This is my very LEAST FAVORITE time of year. It's called "break up." That means that it's finally getting warm enough during the day for some of the snow to melt. That also means that EVERYTHING is a MESS! The roads have pot holes and lots of water on them, AND it's IMPOSSIBLE to keep your car looking half way decent. So....most of us have very dirty cars right now. It still freezes at night, so it takes a while in the morning to warm up.
The other night I was coming home from work and I could see all the water being splashed in the other lane, that I was trying to avoid. But...I don't know where this car came from, but he came zooming by me and splashed my car and windows and made it VERY difficult to see for a second or two, until I quick panicking and turned on my windshield wipers. :)
AAWWW, I feel better.
I usually don't like to write negative things but...I did this time. Sorry--do you feel sorry for me yet? Just kidding.
Other than that, I am VERY THANKFUL for the WARMER temperatures and MORE sunlight. Here it is 8:00 pm and the sun is just now going down. It's wonderful!! Angel and I had a nice walk this evening after I got home from work. We were able to go, but only on the trails of packed snow. I posted one of the pictures on my blog recently. You can go back and see if you want to. It was a beautiful day when I took the picture.
Vaughn is still with us temporally, still working, and we're thankful for that. Tom & I both still have our jobs and looking forward to the day when we can be closer to family. (About 6 more years) unless something unforeseen changes for us.
After I got back from our walk, I used some of the HOT green chilies that I brought back from Arizona, to make a beef enchilada casserole. It's very tasty, and also one of Vaughn's favorites.
Tom had made some corn beef and cabbage last Sunday that was pretty tasty also, but it's almost all gone, since I shared it with some gals from work.
This also brings a time in my life that I struggle with, quit often. I'm not really sure even how to describe it. Have you ever felt like you should be doing something more with your life, but...something is keeping you from doing it? Well...that's how I feel. I think about doing something, and yet don't "just do it." Then I feel guilty and fight with depression. So, here is the real me.

I love you Aunt JoAnn. :) Thanks for being "real" with us. I can imagine that "break up" would be a real bummer...and to have it every year too..yuk! That's how I feel about our really hot summers. But isn't it true that the flowers will soon be in bloom and you will post the amazing colors on your blog again this year?!
As for your feelings of not doing enough with your life. I have them too. I imagine most people do. It is a nagging feeling. I'm curious what it is you're thinking you should do? For me, it's to love people more in more tangible ways, like help out my extended family more and be more generous with my time and money. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks Laurie-I love you too, and I'm missing everyone right now also. I'll let you know more later. Yes, the flowers will be here in about 2 months. :)
