I love spring, but I also have some wicked short attention span prob… ROBIN!
Yeah, so here's all the things that are cookin' in my casserole of a brain:
– listening to Gotye (pronounce it "Go- T- A" or be mocked) and Mary Lucia talking on The Current. It's blowing my mind. Gotye. Mary Lucia. (Maybe Bob Collins could come in and then I could die happy because of the ensuing dialogues.) They're discussing Prince and what the band is going to wear when they play Saturday Night Live this weekend. You know, the important issues.

– can there ever be too much garlic? Discuss amongst yourselves.
– I might need to focus on finishing one book, instead of trying to read four different ones depending on what room I'm sitting in. I've gathered them into one pile, so maybe that's a start.
– why would a company ever make a food prep product that has impossible-to-clean crevices that will inevitably get food stuck in them? My food processor has a couple nooks that I can't get any cleaning utensils into. I've soaked the offending article, but then there's just softened foodstuff stuck in there. And then it dries, so… vicious cycle.
Does anyone else have this problem? What do you do about it?
– could I be any more excited about the possibility of these planted seeds?
I haven't taken care of something this much since… well, maybe since that last baby came around. And she's doing okay, so I figure this garden thing should work out at least as well.
– went to the MN Zoo again (because it's awesome) with Ms. Nicey-Nice. We're all checking out the "holes" (these freaky concave windows hidden around the backside of the main aquarium that only third-grade teacher's kids would know about because it looks like you're going out the emergency exit to get to them) and I'm sitting in one with V when all of a sudden the seaweed directly below us starts blinking and breathing.
I nearly hit my head on the top of the window.
Plus, it only was green in the light; in the shadows of the tank, it was this creepy, breathing darkness.
A little freaky.
– I forgot to mention about the awesome photo-a-day thing I joined on Instagram (hey, Maladroit, maybe you can figure out your damn camera and join in!). A lot of the pictures you see in my swanky new sidebar are from that idea. With my new camera and the ye olde iPhone, it's fun to have something to practice with my budding photography skillz.
– I'm going to make a concerted effort to start (or finish) some craft projects. I really want to get into sewing. I have this book that has a pattern for adorable little pants. I will start tonight! Sewing tips and advice are encouraged. Hell, encouragement is encouraged.
– eating healthfully is a be-ach.
– running is also a be-ach.
– don't you love figuring out lyrics to a song you've been singing forever?
