Wishing I was outside...


Spring is here in all it's glory, and it all happened in the blink of an eye. Just yesterday it was all dark, dreary and wet, and the trees were bald and everything around was gray and dead. All of a sudden, as I was driving through town today, I noticed that everything around was blooming and the sun was shinning with a power that hints to the hot and steamy summer that lies ahead. It is glorious! Just looking around makes me smile and makes me yearn. Makes me yearn for some time to walk around and enjoy the beauty that only nature can create. Makes me yearn for some time to snap photos, watch children play and refocus and the things that truly matter in life... Sadly, today is not that day. So here I am, locked in my windowless office trying to catch up on work and prepare my presentation for tomorrow morning all the while wishing I was outside...

I apologize to all (Angelica in particular) for being absent for a few days. Thank you so so much for all your care and concern, it means so much to me! I am feeling a lot better, although now that the pain is almost completely gone I find it very hard to deal with the fact that I have a gaping hole in my mouth... Will it ever close? I hope so, otherwise I might never dare to chew on my left side. No time to worry about that now, back to work! Those annoying deadlines will not wait for me. Where are deadline extensions when you need them?

I can't wait until I can see things blooming! It is still gray and overcast in Seattle! You will have to post some beautiful pictures once you start taking them. I would love to see!

yay, you're back! and there is no need to apologize for being gone!! you sound so busy!!! deadlines and offices and anything that has to do with being a grown up scares me so much! and you'll get used to the hole with no tooth, even though it will close up eventually! people can get used to anything. one of my molars cracked in half last fall at work and i still haven't gotten it fixed. i had to stop chewing on that side of my mouth! i have all these weird stories about my teeth. oh well. i'm glad you're back! also i am glad spring is back! yay!
