(no subject)

yep, i'm definitely antsy for spring. the majority of my thoughts these days are centered around what i'll be able to do once the weather warms up. last night i started daydreaming about all the house repairs i'm going to make with my tax refund... especially the overgrown mess that's supposed to be a garden in my backyard. i'm hoping my brother (who's a landscape designer) can see through the tangles and figure out what can be kept (probably the forsythia and the hydrangea), and then tell me how i can put all my favorite plants in there in a way that looks good. between that and mulching all my other plants (i haven't done that since i moved in), i think the outside will look gorgeous for a change this year. if i can get all that done, plus finally rebuild my no-longer-tree-infested powder room, i just may faint from happiness. :)

for now, though, i have to prep for a big presentation i'm giving this afternoon. even though i was a trainer for several years, getting up in front of a room full of people and presenting work i've done gives me heart palpitations. whew.
