Bits and pieces
A few quick thoughts:
1. I must be starting to feel like a "local" because I left my car running yesterday morning at the gas station while I ran in to get some breakfast.
2. I'm looking forward to being pretty productive at work this week because it is spring break. My commute home was also 5-10 minutes shorter because traffic around campus was so much lighter.
3. I think I'm getting travel fever. I have no idea where I would want to go but I occassionally get this yearning for a trip. Then, I remember that I have a four-month old.
4. Thanks to a daily indulgence message I get from Ivillage, I've discovered a new website. www.doonenicething.com. The site provides ideas of nice things to do for other people, some that cost no money. The idea is to improve our feelings about Mondays by doing something nice. I think it just might boost my mood in general.
5. Does anyone else actually get/make time for true spring cleaning anymore? I remember my mother taking things out of the rooms, moving them around and deep cleaning. I would love to do this but somehow don't make time. By the time I think about it, it is time for fall cleaning and vise versa. Maybe I'll have to take a day off of work to actually do this. It makes me cringe to think about using a vacation day to clean.

Careful with habit number one - don't want someone to drive off with your car! I guess it happens a lot around here, isn't that sad? I'll have to check out that website you mentioned, thanks for sharing! As for spring cleaning...well, I don't think I move everything around, but I do notice that as soon as I open the windows in the spring and let the fresh air blast in, I do have an insane urge to go crazy with the windex and dust rags. Our mutual friend J (wisconsin) takes days off to clean sometimes and she feels uber productive. I know sometimes I need those days just to tackle my piles of papers! A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! :) As for vacation....I think we all have that fever right now! I've been obsessing over Hawaii. It will be a while before I go there...

Whoa, are you kidding me? Taking a vacation day to just clean the house IS my idea of a vacation! But then, I'm strange, so....
