Is it Spring yet?

I'm so tired of the cold dreary winter.  It's time for Spring to get here!  I'm ready for the flowers to bloom, the grass to grow, & the temps to warm up.  Oh & that snow to melt!  OMG!  The piles of snow have melted...but there is still a little more left.

I've been going over my list of suggestions.  I have already picked out 5 things that I am definitely going to do.  I should have a few more picked out & planned soon.  Then I will leave it to all of you to pick out the other 20 things I do.  I can't wait.  I'm looking forward to these weekly missions.

So my book club is set for next month.  We are reading 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven' by Mitch Albom.  Great book.  I'm looking forward to getting a group of my friends together to discuss good books.  I'm looking forward to reading books I wouldn't have otherwise read.  Should be fun.

I'm also looking forward to my tea party.  I've been searching the web looking for supplies for this party.  I actually found a website that sells personalized tea bags!  I might actually order them. Plus I found plenty of tea sets.  I am still debating on whether to use a matching set or mismatched teacups.  We'll see.  But I am sure that I want some help on the menu.  I found a few good recipes for tea sandwiches, but if anyone knows anything I should have on the menu, I'm open for suggestions.  Post away!

And there is still plenty of time to post suggestions on things for me to do.  So get to it!

  1. I agree with you on the weather. Spring can't get here soon enough. I'm disappointed about the book choice. I had some moral issues with that book. I forgot what they are because it's been so long since I have read it, but I remember arguing with a friend about it. LOL Good luck accomplishing 5 things!

  2. Shel, sorry to hear you didn't like the book. I love it. It's one of my top favorites.

    And yes, Spring cannot get here fast enough! It was a gorgeous day here yesterday in the Big Apple...then last night it was freezing!! I'm so ready for warmer weather.

    I am planning another two weeks today. I think I should have a few things set before the end of the month...if I'm lucky. And then I'll wait to plan more. I'm just giving people time to make suggestions.
