SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Don't' you just love how Michigan heralds Spring. I am carrying umbrella, gloves and ice scraper in the car. All could be used in the course of a few days. Love the fricking April showers, la da da, but enough already. The flowers, grass, trees and robins are literally jumping out of their skins with all the fickle sunshine, rain and arbitrary temperatures. Renewal. Sometimes I wasn't sure it was going to happen with all the doom and gloom every day, but the world keeps clicking regardless of our "temporary" disasters. Actually there is a certain comfort in knowing that what Man and Woman kind does in the course of human events, the world will do its thing despite our best efforts.

Dad finally held his Spring soiree. Lots of good eats and cutthroat poker. Well at least it is to me. For those who don't know, I hate to lose. Whether it be a card game or a fight to the death. The world loves a winner. Which is why the Burt man said "don't' be giving sportsmanlike advice to Kristen". Bahh. Who wants to come in second. Pretty funny though as I browbeat Colleen into "just play the cards, show us your third degree burn at the break". I'm such an itch-bay. She is so sweet, but I really feel bad when I can see her cards every time she holds up her hand. Did I take advantage, well duhhhh....

Marcie starts in my building next week! Crazy! Should be fun, so I guess I better clean up my Dilbert cube to look organized. Heck who am I kidding? You leave everything out so you don't forget it. Remember the days when secretaries did your filing and kept your schedule. Pulling out whatever backup material you needed for the day's assignments? Yeah fig newton of my imagination too. Wish I hadn't wasted my time doing those things as administrative when I could have been listening to my IPOD and texting my buddies. Sigh. Actually not a bad day and feeling pretty good. No swine flu here......
