Bye, Bye, Bye-Nsync

Today was a totally awesome day into night
I sit on my porch with a glass of wine
and remember the last time I was probably out here

It was October and I sat next to a scarecrow
sipping and smoking
and thinking of the fall
and winter to come

And now I sit in the same spot
The temperature is approximatly the same
around 60 degrees
yet I listen to snow melting...
dripping into a nearby sewer
...and anticipate spring
into SUMMER

I got a whole bunch of stuff done today
started with a hot bath
and on to the bookstore

Sat with a friend for coffee
and truly enjoyed the company
...came home
opened some windows in the kitchen

the only downer of the day was the teen coming home from a morning of t-shirt snowboarding
a bit early...
only because his Burton board got trashed
on a rail
$400 of his own hard earned money
down the drain...like the melting snow. :(

Got online and ordered some tickets to the much looked forward to Psychedelic Furs concert coming to town. Planning to go with friends that I had over last night. Gonna have some fun at that one!!

Hopped in the car on to a trip to a local tech store
to get a new digital camera
(Maybe now I can use it with my iBook
and compose a few of these Blogs with some of my very own pics)

Walked for an hour and a half with my neighbor...
the parkway was crowded with bikes, walkers, rollerbladers, dogs...and puddles, but it was so much fun to be out and about...just yaking and walking and drinking bottled water (lots of it)!!!

Did a bit of grocery shopping at about 5pm...the day was just too full to get there any sooner...and I procrastinated as long as I could. Bumped into several friends and more neighbors there...talked to the Wine Guy as well.
Was inspired to cook by my Bookstore Buddy and made some great chicken breasts on the grill with angel hair pasta/red peppers/asparagus on the side. Garlic and Olive Oil drenched!

Now I sit composing the events of my day...
But truly a Great One

Hope the kids at school tommorow are happy. I know that I am...so happy to see the snow melt and get on with a Spring in my step!

And to you dear winter...

"Don't really wanna make it tough,
I just wanna tell you that I had enough.
It might sound crazy,
But it ain't no lie,
Baby, bye, bye, bye"
