Too Funny!

Um...did I say it was Spring here? This is what we woke up to this morning. Ok, this isn't really my yard. It's a picture of a blizzard somewhere in the midwest, but it did snow like crazy all night long, and we woke up to a good 1/2" dusting today. March 29th. Weird

So we don't have the windows open, nor do we plan to have the car windows open as we head out shopping this afternoon. Sunglasses may be in order, but only for glare, not the promise of summer.

So far, this has been a great weekend. Friday night I did go over to my PTA friend's house for Bunco. It was pretty fun; there were many people there I didn't know and most of them (except S's mom) were waaaaaay younger than I. There was a pregnant woman there and I was laughing to myself, thinking the only pregnant people I know anymore are daughters of friends. But we had a good time and I was able to cut out early when J and JJ picked me up after baseball. Saturday morning we headed out for a 9:00 game but after a half an hour of standing around at the field, the coaches called a rain-out. We went to Starbucks and had morning coffee then, and afterwards the three of us went to the mall. We spent half the day there, dinking around in the sporting goods store, where J insisted I buy a whole new wardrobe of workout clothes, since they were all on sale and my 5K training started last night. We went out to lunch and finally got home around 5:00...I left the two of them on the couch with JK and went to my 5K thing. It was just an informative kick-off, but I was all geared up to go this morning.

J and T joined me at the gym this morning, which was nice. I had a super workout and a healthy breakfast. Apart from the sinus infection that makes me want to rip my head off, I'm feeling really good today! I even put on this ridiculously juvenile outfit to go out - I'm sure J is mortified but whatever. I bought myself a pair of knock-off Converse sneakers (I've been coveting a pair of Ed Hardy's for about a month now, but I don't think any amount of tax return is going to make $89 for a pair of sneakers acceptable). They're plaid and velcro and totally fun; I complimented that with a t-shirt-under-a-t-shirt (white under bright bright tangerine), that's the part J really hates. He says it makes you look confused, like you couldn't choose which shirt to wear, long or short sleeve, so you just gave up and put them both on.

JJ wanted to go to the local furniture store today to watch the electric trains that run throughout the place on elevated tracks. Weird kid. I'm good with that, though; we're going to check out new kitchen tables and maybe an armchair for the living room.....

...maybe dinner at BLU tonight, if S&T's kids are feeling better. I guess they were barfing this morning, so we'll see. Tomorrow is the first day of spring break, so we really should celebrate by drinking too much and letting the kids stay up late. After all, it is only three months til summer vacation....and snow or no snow, there's no reason we can't start practicing.

Glad to hear you're having such a great weekend. Hope you have/had fun at mom's today and enjoyed time with the kids!

Love you!
