Attentive Items

One:
Happy Early Easter!
Happy First Day of Spring!
A Reflective Good Friday!
What's the Easter Bunny going to Bring?

Two:
"it's beginning to look alot like Christma"-er, aren't I supposed to be singing about the first day of Spring?

I give up, Chicago winter, you flipping win, you dig?
You win!
I whine.
I drink it too,
usually only white and pinot style,
wine that is-Chitown Style.
Outta the Glass,
it never lasts.
Wish it did.
Last forever,
you know, sorta like this down coat and hat headed winter?
It's over used it's style.
This long and drawn out season.
First day of Spring you say?Bah, I give up!
I say, You win!
But I can still move from you.
So be careful how you treat me, or I too will leave you,
and this time it will be for good."

I sent this today, (in email, you know, the tacky little poem you just read up above?) to my closest friends, as my coffee steamed away nearby in her darling mermaid mug, comfortable on the desk. Warm and cozy and full of rich and sweet the morning sip is always the best.

Sent before I had to gather out the serious Winter gear again, boots included too, to head to a wonderful haven, a birthday party for my cousins little girl! A fun indoor place called PUMP IT UP, you can google it to learn more if you want to. I will tell you this, it's a place that hosts gigantic inflatable jumpy things.
My dear sons, her children, and many other tikes from her party, jumped and slid and ran their way right outta their winter clothes, worn, on the first day (or is it second day?) of Spring.
A private party hosted specifically for my adorable cousin, and I laughed, because there was a mom that was off doing Yoga in the corner of room 2, and not room 1.

"Only in OUR TOWN," we laughed to ourselves, as she did triple dog crouching tiger (EH?) and rolling up into a side kick, soon, she was off to chase after her two children. Yes, her children are classmates of my cousin's daughter.

Good laughter.
Misplaced batteries.
Lots of snow falling outside another Winter Storm warning.
Sigh, I guess this is what my UD meant, when he said don't wish for Spring back in February, too quick!

Welcome To Crustybeef~
"here comes, Suzie Snowflake..."
Oh, did I mention my close friends live in areas sporting 60's and 80's?
They enjoyed reminding me of that today after I griped about the winter weather.
I guess it's payback from the days that I lived in Florida, when they were stuck up here, in the Midwest, a not so typical this year Chicago Winter.

I'll see you all on Monday or late night Sunday.
I'm off to go make snow bunnies in our yard, and shovel the driveway yet again, one more time.
