I've reached it, you guys. I have reached the point that I am now staring at my grass every day, wishing it would get green already and hoping for an early Spring. I need color.  I can't wait to be able to plant flowers and sit out on the patio on a sunny afternoon, soaking in the warmth.

I always go get flowers too early and then there is inevitably a freeze and they all die or never grow to their potential. So this year, Dustin says I can't plant flowers until after Mother's Day. (probably some old wives tale he heard from some person that doesn't appreciate the necessity of colorful yard). I told him to kiss-it. There will be flowers in full bloom in my yard by May 1st. You watch and see. Hmmph.

Also, we didn't build our raised garden beds last fall. Mostly, because I didn't even ask Dustin to do it, but also because I just didn't feel up to it. Now I am regretting it. Its not too late, right?

We have a nursery, ladies and gentleman!!

 Go Dustin! Go!

The crib.

It should be noted that Dustin picked out the crib, ALL of the bedding, and changing table cover complete with a diaper bag. All for an outstanding deal. (Way to go, babe!) Also, he painted the entire room and most of that tree. I taped off the main parts of the tree, but he came in and really did the details. Lets just say, I am NOT the artsy one in the family. What would I do without him? Not paint any trees, that for sure. ;)

I get to pick up my new glasses today!! I think they are just the right combination between cute and nerdy.  I haven't had new glasses since high school, so I was due for a pair. I have to say, however, that it is ROBBERY what they charge these days for glasses and contacts. Who do they think I am? Bill Gates?  Lets just say, its a good thing that I don't need new glasses every year in combination with my contacts. Sheesh.
