Spring fever

Is it too late to catch spring fever? Because I think I've got it.

The sound of birds chirping in my ears, sunshine in the first time for forever, and the inexplicable urge to jump up and down, outside, all day, even though its a work day. This is what happens in New England when spring doesn't show up until summer. Spring fever hits late.

I almost entitled this post "Karma" though, because today it feels like there is some good chi floating around. Here are some examples:

1) S got to test drive a GT premium. And got the dealer to lower it's price to the cost of a regular GT!! We'll see...

2) S also has a working computer again for the first time in two weeks, and he has the day off after having to work overtime this past weekend. So the mood of S (and therefore the mood of D) is at a near all time high.

3) D found a discounted room in Stowe, Vermont for Memorial Day Weekend. What's so great about Stowe? It was one of the first east coast areas to let boarders on the mountain. And it's beautiful this time of year too!

4) D and S are going to explore Stowe and Burlington in four days, in addition to visiting the Burton Flagship store, where there will be S and D's favorite things - free food, drink, and snowboards! Ah.

5) Free substance abuse webinar tomorrow on a really interesting topic (I know - "I am nerd, here me roar!"). But this also means that I get to get my geek on while working at home tomorrow. There's almost nothing better than that.

6) I got treated to lunch and complimented on my proposal (for a conference, not a marriage, mind you!) by my boss and his wife.

Need I go on?

Today is a good day. A funky day. A day I hope extends at least until this long weekend I hear we are having to celebrate the start of summer!
