Spring fever

The temp reached 76 degrees here yesterday! Although I never left the office all day, the number of people lining the sidewalks as I drove home from work clearly pointed out that I was missing out on the fun. People were out walking, running, biking and rollerblading (in shorts and t-shirts mind you). I counted 11 kids playing in the neighbor's driveway as I pulled into ours. Definitely spring fever in Lincoln!

Today was not quite as balmy, but 60 degrees nonetheless, so we thought pulling out the grill was a perfect idea for supper. Three t-shirts, a pair of sweatpants and shorts later (the laundry lady will be busy this weekend), Mike had perfected his feast of burgers and dogs. Really not sure what battle was fought out there, but apparently the grill took a beating over the winter months. The good news is that it still works.

Speaking of warmer weather, the new GMC Acadia experienced it's first car wash on Wednesday...followed by another car wash on Thursday. Mike just can't stand to see it dirty. It may be a long rest of the winter around here.

I heard an interesting statistic on the radio yesterday. Did you know that 85% of people talk about the weather at least once a day. I'm one of the 85%. Anyone from Minnesota is one of the 85%. Enjoy the weekend!
