Spring

The sun is shining earlier now, which helps me get out of bed. Thank god we do not follow daylight savings time — the thought that it would be an hour darker now makes me shudder.

It is spring this week, and as soon as the two feet of snow melts it will start to look like it? Though there’s a good start on melting. My front road is now a mud bog.

Ah, Spring

Vacation is Over

It’s back to work time. I just heard myself sigh.

Snow Day

We’ve had one of our spring break snowstorms. Over a foot of snow so far with plenty of shoveling opportunities. The real joy is that a snow day has already been called for Monday, so my Spring Break vacation gets extended an extra day. After five days in fabulous, but hectic New York City, having a few days to lounge at home is lovely.

Anniversary

Today is this blog’s anniversary. Six years ago I made my first post.

Of course, I can’t say I have been blogging for six years. Taking a two-year break kind of screws those numbers.

Is it Friday yet?

This work week is going to be a long, slow one. After all, how can I get excited about a normal work week when it’s vacation time next week. New York City, here I come!

Pinterest?

How long can one woman sit on the couch? Well, if I’m anything to go by, it can be a long, long time. I worked from home all day, and then decided to continue my “Bones” marathon. I’m standing as much as I can tomorrow.

Now I’m changing positions. It is time to go prone. It’s laying on the couch time!

I’m Pulled Back In

How did I end up spending hours in Second Life today? It amazes me that when I go away for awhile, I can still jump right back in and spend hours in the place. I’m checking out the new Mesh-style clothing, which is interesting. i may even have pictures later. Now? I’m cleaning up some inventory!

Once Upon a TV Series

I’m catching up on the “Once Upon a Time” series and finding it often fun, but how can this series succeed for more than one or two seasons at the most? Won’t we get tired of all the shenanigans and want our main characters to recover their storybook memories? How long can this last?

Hmmm…Testing…Testing

I’m not sure I even remember how to post to my blog. I miss poor DilettanteVille, but I wonder how many bloggers slowed down on posting, or quit entirely, when Twitter and Facebook entered their lives?
