and... where did this month go?

March is over. Basically.

And I'm not real sorry to see it go. It's just a bridge month to summer and I am ready beyond ready for summer. The freedom of saying "Go outside and play." is wonderful.

We're beginning to think about our garden. I'd like snap peas and tomatoes, a variety of summer squash, and pumpkins. Since traditionally Hubs ends up doing the bulk of the work these decisions are more his than mine. Unless I can get him to believe me when I say "I'll help more this year, I promise!" -Which is a promise I make every year and every year it proves empty though I DO have the best of intentions in April. I never mean for it to become a lie, it just kind of does. But I believe in changing and growing and improving and so this year we will have the same conversation and... And, we'll see what happens come June.

June! Ahhh! Just thinking about it makes me happy! My BFF is coming to visit. I've booked a B&B up in Michigan, so we get to Road Trip! We haven't done this in ever, really. I mean not without our parents along. Ha! It's going to be wonderful! Even if it rains the entire time and we don't get to visit the beach it will still be wonderful. I imagine us staying up all night, painting toe nails and giggling like school girls... But the reality is we are both mothers of young children so it is far more likely that we'll go to bed by 10, and sleep until 9 and it will be GLORIOUS.

Anyway.

Life is good. I had a painting party to celebrate the Vernal Equinox, which is a holiday in this house. Ten women came and we ate the most amazing food and turned Enya on and filled our canvases with whatever we were in the mood to paint. The next day I received a ton of "That was so fun! Thanks for inviting me!" texts and one "When can we do that again?" So, it was a win. And perhaps will become another annual event like my book exchange party in the fall.

And now I'll go shower and dress for the day because it IS 12:45 & I probably should.
