First of all I want to say "Yipee for Me" I made it through another Wisconsin winter. The sun is shining, the grass has a resemblance of green (kind of a brown, but at least it's not white) The birds are chirping (very early, but I LOVE it) and I can actually see out my kitchen window (a few weeks ago it was obstructed by snow). So if you live in a northern climate like me-hats off to you !! You made it !! I've decided to ignore any snow that may decide to come our way. I will not shovel or acknowledge its presence.
Spring in Green Bay also means that my favorite ice cream stand opens up !!! It is within walking distance (not always good)-Zesty's has a sign outside their stand saying "Opening Soon"-I peeked in the windows (is this legal?) and I saw the "cones" lined up and ready to go. They have a flavor of the day-everyday and it is homemade custard (nothing low fat about this). My favorite is "Death By Chocolate". I'll update you when they open. I'm already planning a 5lb weight gain this summer. The beauty of having a child is that you can always talk them into going for ice cream.
My husband is putting up shelves over out media center. Whenever he does a project it's always an interesting day. His famous line is "This will only take an hour"-well....it started at noon and it's now 3pm, with no signs of being finished. Men-can't live with them, can't live with them.
Tim has off next week for Spring Break. We're staying home and bonding as a family (which really means that airline tickets to Florida were price prohibitive). We're planning on going to a SpongeBob Hoopla at the library tomorrow (it will kind of be like Florida, warm-lots of kids and swimsuits are optional). We're also getting ready for our annual rummage sale with friends, which will entail going through everything in our house that we spent a lot of money on, cleaning it up and getting 25 cents (Is this crazy ??, let me know). Tim will really enjoy helping out with this on his spring break. What kid wouldn't want to sort through items all day instead of going to Lego Land in Orlando ?
Well-I'm off to meditate-have a great week !!!
I have no understanding of what a Wisconsin winter, or spring for that matter, must be like. Down here in sunny Florida, we had a big scare - the air conditioner went out in our home just as all our family gathered for a big church / family celebration. We were blessed by a cool day - low 70's - so we just opened the windows and turned on the fans. Delightful! Hopefully the air will be repaired before the temps ease back up into the usual spring 80's.
