Spring

For those of you who live in the U.S. where the winter season produces snow, congrats on making it to the first official day of Spring 2007. There is something about this time of year that always makes me feel more energetic and gets my brain going at full steam thinking about all of the things I want to do now that it's warmer. And of course this year is just that much worse since I've been recovering from back surgery for the last month and have been itching to get back into a normal routine.

So what ambitions do I have for this Spring?

• Clean up/reorganize the garage
• Clean the front entry of our house
• Take out some existing plants and put in some new ones (With approval from our Architectual Review Committee, of course. Luckily B is one of three members.)
• Make a run to IKEA in Pittsburgh - take either my brother and his girlfriend, or maybe our friends across the street. Make it into a fun outing.
• Work with my mom to paint the upstairs rooms in our house.
• Start playing the piano again.
• Continue looking for a new job.
• Go to D.C. to visit B's family and see a few sites.
• Get through the healing process from the surgery so by the time Summer hits I'll be feeling great!

What is everyone else planning for their Spring?
