Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way.

Ah yes, Easter. A terrific excuse for little girls everywhere to get a hat with pastel colors or ribbons, or fuzzy things on it that they will wear for only one day and probably only for a few minutes. But alas, they do look adorable in the pictures.

This week has been crazy busy, I think Lily is ready to kick me out of the apartment because I'm never there. I have been working nights out at the Delta Dorm hanging out with my artsy high schoolers. Their company is downright addictive. Yesterday night (and Tuesday night) there was a music concert (as well as this evening as well). I got a funny pic of some guys who played in an 80's band and I will absolutely paste it on here later.

Because I've been working nights (until midnight), my absolutely wonderful mother has been letting my dog out to go potty. She's also been eating my food-- but I told her she could. Anyway, probably rewarding me for never being around, Tuesday night, Lily got up at 3am, walked into the living room, and promptly gagged up some stomach-pumping throw-up. I'd just fallen asleep a few hours before, but I got up, cleaned up the mess and tried to coax her into drinking some pepto bismol... but she wasn't going for it. I decided not to torture her, and I went back to sleep.
Ah, the joys of dog-ownership.

Ah! Can it get any more beautiful? I challenge the weather to be any more terrific than it is today. I just can't get over it.

I was thinking today that the weather today is like San Francisco is all the time. My friend Elliot has just been accepted to Stanford for business school, and he once again has told me that I should move to California. It's a little tempting, but if we all move to California, Minnesota would be lonely, no? Not to mention a red state. That is my logic for staying-- at least for now.

Lily and I went for a walk, and she got so tired and hot that she plopped down on some lawn and rolled over (and accidently kinda slid down a hill). She is entertaining. Man-oh-man.
