sick during spring break

Did I give it all away in the title? Well that's pretty much been my spring break, well that and work. I had a good first weekend of the break and I think that that's where I went wrong. It was during the cold snap and I was out and having a few drinks and decided to step out to smoke one too many cigarettes in the cold weather, not bundled up. The alcohol tends trick me into thinking I am warm.

Well the ironic thing about me getting this cold from smoking in the cold is, that I haven't had a cigarette since being sick. I have been wanting to quit and I am using this opportunity to do so. It is something that I have wanted to do, and it seems like an ideal time. Wish me luck.

Rainy days

We've had such great weather lately. Blue skies, eighty degree weather and last Saturday a friend and I actually put our swim suits on and layed out. It felt good to get a little sun.

Today, however, there has been a shift on this cold and drizzly day. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to switch the Winter clothes out for the Spring attire yet. Luckily the cold weather gear isn't too inconvient to get to.
Hopefully this front won't be lengthy. It's like mother nature is hanging Spring above me, letting me touch it, and then quickly taking it back, leaving stuffy noses and congestion.

Every now and then, a rainy day isn't so bad. It can give me the chance to catch up on my favorite TV shows that I record, or to guiltlessly sleep in or nap in the middle of the day.

COAL MINERS DAUGHTER

It is not so often that Shreveport, Louisiana invites someone like Loretta Lynn to share her extraordinary talent. I am so grateful that my sister bought me a ticket. She'll be playin' at the Riverdome tonight and I can't wait!

Ever since seeing the movie, The Coal Miners Daughter, I've loved the lady. She sings of truth from her heart and soul and brings you into what she has experienced... and that's what a true artist does.
