Spring has Sprung :-)

It seems like EVERYBODY's on Spring Break... or have just had Spring Break... well, except for me!!! I miss having Spring Break... driving to the beach (jam-packed with crazy kids... mostly drunk, but hey, that's what Spring Breaks are for!!!), sleeping in, watching MTV's Spring Break special, Panama City!!! *Sigh* Those were the days... haha!

Anyways, Spring is definitely here--it officially started last Wednesday (Vernal Equinox in the NorthWestern Hemispehere)! Though, today, feels more like summer, but that's what we get for living in the "Sunshine State" :-) Most of my co-workers took the week off for family Spring Break fun. I'm the only one in the office with no kids (for now), so I was stuck at work, thinking of how much fun the rest of them were having... LOL! Oh well... 1 more month until our next vacation... 2 weeks of no work! Yay! Can't wait...

So, to pick up from where I left off... We went to Madison last Saturday for another shooting camp! My sister Kathryn and her bestfriend Shelley tagged along! Spencer came with us too with his new BB gun! His old one broke so dad bought him another one just so he could take it to Madison. I think the girls really had fun shooting the weapons. I was amazed at their courage!!! I could only go as far as the rifle, but those two went all the way from pistols to shooting AK-47s and Machine Guns!!! Those things could do some serious damage (well, not only can they kill you in one shot, they can ruin your eardrums big time)! I wish I brought my camera because there were some really funny moments, like when Shelley and Kat were posing as insurgents... LOL! Well, I think after the experience, Kat is determined to get her own pistol... Thanks A LOT, Rob!!! See what you've started? Anyways, she wants a gold one like the one Borat was attempting to buy in the movie... LOL!

On Sunday, I finally planted my hydrangeas, packed them with pine straws and watered our lawn. We still have to reseed the grass on the front and back and we're going to install a sprinkler system with an auto-timer sometime soon (yeah, I'm too lazy to water the plants!)... So things are starting to look much better with the yard. It seems like we can do the demo on the deck when we get back from Canada, so we can start building our patio! I already have some great design ideas, so I'm really really looking forward to it!

This week was pretty relaxed. After work, Rob and I usually head to the gym or walk around our neighborhood. We only missed last night because it was mom's birthday yesterday. Rob and I rode his motorcycle for the first time in almost a year!!! We then went to dinner at the Wharf (formerly Manna's on Thomasville Rd). They have some great dishes and the broiled oysters are awesome (I totally recommend this one) and Rob says he likes their Mahi-mahi stuffed with Crab meat! Or was it Grouper??? After dinner, we had TCBY's Peanut Butter fudge ice cream cake... it just melts in your mouth... so good! My diet is ruined, but hey it was mom's birthday so it was really worth-it!

Well, I'm waiting for Rob to get home from work--as I write--to go to Gold's gym. Kat and Kevin are meeting us there! I think Kat wants to play Racquetball tonight, which has been Rob's thing lately besides weight-lifting. Me? I just love the elliptical... I don't think I'll ever get tired of doing it :-) Let's hope not!!! Then, it's off to dinner after that (I'm thinking "One Stir Fry" maybe?)! We'll see what the others say!

Speaking of being on SB... It's Kevin's Spring Break, so we're heading to Panama City or Destin tomorrow... If the water's too cold, there's always lots of outlet malls to go shopping and other things to do... Hope you guys have a great weekend :-) !!!
