A bouquet makes it OK

The winter has been slowly crawling along. When March feels like December, it's especially exhausting. More light at the end of the day helps tremendously, but all I want to do is run around on green grass. So, to bring some summer into my home, I've been investing in fresh flowers. It reminds me that there is life out there, somewhere. Just not in Rochester.



The ladies and I ran the 5 mile race on St. Patty's Day in Rochester, which, honestly was one of the highlights of the last few months. Suffering together makes friendships strong. I'd love to have all of my friends together here. I miss the ones that are far away, especially when it's cold and all I want to do is curl up on the couch with coffee and an old friend.

Latest obsessions: Making-jewelry, eating Cadbury Chocolate eggs (not the gooey ones), running more often, and searching for houses.

I officially have a real-estate agent and if it's meant to be, I'll be living in my very own house by the end of the summer. It's such a HUGE move that I can barely talk about it with anyone. It's like the shell of my plans will crack if I say "house" too many times. I'm just really excited.

A less happy note- I will never have Easter with my dad's side of the family again. They ate without me on Sunday. I arrived at the time my mom told me we'd be eating, but everyone decided to eat early and nobody called me to let me in on the plans. And then they badgered me for being "late". My mom didn't have the balls to tell them that she told me to arrive at the time I did, instead, she just let me take the embarrassment by myself.

But on a happier note, I had the day off of work today. So I spent it stewing.
