Spring = LOVE

Buds!!!


Remember my favorite tree from my 'Winter Wonderland' post? Looks a little different now huh? The picture doesn't even do it justice. It makes it look like an overcast day when really it's super sunny and 84 degrees!! (Maybe I should'nt have taken the picture through a screen...=P) Anywayyyy I'm so excited for DH to hang up my hammock chair soon! (A lovely little contraption we picked up in Cancun on our honeymoon.) It's great to sit in and swing in the tree and just read or chill. Love it. It did live in our livingroom the first few months after we got it. But it ended up not really matching the decor... Lol.

So today is on of the first days that I've reallllly wanted to wear shorts and a tanktop. Unfortunatly, my summer clothes are still sucked up in one of those space saver bags in a cupboard behind our bed. I tried tugging on the bed. No such luck. I'll make sure DH gets them out tonight though! Yipee! I am loving this weather!

I guess I'll repeat myself...

And say that I am indeed a blog slacker. Gosh.



Having recently lost my job I should now have no excuses for not updating my blog!! Now I just have to figure out what to write about, eh? =P



Ben and I did work on a project last weekend. * Well. Ben worked on a project last weekend. I sort of watched.

Here's proof I actually did some work. Haha. The rest of the time I relaxed in the back of his pickup soaking up some sun. =]

Speaking of sun, we're planning on taking a beach trip this Saturday. YESSSS!! It was Ben's idea and it's super sweet because he doesn't really care for the beach, but he knows how I loooove it and that it's supposed to be about 80 degrees this weekend. That sounds pretty darn good for April in Maine!! Maybe I'll get some sweet pics at the beach. =]

*I will post pictures of the actual project when it's actually done. Well. It's done, but I have some ideas of my own...let's just leave it at that. =]

Edit: ::TMI WARNING:: Ps. I just thought I would also share the story of making rice in the microwave and my hand. Stupid Melissa... opening the rice container immediately after stopping the microwave and not being careful to avoid steam burns is dumb. In a nutshell I got a sick burn covering the tops of my pointer and middle fingers on my right hand. It felt like it was still burning 3 hours later. I kept ice on it throughout the night by stuffing an oven mitt full of bags of ice. And today it feels much better. Despite the fact that there is a ginormous bubble on my middle finger that looks like it could burst at any second. Disgusting!
