Spring Break

About damn time.  It’s 2:00 on the Friday of our university’s Spring Break and I’m getting ready to Go Enjoy It!!!  Yeah, babbbeeeee!!!

You’d think that we professors would get to enjoy a little break from school.  But you’d think wrong!  I have worked my booty off this week.  And finally, at 2:00, although I have more work I can do, I’m going to take the afternoon off and do some chores. 

It is an absolutely gorgeous day in the mid 70’s and we’re going to do some plantin’ and some paintin’ this weekend and I need to go get prepped for this.  We will be updating the master bathroom and you can check here for our progress.  Right now, you can only see the hideous colors from yesteryear.  That is, unfortunately, not going to be changed, because we cannot afford it!  But we’re going to try to make the rest of it work with a new coat of paint and some kicky accessories. 

We’re also going to finish putting in our pink Lenten roses in the shade garden (that now I’m worried is not shady enough) and plant three (or more!) blueberry bushes!!  The asparagus continues to grow, and I’m documenting this year’s landscaping and gardening, here.  Why?  Well, because I can.  And it’s nice to see how everything changes.  The strawberry plants have flowers on them, too, so we may get berries this year.  Yippee!!!  Can I just say, once again, God Bless Perennials.  It is a buttload easier to plant once and then reap for years than to plant and plant and plant and plant and freakin’ plant again. 

OK. Off to be free to be me before I go pick up the little guy and smooch him on the head.
