Since I’ve met my boy, he’s always made the crack whenever the weather turns cold (and those cracks ramp up in the spring) about how global warming is a sham, a marketing ploy, and Al Gore really made out by claiming that global warming exists.

Not to shun global warming and infuriate the environmentalists among us, but on a day like today, when it was in the high 50’s/low 60’s in Alabama – in April – you kind of have to wonder, don’t you?

And at this precise moment in time, if my friend Alotta Errata is holding anything sharp in her hand, she’s probably envisioning stabbing me repeatedly with it.  She’s not been happy with their weather and lack of spring, and would probably donate a kidney for our low 60’s. 

It’s all relative though.  That’s one thing I love about the south – the spring.  That it comes early.  That the flowers bloom early.  That I’ve got roses and azaleas blooming, and my mom is just starting to see daffodils in CT.  Daffodils here bloomed in February.  It’s not supposed to be chilly and cool here right now.

(I’m going to bookmark this, so when I’m moaning in July about my face melting off, I can remember why I like the south.)

The studying continues.   I read an article today that made things seem a little bit clearer on the part I’m struggling with.  I’m looking for the manual that says “This is where you find concepts.  This is where you find operational definitions.  This is where you find ____”.  It would be lovely, but such a thing doesn’t exist.  Maybe I should write one.  I could make a lot of money off that.

In wedding news, things are quiet on that front.  We sent out the invittations last week, and I love (LOVE!) getting the response cards in.  I love how the ones that we’ve gotten so far include some sort of note, or something funny.  I’ll definitely save them all, so we can have them as a fun memory.  My favorite thus far has come from the McAlisters.  Our response cards have the line to write in the name, and then “___Accepts    ___Regrets” below it.   On their card, they filled in the blanks with “Totally Accepts, No Regrets”.  It made me laugh.

Totally.
