enough work...i'll get to Thing 12 later in the week...
it's spring break around our area, so this means a few things.
*busier library business this week, and the next 3, due to 'rolling' spring breaks over varying districts and the fact that we are the busiest library in the state...
*the warmest day since Nov 14th yesterday. 49 and sunny. today about 42 and cloudy. but the snow is melting, it seems to be puddle-palooza everywhere, and even if we do get nailed with a 10" snowfall in the coming weeks, it won't last long. spring really *is* almost here...the birds are singing their spring tunes (they no longer need to conserve valuable energy by keeping their little beaks shut), & the earth is slowing starting its muddy rebirth back to what will be green grass in less than 5 or 6 weeks....to me fall & spring are the two 'quicker' seasons...they just don't seem to last long. everything melts, and all of a sudden it's 80. winter and, yes, even summer, seem to be around for a good 3 months. that i'm okay with :)
*daylight savings time occurred last Saturday night...gotta love being able to have one more hour of daylight that's waxing every day between now and June. Finishing a run in the evening light is way better than icy darkness. Esp when one of my training teammates broke her leg on the first run of the season due to ice :(
*Easter is super early this year. Which makes all of those adorable little girl fancy dresses just silly since there's no way they'll be warm enough in their Easter best. Poor kiddos....
So bring on the lilacs, returning birds, fresh cut grass, the sound/smell of rain showers & oh yes, baseball season~ Now, absolutely nothing against the Twins....they are my 2nd hometown team... but I am a devout Chicago Cubs fan all the way. It's in my blood. Gramps rooted them on all of his 78 years. My dad worked for WGN for 20 years in helping televise from Wrigley Field almost every home game...and sometime in my lifetime I hope to see what the Boston fans have now seen twice in just a few years. A World Series with the Cubbies :) winning hopefully....

Who knew you were a Cub fan?!?? Me too. Big time, I actually have a little plastic "Die Hard Cub Fan" card that I got when I joined the official club back in the early 1980s. I watched every single Cub game when I was 12, 13, 14 and would go to Wrigley 20-25 times a year. Huge fan. Not so much anymore, don't have time to follow the sport (and I abhor the Metrodome ... after Wrigley Field, everything pales in comparison). Go Cubs! Now that the Red Sox have won (twice) the Cubs really are the only team left that hasn't won since the dark ages. Maybe next year, right? :-)
