I am really liking the sunshine and the promise of spring these past few days... but, what I really want to talk about is March (madness)!
This month is promising to be busier than ever, which is great [especially during this last long month of winter]. Some highlights:
We had company last weekend, Megan and Eric R. came into town Saturday night. We were also were able to see some of our local friends, which is always fun...
Next weekend, a few more of our friends are coming down (Megan & Aaron)--they will not be staying with us, but it certainly would be fun to see them...
The following weekend, my sister comes into town...
And the weekend after that, my parents (and a few siblings?) are making the trek across state lines to come and stay with us for a few days...
Finally, the last weekend of the month, will be busy with local things...
So, aside from all of this I have the following lofty goals for this month:
1. Finish taxes.
2. Purchase a few shower gifts.
3. Go through our clothes. Figure out what things we need for spring, and purchase. And figure out what we need to donate, discard, etc.
4. Register to take the MCAT this spring or summer.
5. Make the curtains for our bedroom, the bathroom, and the living room. This is a "project" that I have been meaning to do for a while, but now that it is getting lighter out in the morning & I removed the temporary light shields from our room... I need to do this if I ever plan to sleep past 7:30 AM on the weekends.

I know that it is Megan and Aaron that are coming into town this weekend... ! :) We look forward to seeing them! :)
It's SPRING! This morning on my way out the driveway, I noticed that our magnolia tree is starting to get leaf buds... and so is the lilac, and likewise a few other flora in our yard. Also, it was 70 this afternoon! So, I drove with the convertible top down on my way home from work. I am ready for daylight savings, and I am optimistic that all of winter's white has left!
Happy Fat Tuesday! Above are pictured Paczki (pronounced Poonch-key)'s-- the traditional Polish filled-doughnut served on Fat Tuesday. I picked these up, still hot, Monday night at the local doughnut shop ([town I live in] Donut's). Until I moved states, I had never experienced the deliciousness of a Paczki. This is a day that I can certainly get behind -- Who doesn't like an excuse to eat a doughnut!?! Enjoy your day!
Although we've had a few tantalizing glimpses of spring recently, I am reminded today that February is still a winter month. It has been snowing all day. Pete ran an errand this morning, and reported that the road conditions were not good. So, we've had a very relaxing day at home.
Happy Valentine's day! Here are some little snippets of the day at my house (L : gritty photo-- Fruit & Flowers tea stewing, M- Roses from Pete, R: Angel Food Cake -- served last night @ dinner with strawberries & whipped cream - yum!)
I hope your day was spent with the ones you love!
