I can FEEL it

I frickin' love daylight savings! So what you have to get up an hour early (go to bed an hour early, dumbass) IT IS LIGHT IN THE EVENING!!! I can't even explain what a difference it has made for me. I had all of this energy after work and even though I wasn't outside, I felt like I should keep busy because it was light out and it was awesome. Like now, for example, it's 9:30 AND I've had some wine, tends to make me sleepy, and actually I couldn't be more refreshed. Heck, I haven't even changed out of my work clothes... oh my, what is wrong with me?? Dan always gives Doug & I crap for changing into our pajamas at 5:30, today I don't think I'll change into them until I go to bed!!

I made a deal with Mother Nature, yesterday, I said how 'bout no more days with a high under freezing? and looking at the 7-day forecast it looks like she may be holding up her end of the bargain.

Mom and I should take a day off to bust up ice and watch the rushing, melted snow rivers (I'm sorta' serious).
