Spring ??

Yesterday was the first day of spring, so why does it still feel like winter?  It was only 34 degrees today with no sun to be seen, getting really tired of gray skies.  Sarah has been home this week on "Spring" break, despite the weather we have been enjoying ourselves.  We have shopped until dropping, looking for the perfect dress for her sorority formal.  Found a beautiful black dress at Nordstroms, fit like a glove and on sale, everybody happy!  Then it was off to find shoes for this weekend; we have a "gala" fundraiser to attend on Saturday evening that raises money for children with cancer.  Sarah applied for, and was awarded a scholarship from the Fighting Childhood Cancer Foundation.  We both found new black shoes, also on sale, we are all set.  Just in case...... we went shopping again, for a purple dress; this new addition, along with what is already in her closet,  has Sarah prepared for all upcoming social gatherings.  She decided to "model" all of her choices, with me as photographer, so she could get input from aunts, cousins and friends.  During the photo shoot we noticed that one of the new dresses still had a security tag attached, #!^&*+_!, you guessed it, today we had to go back to the Short Hills Mall to get the offending tag removed.  While there we saw our friend, Amy, at the Clinique counter for much needed makeovers.  From there we went grocery shopping at Kings, where we dazzled everyone with our newly made up faces.  When we finally got back home, we did an art project, made tacos for dinner, ate, and now I am ready for a rest!  Sarah is doing homework, Greg is at school, Zen is at the Club, and I am about to start a new knitting project; all is well in our little corner of the world!
