Monday Musings March 22, 2010

Wow, where is the time going?

March is almost over already. Spring is attempting to be here. Last week was beautiful all week then Saturday rolls around and I wake up to a white world. Yes, more of the dreaded S word. Snow. I hate snow. The only time I want to see snow is Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. After that it can go away.

I've lived my whole life in Michigan and have never skied or put my butt on a snowmobile and have no desire to. Being outside in the winter- not my thing. I hibernate in the cold weather. However once Spring is here...I turn into a butterfly and fly outside. I love to dig in the dirt and garden.

This year my outdoor goal is to create a backyard. Currently my backyard consists of swamp, woods, and huge junk piles that were once a garage, a chicken coop and an outhouse. My goal is to get rid of the garbage, dig a ditch/stream for the swampy water to flow into and use the old foundation for the garage to create a patio area so I finally get to have a backyard. That was my goal for last year too but it never happened. We started clearing out trees and that's as far as it went. This year I'll have to keep on the husband and keep him motivated.

Friday night we had a bonfire then were housebound all weekend since the snow kept us from doing the yard work we were hoping to be able to do. Instead I designed some new business cards and did some writing.

What'd you do over the weekend?

This week I have a canvas print giveaway from Uprinting.com, and a couple author interviews including Jacqueline Lepore and Nancy Kilpatrick.

No one has entered my t-shirt design contest yet. I thought it would be a fun thing but I guess no one is interested, bummer. I had seen a couple design contests around the web one for a button and then VampChix had the Valentine contest. So I thought a t-shirt design would be good- I know several of you guys out there are designers I seen your Valentine entries and some other work you've done. Oh well, guess I'll have to think of something else if no one decides to enter. (hint hint please enter :-)

Authors- I am still scheduling guest days here and collecting news to feature in the Night Owl Reviews Magazine.

I guess that's all for now, have a great week.
