1st day of spring, no school...

It doesn't feel like I accomplished much today on paper, but I feel really good. I am not on the roof, but definitely out of the hole!

It was the 1st day off school for spring break, the first day of spring and it really feels like it here! Oh so sunny and even warm!!! Yippee!!!

I got some house work done, had the teenager climb into the attic and find the Easter box decorations that I couldn't find on my own last week; took one of the dogs for a walk; took myself for a different longer walk; got some of my work done in my office; a little laundry done; took the teenager golfing; I got some teenager to do some really past due chores he hadn't gotten done due to a busy golf schedule; I really focused on a better healthier eating plan for myself; and got my Easter decorations put out.

I really want to go pull out my spring/summer clothes that are packed up... it is so exciting pulling them out and finding new things to wear. I am so happy my sister taught me this habit of switching out my clothes in my closet twice a year. It's hard to just start it, but now I would never go back to keeping everything in my closet all year again. I hadn't done my shoes in the past, but last fall I packed up all my sandals with my clothes too, so I am really excited about finding some new shoes to wear. I love shoes!

No pictures, I am in a photo funk!

I hope I get over this quickly, photos totally make the journaling experience!

Spring babies...

I love spring babies!

Theme song ~ for ALL the money!

Yesterday, I went to visit my friend who suffered a stroke in December. I was nervous, it had been a long time since we were together. I hadn't seen her at all during the past few months of her recovery. But the minute we were together, it was like no time had passed. So awesome! We communicated perfectly.

She is still working on her speech recovery and still has some trouble finding words. It's like all her words are in filing cabinets in her head and some are used allot, so they are readily available. But some get stuck in locked cabinets and she knows they are in there, but just can't get to them to use them. She knows immediately when she grabs the wrong word.

Yesterday she had me laughing out loud! She would be telling me all about something, and then get stuck trying to find one of those locked up words... then... I would hear her humming? At first I was confused and thought she had lost her focus, then I realized it was the theme song from "Jeapordy"!!! It was so hilarious... she is so whitty, I was cracking up. She totally knew it was like being in the quiet moment trying to come up with the correct answer for ALL the money when they play the famous theme music!
