Citrus Action

As I was cleaning my bathroom, I pulled out the Fresh Brush toilet scrubbers and noticed that they had a pleasant new scent. Then I flipped the package over to see if, you know, maybe I shouldn't be sniffing these things. Well there was no warning about not inhaling too deeply while cleaning your toilet, but it did warn quite vehemently DO NOT USE FOR PERSONAL HYGIENE! So that's why my skin is so dried out! I've been scrubbing my face with a toilet brush for the past month.

Spring Cleaning

As yesterday was the first day of spring and I just so happened to have a free moment today, I thought it was high time to do some spring cleaning. Of the website, that is. I'm sure you must be overjoyed to see that this page is no longer filled with posts from January, that the links are now a wonderful shade of green, and that a prickly caterpillar has made himself at home up top.

Nothing terribly exciting has been going on here lately, aside from spring break last week. Perhaps you would like to see pictures?

On the first day of spring break (and for the first time all year, nonetheless) we had snow! We got about 5 inches, and that's a lot for us. Around here, when so much as an inch of snow is in the forecast everybody makes a mad dash for Wal*Mart in a panic to buy groceries. Because, who knows? What if we got snowed in?

I, on the other hand, experience a severe retrogression of mental function in the presence of snow. Can we go outside? Do you have a sled at your house?? Should I make a snow angel??? Do you think I could slide down that hill with my pants???? I had lofty ambitions of building my first real snowman (as in, the kind that doesn't reach only to your kneecaps), but soon realized that the snow was too dry. Instead, I brought to life...a snow turtle!

When we went to Jackson later in the week Matt had his second birthday party, which included a very chocolatey cake.

And then, since the camera was already out, why don't we take pictures? Silly ones! I will abstain from displaying the less attractive of the silly pictures, particularly those of Granny. Oh, and that video of Matt pretending to be an axolotl.
