March is the cruelist month

Spring just makes me mad. Forget all that rebirth and renew stuff, I want warm weather, and I want it now. Spring seduces us with promises of rising mercury, but then you wear open-toed shoes and a lovely lightweight frock, and you spend the day freezing your ass off.

March is showy ... full of promises that are slow to deliver. We have fun outdoor activities scheduled and cute clothes to wear, damn it! Let's get on with this show.  

OK, so I have issues with March. Today is the 11-year anniversary of my cancer diagnosis. I have been fine and wonderful since my initial treatment, but it scares the crap out of me just the same. I will say this. Living through that ordeal frees you up to live a little large. I like it. Note to non-cancer survivors: don't wait to be invited. It's not a club you want to join. Live large anyway. Not Amy Winehouse large. Large ... with seat belts and air bags.

Finally, for a person who largely lives on the Internet, I was surprised to discover I can't replace Google. Keep the day job. But I learned two funny expressions as a result of real human interaction. You probably knew this, but I'm a late bloomer. If somebody says you're the shit -- that's a good thing. MDAL is mutton dressed as a lamb. By the way, that's not us ... at least that's not the look we're going for.

So, happy March. Keep moving, folks. Nothing to see here.

It's going to warm up to 78 degrees here today --- and our Drake Elm is putting out new leaves. I'm with you, Donna --- I'm so ready for Spring/Summer!!!
And March is just a teaser month for the most part. :(
