The bluebonnets are coming, the bluebonnets are coming!
The calendar on my wall says something about the first day of spring being next Monday, but it lies. Spring has been here for at least a week and the bluebonnets know it. They're starting to show up in great, lush, blue-white carpets along the highways. I actually planted some bluebonnet seeds in my porch planters last weekend and already I have three (three!) sprouts! All of the trees are leafing out as well in that bright, kelly-spring green way as well. Just don't stand still outside too long or you might end up covered in flourescent green pine pollen.
Spring for us is invariably busy, and this year seems doubly so. DH is doing his training for the MS 150, I'm trying to get new designs ready for April and beyond, plus there's taxes, preparing for a family wedding in late April, and some other work stuff going on.
I did manage to make it to the gym yesterday. Which was a good thing, since the in-laws came in for a visit over the weekend and we did lots of eating out (including a trip out to a lovely little cafe in Round Top, Texas, which has the most decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie). I have a slight problem, though, because I'm currently watching season 3 of 24 on my iPod (which means I watch it at the gym). I'm about halfway through the season, so I worked out on the eliptical while watching one episode (about 45 minutes), then came home and watched the new episode for the new season. Keeping the plot lines straight can be a bit confusing. And who elected this President Logan? After having Palmer president? Well, I've got a trip coming up, so maybe I can plow through a bunch of season 3 while I'm travelling.
Special Kudos to the nice lady who let me go in front of her to check out at Walmart. I had so few items, I didn't even have a cart, but as usual, there weren't any short lines. This lady had a full cart and had just found a short line, but she pointed it out to me and let me go in front of her. Seems there are still kind people out in the world. Something we should all remember to be - kind people.
