This Week

So, weather.com says that we’re going to possibly hit 50 on Wednesday!  Woo, hoo!   We are so getting outside.  I wish that I were with-it enough to provide you with a list of playgrounds and a constantly-updated snow-meltedness index.  Maybe that will be the next big project?  Umm, yeah.  Do you see this?  Clearly, I have some sort of an OCD.  This has to stop.  I’ve got a life to live.  Anyway, remember to check the regularly-scheduled events at the Big Ol’ List of Links For You, too.
