This and That

I am getting ready for several things today:

1. Spring. It is here and just lovely outside. Only problem is that 70 percent of my perennials were hit with a hard freeze this winter and are not showing signs of life. So, I am starting over essentially which pains me because landscaping is not cheap, especially perennials. I am starting with my planters and will add to the ground over the next month or so.

2. My trip to Wyoming (without boys). I am leaving on a ridiculously early flight Saturday morning and will be hanging out with Granddad for a whole week. My mom will be in DC with about 20 10-year-olds, chasing them around our capital. I will also get to see my sister and lovely little niece Colter. So, before I go... Laundry needs done, suitcase needs packed, bills paid, birthday cards sent, fish tank cleaned, annual exam completed, RSVPs to weddings and birthday parties, etc...

3. A birthday. I am turning 35 on Sunday. It is hard for me to believe that I am halfway through my 30s. Honestly I feel as though I am still in my 20s... Notice I said "feel", not so much look. However, I plan to work on a little age reversal this year. I am going to try a much talked about skin care line. My sister is using it... My friends are using it... And I hate to be the last to get in on a good thing. My girlfriend Kacie is a rep... So if you are interested in the latest and greatest or just need a new skin care routine look her up... Rodan + Fields

4. And lastly... Round 3 of March Madness. Tonight the dance starts back up. I am currently in 1st place but unfortunately the team I had winning is out. While I love to see an underdog win, I don't enjoy it as much when I don't have them on my bracket. Damn you Kansas!!

Caeden asks:

What sort of things does the green gun (in the header) shoot?

Fire? Bombs? Or what?

What are you going to try from R+F?

Birthday girl! We need to celebrate. Which means I need to find my way to Gillette.

Love you!

Tell him it is actually to suck up bugs and then view under a microscope. Pretty cool!
Hope to see you too. Kacie may be there on that Thursday through the weekend. Perhaps we could make it work...
R+F--Definitely the anti-aging maybe a bit of reverse (with a little blemish control). Hell, I need it all!!

If you want to feel like you're 21 again come sit at the cart on the Pearl Street Mall for a while.

Actually, you'd probably ask yourself the same question I ask myself: what am I doing here at this age?

Have a happy birthday and an enjoyable trip.
