Bye bye Facebook, Hello Spring!

I deactivated my facebook account last month.  General reaction to this was "WHAAAA??" and "Oh good, cause I thought you defriended me."  I don't miss it as much as I thought I would.  I love my friends, but now I catch up with them the old fashioned way, I text them :-)  I haven't been tempted to go back to it.  Really, I like the thought of being a little less plugged in.  I've been enjoying life for realisies. 
Painting Pottery instead of facebooking
Visiting Estes Park and waiting for my dad while he grocery shops... instead of facebooking.
 And did you notice?  Spring is coming... all muddy and windswept and budding it caught me by surprise. 
I caught the awful chest cold blarghy madness last week, and now I am emerging into 60 degree weather and daffodils.  I needed that.  Right now, all my windows are open and I am letting the sounds of life come in.

It is a good cure for the mean Sundays.  Another cure for that is going to the big red box store and indulging on free samples of waffles and chocolate filled cereal.  I love going through the dollar section and finding silly Easter decorations and ready-to-grow plants.  I also indulged in a new pair of pajamas (they were on sale, and I like sleeping fashionably).  My point is that Sundays are always my hardest day, the weekend is over and I'm gearing up again.  But it doesn't have to be so meh. 
Mini roses on sale at Safeway!  How cute are these??
Basil, forget-me-nots, and a joshua tree.... germinatin'
So what are the lessons for this March Marvelousness?  Maybe I've learned to be okay letting the meh in, give it a cup of tea, maybe some ginger snaps.  Just as long as it takes the hint I'm sending and knows when to take it's leave.  I've got things to do.
