Spring is coming! Spring is coming! Spring is coming!



Spring will be here shortly.  I totally promise.  I was thinking today, the first day of Spring is March 20th which just so happens to be 26 days from now -- less than 4 weeks from now!!!  Hip hip hooray!  No more close-toed shoes.  Sandals and flip-flops.  Pretty toes.  I heart Spring.  :)  


I would like to go on record as saying -- I have a very bad feeling that if we have a real winter next year, we are all going to be such wimps about it.  I mean, really, can these 40 degree days even be counted as "winter"? Tomorrow the temperature is going to be in the high 40's and sunny.  Two words:  PICNIC LUNCH!!!!  That's right -- the girl with curly hair is going to take her fluff-reading (Yes, I have started a 5th book...I know, I know...5 books!!!!) and her lunch and sit outside.  Vitamin D, fresh air, sunshine...(sigh)  There's nothing better than eating lunch outside.  Well...that's a lie.  Eating lunch outside with a good book and some Dove dark chocolate.  See how I did that -- threw in some Dove and a good book...TA-DA!  Glorious day!!!


Oh - today I had a totally Space Cadet moment.  Well, technically I had two...right in a row.  My first moment was in an email that I sent to a friend that read, "Today is the last Thursday in February!!!  True story!!!"  Unbeknownst to me -- that was a big, fat lie.  It is only Wednesday.  Duh!  My second moment came when I told a guy (over the phone) to bring in his coversheet to swap out the old and I would be at my desk until atleast 1 p.m.  The story took a turn for the worse when my stomach growled at circa 12:40 AND I had just finished reading an online article about eating when you feel hungry.  Danger-danger.  Thankfully another co-worker overheard me telling this guy that I would be at my desk and sure, he could bring in the corrected coversheets.  


"Why is Angie a Space Cadet?" you ask.  Great question!  I read today in the Idiot's Guide to Gluten-Free Living (loving the title!!!) that eating gluten can cause fatigue, flu-like icky symptoms, headache, and "flighty" moments.  There you have it -- my Space Cadet moments might be brought on because of the gluten.  Sooooooooooo I've decided to keep a food journal and write down what I've consumed and how I feel for the day.  It's going to take some work but I am curious to see if this is my problem.  Just think -- I could be 100% sans gluten and maybe not a Space Cadet.  Who would've thunk?  


Perhaps sans gluten will turn me into a (thank you to the crazy celebrity who said this description outloud) "Rocket Surgeon."  I don't even want to tell you WHO said it...but just know, it was a know-it-all who thought she was sounding soo educated.  Nice.  Really nice, huh?  Use it -- Rocket Surgeon!  It's kinda funny.  We use it at work and then we bust-up laughing.  Rocket Surgeon.  This famous person totally broke Fun Angie Rule #7:  Be careful what you say outloud.  People are listening.  Also, the earlier email Thursday-really-Wednesday issue broke Rule #6:  Be careful what you put into writing -- i.e. blog posts, emails, etc.


Tootles!!!
