Snow and Bird Nest

snow. yes snow on March 26th. we woke up to snow after we've welcomed spring. but a light snow. the car doors were frozen though.

then i came home and spotted straw on the front porch through the window. i opened the door thinking the birds may be making a nest above the porch lights as they've done in the past but no the nest is in the winter wreath i haven't taken down yet. well i can't very well upset their home now. can i still turn the porch light on when it turns dark? i pulled a chair over and took a looksy. no birdie eggs yet. hopefully they will choose us though. i'm not going to look for a few days and see what happens.

last day of work today for spring break. big plans. i'm not traveling south this year. of course i'm having second thoughts because i said if i do indeed stay home i'm going to "take a staycation" and scrap all week. well i've already got plans for 3 of the 7 days. but they are plans with friends and family that i don't normally make time for so i'm hoping i enjoy it and don't feel too structured.

2010 Goals Progress

Plan: #1 goal this week is to pull the plan back out and try to stick to it a little better... ok a lot better so i can get back on track

Quiet: boys have been working to get the boat back in the water before tournament time so i've had some quiet time. the turmoil in my prof life has not been so quiet but i can only control so much.

Meals: #2 goal this week is to get back on track to lose the winter weight by beach/reunion time

Read: still reading Blue Bloods- i do like it, crave it b/c it sucks you in (no vampyre pun intended) but it's so commercial it won't be a favorite. i really like finding that YA novel that is addictive, and fast moving, but also has more of a literary quality to it. i know we all need fluff sometimes but they can find that anywhere, right? also plugging on through the review stack. now reading a diet book. i can't think of the title i'll have to write about it tomorrow.

Create: goal #3 this week. learning to expand on some blog elements, catch up scrapbooking some, framing photos, and making some quick cards

Exercise: yikes. i can feel how bad its gotten so this goes along with goal #2 for the week. i'm going to use some of those videos and equipment my sis gave me.

Spending: we ate at a small restaurant after work. the food was really just ok. i'm getting tired of just ok food. bc i was out so late last night no packed lunch. so carry out chili. not the best but it was alright tasting. not worth the calories.
