Happy Thursday, STalkers! I've been having a hectic week for pretty much the entire month. Ish. Hope yours is going well!

I am thankful for:

• The usual: a good job, a reliable car, and a solid roof over my head.
   
• My sister, who made Mom's spaghetti sauce and gave us half. It's always a little bittersweet making/eating one of Mom's special recipes.
   
• Actually getting back some money from the IRS. Woo hoo!!!
   
• My DH. Lord, I love that hardworking, frequently tired, curmudgeony, sexy man. <3

It's a Tubby Tuesday for me. Insomnia has me tightly in its grasp and I'm struggling to maintain my focus and energy.

Who likes cycling? It's Spring and everything is coming alive (well, it some parts of the country...). Cruise the neighborhood or local nature trail and check out Mother Nature awakening from her Winter sleep.

Plenty of people have been looking forward to Spring - this is day 2! For many, it's a time to do yard cleanup from Winter, raking up twigs, clearing dead plants from flower/veggie gardens in preparation of new planting.

I don't know about you, but yardwork makes me THIRSTY. I'm sure many of you have heard of dandelion wine (and cooking the greens). Have you ever heard of Violet Lemonade? Yes, lemonade! We are not talking about African violets - completely different plant family - but wild violets that grow everywhere.

Because of my mad organizational skills (and OCD!), my boss asked me to keep the team organized, including all team documentation and pertinent information. This information is on a shared drive, available to everyone. I'm always willing to help out in any way I can, but some days...
