weekend anyway.

Yesterday while running errands, the family and I stopped by my favorite nursery to see what they've started in their greenhouses. And look what I found...

I'm itching to get out and plant. However, I've learned from past experiences NOT to set out any type of plants, even perennials (like there are any available right now, anyway). This area has been known to have a late season freeze (i.e. April 2007).

I suppose I'll just have to entertain myself with perusing gardening websites and catalogs.

Happy Birthday...

to me!

Actually...it's tomorrow, but I'm planning to be otherwise occupied.

I'm addicted...

to FaceBook.

I've been spending way tooooo much time on FaceBook.

But, it's so much fun :)

Busy, busy...

bee!

That's me!

For the past two weeks, I have been covering TWO jobs. Mine and that of my co-worker, who took a leave of absence to care for her mom. I'm exhausted and irritated at the fact that no one takes the initiative to do anything!!! It's easier to pawn it off on someone else (me) because they know that it'll get done. Grrr....

All I have to say is...I'm up for tenure at the end of this school year and I BETTER get it!!!

If not, I'll be a SAHM again. Not that I'll mind, but...I'd like to be appreciated a little at work.

Is that too much to ask?

16!

Today is my daughter's birthday!










Her favorite...cheesecake!

We had her party last night. It turned out to be a great time. We had several of her friends over for pizza & wings, games and movies.

One of her friends was gracious enough to let her and a girlfriend mohawk his hair. There are pictures, but in order to save his dignity I won't publish them here. I think that they had a good time - I know that we did!

Here she is hamming it up with her girlfriend!













Happy Birthday, my beautiful daughter!

Your Friendship Style is Empathetic

You deeply care about each person you're friends with. For you, friendship is all about the personal connection. You tend to know everything about your friends' lives... and they know everything about yours. Your friends are your confidants. You are always there for your friends. You celebrate their successes and support them in their times of need. You are as loyal as they come. And you expect the same loyalty and understanding from your friends in return.

What's Your Friendship Style?

This is very true to form.

You Act Like You Are 37 Years Old

You are a thirty-something at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! You're responsible, wise, and have enough experience to understand a lot of the world. You're at the point in your life where you understand yourself pretty well. You are figuring out what you want... and how to get it!

What Age Do You Act?

I was hoping that I was just a little younger than 37 at heart.

Guess I'm an old soul.

What?!?!?!?!?!?!

Good grief!

Add in the windchills and it's gonna be near zero Friday morning.

ZERO!!!

I need to move farther South.
