Spring

apparently, today is the first day of spring. the sunshine makes me smile. kurver kreme opened up on st. patrick's day and me and ed walked over to get some coffee/vanilla swirl cones. things are looking up. this was a good week because the kids are off today and i subbed remedial reading which means i got a sweet desk in some comfy remote corner of the school basement where the radio played all day, right under the heater ...and a two hour lunch break.

i forgot how much i loved reading middle school books. they are all action and dialogue and very little exposition. i read stargirl and avi this week and i feel that i got more out of them than i did my 400 level james joyce class. maybe this makes me a bad english major but ill just say im not pretentious. i can't wait to be home for easter. i've applied for a few jobs posted on OLAS for next year. i hope i get health insurance soon because my luck has been good so far without it. i went to krauss,' the homemade candy place down the street, yesterday and today to get easter egg truffles (i didnt buy enough yesterday when i considered how many guests my family was having over) and the lines were out the DOOR with three cashiers. i love wicked dark truffles and i love going up to the counter and saying "wicked dark truffles" and i need to never go there again because they are addictive. a week from tomorrow i'm back at farnsworth subbing and i can't wait to see the kids! Spring might have to be my new favorite season, because i just don't know if my love of fall matches up to the pure hatred i feel towards winter. thus, Spring is the best possible news.
