A cure for the winter blahs

All it takes to get rid of the winter blahs are a few simple things.
  • A wonderfully balmy day where it gets into the 70s
  • My first daffodil bloomed
  • I got to get out in our tiny garden and do a bit of weeding
  • Yarn came in the mail today
  • My husband had a half day at work so I got to run all the errands that had been bugging me all week with out having to drag the kids with me. (Mom, your chocolate is finally in the mail)
  • Driving with the windows open
  • Having the computer that had been acting very wonky fixed by my super sexy tech support guy aka my husband
  • Spending the evening with friends that I had not seen in months. I went to the baby shower of a friend of mine that moved away. It was so great getting out of the house on my own and getting to scare (just kidding) a first time mother to be.
Now all I have to do is finish my laundry so that we can pack for out trip. We are leaving tomorrow so I have plenty of time, right?

I just wanted to let all your loyal readers know that your sainted mother sent that yarn and planted those daffodils. (Not to toot my own horn or anything like that- Im still as humble as ever)

This post made me smile :). 70 degree temps? I'm jealous! We're having a high of about 35 today ~ yippee! Never mind all the snow and ice that is covering the ground everywhere you step or drive :(. I sure could use an hour in my garden right about now to cure my winter blahs.

:0)

I don't mind that it's still in the 30s. I'm not even jealous that you've got warm weather.

I'm just tired of seeing all the dirty snow. And a daffodil or two would be nice.

We should get crocus in about a month.

Glad you had such a great day!

I'm so out of it, I didn't know you were going on a trip! Or did I?
