5 x 5

It's been awhile since I've done one of these.

Five things I love about spring;

1. Tulips!  They are my favorite flower.
2. The drab brown-ness disappears and Stinktown becomes almost bearable.
3. Trips to Rocky Mountain National Park.
4. Picnics in the park.
5. Fresh air blowing through open windows.

Five things I have done today;

1. Drank an amazing cup of coffee.
2. Cuddled with my sick 5 year old.
3. Caught up on my DVR watching, since I'm getting over being sick, too.
4. Did the dishes that were overflowing the sink.
5. Texted back and forth with my sister Rita.  She was letting me know she was ok in Pasadena after a 4.4 predawn earthquake hit southern California.

Five things that I love doing lately;

1. Listening to music on Last.fm.  You can view my profile here.
2. Reading, reading, reading.  I'm partial to mysteries and thrillers.
3. Watching Netflix movies on our Xbox 360.
4. Dreaming of vacationing in Hawaii, California, and Australia.  Oh, I wish we had the money.
5. Making vegetarian pot pies.

Five things that are driving me absolutely bonkers today;

1. Debt.
2. Cleaning up after people who are perfectly capable of cleaning up after themselves.
3. The fact that I'm sick.
4. The zit on my jaw that is taking freaking forever to heal.
5. Knowing that my house needs a serious cleaning, and having no desire to do so.

Five things that make me incredibly happy;

1. The fact that my parents live less than 45 minutes away.
2. Watching a good movie with my husband.
3. Talking to my siblings.
4. Knowing that I get to see all of my siblings in May when my younger sister graduates from college.
5. Time alone.
