Check it out, Scrubs fans. Fingers crossed we get to see the rest of this season and maybe another one too!
FNL looks like it's moving to the safe column, too.

spring is in the air
It's cool and rainy here today....otherwise known as spring in the Midwest. Thank goodness we didn't get snow last week like a lot of folks North of us.
We're hoping to transform our yard into a space with lush grass, healthy trees and eventually pretty flowers and sprouting herbs and veggies. It's definitely a work in progress, and Ben spent a lot of time yesterday spreading seed and filling bare spots with dirt. We have a variety of bulbs sprouting...we know some tulips and crocuses are coming because we planted them in the fall but I have no idea what else is out there. We need some warm sun to get things moving. I'll post a photo once we have some action.
We still haven't decided what to do with our front porch. A day or two of painting is in order..maybe a new floor and definitely furniture. I know we're getting at least one chaise lounge to laze around on and take naps in ...
c'mon warm Spring days! We're ready!!

tidbits
I rarely read my local newspaper and get excited about an article. That changed today when they ran an article about threading, the traditional Indian hair removal technique.
I fell in love with threading in L.A. where you can find salons offering the service, or entire businesses devoted to the practice, all over the place. Finding someone who threads in Bloomington wasn't quite as easy...the first gal I tried charged 4 times as much as my L.A. gal (the pain over paying the ridiculous fee was much worse than the hair removal). I did finally stumble upon a heavenly angel who offers threading out of her basement salon for a very fair fee.
I highly encourage anyone who hates waxing and plucking to give it a try!
We watched Gone Baby Gone this weekend and thought it was great. I'm bummed I didn't see it in the theater - it's actually one worth paying for.
I still have free movie passes, but there's not much out I want to see...post a recommendation if you have one.
Opening Day is just around the corner and ironically I may be in St. Louis for a Cardinal's rally (for work). I gotta say I wish I was heading to Wrigley instead. Spending Opening Day in St. Louis just feels like bad ju-ju.
