Spring has Sprung

In an attempt to become a real blogger, I've decided to try and start blogging on a daily basis. Even if it's just random rambling. Which most of my blog entries are anyway-some entries being more coherent than others.

Today's coherent entry is just random excitement that spring is here! This past weekend, the residents of our nation's capitol were able to expose skin that the sun has not seen in awhile, and finally get some doses of vitamin D that being snowed into our house for weeks almost succumbed us all to Rickets. It was a glorious weekend, and as we took the little cherubs to the park, my excitement for warm days ahead of us, was even more fueled by the dogwoods blooming in Lincoln Park, and being reunited with old friends at the playground. Yes, glorious spring.

Another sign for me that Spring is springing- is that we have begun our weekend ritual of trekking over to our neighborhood Mexican restaurant for chips, and most importantly- MARGARITAS! Pitchers and pitchers of glorious tequila and lime, to both make me feel tropical and to cure that pesky case of rickets I developed in February. These forays for liquid cheer, usually involve meeting friends to help us make the pitchers disappear. And being as tonights Margarita madness happened on a Sunday night, it gives me the strength to get through another week.

Thank you Spring for arriving, and none to late, to touch my soul with sunshine and 'ritas. Mmmm spring!
