Spring Fever

It snowed yesterday. I blame Hawks. After a few gorgeous days last week he got a wild hair to remove the soft top from his Jeep. Two days later, it snowed.

It didn't just snow but I do believe it dropped the estimated 3-6 inches. It snowed all night and most of the day yesterday. Then the sun came out & BOOM! By the time I left work yesterday it was scattered sprinkles but the snow was almost completely gone.

Today we're sitting pretty with blue skies, sunshine, and holding on at a cool 42° F. I really wish I could be outside in it. Soaking up Vitamin D sounds a lot better than tweaking admin systems & building websites.

Speaking of - my vaca was approved & starts this Friday (thru Wednesday). I'll have 6 glorious days off to do nothing. It may sound pathetic because I have no big trips planned or anything exciting at all, but trust me - I need just that.

Day #1 - Drive to Oklahoma & drop kids off with their dad. (Sooners Corner fried pickles - Yum!)
Day #2 - Celebrate Grandma's (Hawks' Grandma) 90th Birthday.
Day #3 - Take Astrid to muttrun.
Day #4 - sleep in, laundry & light housecleaning. Go to the farm & pet horses.
Day #5 - sleep in & do nothing.
Day #6 - sleep in & more nothing. Mayhaps read.

Snowmageddon 2011

It only looks innocent...

We finally got a load of winter snow in Kansas. Nothing like the blizzard we had last year but who knows, just because it's late doesn't mean it's not prepared to give us hell. Normally when we get anywhere from 5 inches or more I telecommute instead of driving the 36+ miles one way into Overland Park through what is best described as Mario Cart snow covered highways. Today though I decided to take my chances. It was either stay home with three kids cooped up since all the schools closed due to inclimate weather or take my chances on the road. Here I am bloggity bloggin' from my warm corner cubicle miles away from home - I think I chose wisely.
