Yesterday it was spring and we let the fire go out. I looked for crocuses but didn’t find any.
Today there’s a fire going again, and it’s chilly out. I went to town for lunch and groceries and another visit to Dr. Crossland, and came home and made Mr. Brett a big pot of beef stew.
I dusted, tidied, did laundry. Did dishes. Made the bed. Yawn. Housework is so BORING. Shook out some rugs. Took out the trash. Folded, picked up, put away.
Love that Dr. Crossland, though!

The gorgeous-est iPod mini case ever: The “Kimono” Case, by Power Support. (Oh, they also make ’em for non-minis.)
Standing at the cutting board in the kitchen, I sliced off the sides of the mango along the flat side of the seed as I’d been taught, and scored the flesh so it could be bent outward and easily eaten. I took one side to my husband who was on the couch, and sat on the edge of our dilapidated La-z-boy recliner to eat my portion.
I put out my right palm so Brett could drop his peel into it, and stood. As I crossed the threshhold into the kitchen, I told him, “A guy told me once that mango is the pussy of fruit.”
I returned to my knife and sliced off the remaining chunks of the mango for Brett, and kept the seed for myself. I returned to the living room, and watching Deadwood on HBO, we finished off the fruit.
Brett followed me into the kitchen to dispose of his peels and said, “Yes, it is the pussy of fruit.” And as an afterthought, he added, “But you can do things to a mango with your teeth you would never do to a pussy.”
I eyed him, scowling a little. “I never said it was a perfect analogy!”
He laughed.

Windows user? Yeah, well, me too. Now you can turn your iPod into a PDA and sync it with Outlook: mail, tasks, address book, and calendar on your iPod! Get iPodSync. It even puts weather on your pod! It works great.
Spring is coming. I can feel it. The air today’s got a certain balminess, and the birds are coming back. Spring! It’s coming! I can FEEL it! Soon, very soon: LILACS. I’m telling you. Just wait.
