Our snow is starting to melt! I think Mark's a little sad that he's working on putting up the snowmobile for the summer, but is excited that he's gotten to use it as much as he has. Since we live out in the middle of nowhere (kind of), there are snowmobile tracks all along the side of the roads. I haven't noticed people out riding on the way to work in the morning, but it appears that there are a lot of snowmobilers that have been out and about.
It got up in the 40s yesterday and I wore a skirt to work for the first time in like 3 or 4 months. I've gotten tired of wearing the same pairs of pants everyday. And, I was walking around without a coat for awhile. It's beautiful. Last night, I thought it was raining. But when I looked outside, it was just the snow melting on the roof and dripping by the front door.
It's 7:43 am and it's already sunny out and 33. Could it be spring?! I've really enjoyed the snow, but I think I'm ready to be able to do some things outdoors without freezing my butt off. :)
Maranda had the day off from school yesterday and she went over to a friend's house and spent the night. Mark was at work and didn't get home until Midnight. And, what did I do with my exciting evening? I went to the grocery store, gave myself a pedicure, watched What Not to Wear and read Newsweek. Am I old, or what? She's got Monday off, too. It's their version of Spring Break here. The college still has another week until spring break. Apparently, the drinking behavior for St. Patrick's Day was so problematic in past years, that they've scheduled spring break to include St. Patty's Day. I guess it's a Catholic thing. ;)
I'm planning on taking a few days off over spring break to work on my dissertation proposal. Maranda and I are planning to head to Lincoln for the NWU commencement in May. It would be nice if I could do my dissertation proposal for my committee at the same time.
Well, I should probably be somewhat productive with my day. Don't forget that Daylight Savings Time goes into effect this weekend. I hope you're all enjoying spring, too!
