A Spring Thing

As James' birthday is near it is a signal of something. No not the West Texas Relays or the first day of spring but instead the time to switch the snowmen in the kitchen back to the usual decor. Pronounced, "Day Cor," with a very hard DAY by the PR Director of Tom Thumb while trying to entice us on the radio to come to the Spring Home and Garden Show this weekend. As I was packing the Frosties back into the box this morning the forecast is a chance of snow! Just a small chance but doesn't it make you happy that you haven't rushed out to get your spring flowers or put your garden in? It does me! I did clean out my garden but didn't even turn over the soil. I'm saving that for the day I harvest the isopods for school. But anyway I found the whole snowman thing ironic just a little too ironic, don't you think? It's like raaaainnnn on your wedding........

Spring Break

A good time to rest up, catch up and think, "What the heck am I going to do alllll summer?"

Zombieland?

Yes. Last night I watched Zombieland. I know Zombieland and Wolfman in the same year? Both of these I saw just because James wanted to see them and it is only fair since he complained through the second movie about Bridget Jones on Friday night. To my shock and unhorror, I liked Zombieland. It started out with 2 things I like: humor and a rules list! I wasn't even sure what a zombie is and am still not sure but didn't keep me from enjoying the show. Woody Harrelson was the typical Woody, goody. The other actors were all young kid-adults that I didn't know but enjoyed. In addition to lists of rules, the main character also talks about his list of irrational fears. I always find that funny and interesting because as a kid, I had my fair share. Did you know I scrunched up my night gown to the width of a rubber band so I could quickly get it over my head without anything attacking me. Zombieland is a fun 2 hour ride and it isn't really a scary movie at all. I recommend it for $1-3 dollar viewing.

Continual Improvement?

I'm tired of getting better when the old me is pretty good already! Is that the voice of a tired person? What does it say when we have to keep improving on good? Better data, better looking, better example, better monitor...Yes, I must just be tired. Perhaps I'll wait until morning to post this. Better yet, I'll email a few folks and tell them that they are fabulous. Everybody likes a good report- even better a great report.

Slyins?

Why isn't it that someone I know has compiled a list of word verifications of words for Blog responses? They remind me of snigglets! For instance, today I had to verify my blog response with Slyins. What does that sound like it would means? A sneaky way of tell a fib, of course. I guess perhaps I must be the founder of the word verification dictionary. Remember though, that my acronym NSCU never really took off, even after a years use. OK first word: Slyins.

Snow Day Reaction/Action

Hmmm! I did enjoy a day off but now the price to pay. A week of wetness(hard on the septic system, pet comins and goins, shoes, cars, and RECESS). A delayed Valentine party at school must be had. One day behind on the new week before it starts. So I started today with an hour of WItennisizing, and some vigorous cleaning including the shower doors! Add to that a healthy lunch, a game of Solitaire, and the 2 o'clock viewing of Wolfman and perhaps the lapse of Snow Day A Mania will resurface. Did I mention I'm an Olympic Hater? Well I'm trying to pour myself into the Winter Olympics so I began last night by watching almost the entire Opening Ceremonies. When they had completed the show and announced that Wayne Gretski would bring in the torch in 12 minutes I fell asleep! I awoke just in time to miss the 4th torch that wouldn't light and Steve Nash my personal favorite! I did see them light the city torches, all 4 of them. I had sufficiently bonded with all the high profile athletes that were bio-ed and am anxious to lose myself in the world of Women's Hockey. Let's see how long this lasts. Perhaps as long as the enthusiasm for the snow!

Looking Forward to the Break?

Looking forward to the break? What break? We haven't had spring break yet? Hey we haven't! Yes, I'm looking forward to spring break but obviously have no plans. Somehow my tired isn't quite as tired. There is hope!
