Spring? Seriously?

I don't believe for a single second it's spring.  It hasn't stopped raining in Portland and has even been snowing since last week.  Not to mention, where the eff did February go?  Wasn't it Valentine's Day like 45 minutes ago?  Sometimes I wonder what dimension I live in, because I don't think it's concurrent with the one the rest of the universe is in. 
All that aside, I think we've had a mild winter here in the NW.  Not as wet and cold as the last winter- previous week excluded.  Or maybe I am just more optimistic this season?  Or maybe just happier in general.  Who knows.  But sunscreen in on sale right now, which can only mean one of two things:  That the sun will make an appearance for a period of time that requires adequate sun protection.  Or that we are so desperate to believe the sun is coming out that we find any and all reason to stock up on sunscreen.  (which I did, thank you Target, Fred Meyer and New Seasons). 
So, on this first day of spring, I would like to thank my sweatpants, furry-hooded jacket, rain boots and gore-tex for their dedicated and superior service this season.  They performed above and beyond the call of duty and for that I will allow them to take an extended leave of absence and enjoy the closet for, say, 9 months.

Good day to you.

This is what I expect this time next week

Exciting times

I have not blogged in so long!  Partly because I have nothing exciting to report.  I didn't get that job in Boise.  I was pretty upset- much more upset than I thought I would be.  But everything happens for a reason.  I was convinced another opportunity like that wouldn't come along, but the very next week I found 4 jobs just like it!  I had an interview with Kaiser last week and I have another one next week with Providence Health Plans.  The Kaiser job wasn't a good fit, but I have a good feeling about the PHP gig.  But, I'm not going to get all excited and tell the world about it this time.  Less people asking about it is probably better.

But, all seriousness aside, I am counting down to our Mexican vacation!!  We are spending 6 days in Puerta Vallarta!  I am so excited and so SO ready for some beach, sun and margaritas.  I am also pretty happy because for the first time I feel like I'm gonna rock the shit out of a bikini.  I just need to learn how to not burn- because lobster isn't a good color on me.
