    It's Spring outside!!! ----A rant!!!!

    Okay, Seattle's supposed to be cloudy and/or rainy this time of year, not absolutely gorgeous! How am I supposed to get the blasted report cards done when the weather is saying, "Come out and play. Come out and play. Come out and play" to me? When I'm supposed to be focused and get these d@$% things done, I find myself watching my neighbors work in their yard, the birds on my deck, and the boughs swaying in the gentle breeze.

    Okay. Thanks for "listening" to my rant. It's back to work. grumble, grumble, grumble, grumble

    It was a beautiful day here too. We had all the windows open to enjoy a gentle breeze, and the kids spent a good deal of time outside enjoying their fanciful play in nature's bosom. If tomorrow is as nice, I think I'll don my bikini (something I'll ONLY wear in my own backyard) and spend a little time producing Vitamin D. I am sun deprived.

    I hope this beautiful weather lasts throughout my spring break (which is now). It will help me relax and refresh so I can return to work with a newfound youthfulness and spunk.

    Sorry you have to work on pretty days. Do you have a laptop where you can do your work outside?
    I've heard that four out of every three people have trouble with fractions.

    No. I supposed I could have moved my computer outside (I have an iMac), but not sure that would have been any better. I would have probably spent time watching the birds more, the squirrels, and watching all the kids go by.
    Just need to buckle up and get it done.

    Glad you are having good weather for your break! Enjoy your family and yourself. Hope you do get to go out in your bikini tomorrow and more days over your break. Have fun doing some more reading to your kids!

    Sorry-- and I hate acronym-spewers, normally.

    MWSF= MacWorld SanFrancisco.....where macmacs from around the world meet (in January of every year) and see Steve Jobs unveil new products and innovations, and see all the thirdparty software and products, maybe make a side trip to Cupertino (the mother ship) and just BE among other macmacs....

    I wanna goooooooooooo
