It kind of feels like Spring is in the air. Maybe I'm calling it too soon, because the 'weather people' keep saying we could still get some snow, and after yesterdays wind-pocolypse and February Rainfest 2011, I suppose it's possible, but I'm not hedging ANY bets on it. We've had a lot of sunny days the last couple of weeks. Though cold, it's so nice to see that old Vitamin-D providing, life-affirming, soul-warming friend. Today is a beautiful, sunny Seattle Sunday.
Going to hit the Ballard Farmer's Market and pick up a few items to make some tea treats for a party this afternoon. (Okay, I suppose I may have to sample the cheese and chocolate vendors while I'm there. Wouldn't want to be rude or anything.)
I can't wait for continuing warmer weather--when I can dig my hands into the garden and plant my own market in our back yard! I also discovered we have a neighborhood pea-patch right across the alley from our place. I love that. I think I may have to try my hand at my own garden first...I'm not sure how green my thumb really is quite yet!
Happy on-the-verge of Spring!

Happy New Year...Chinese New Year!
Hey! I know...where HAVE I been???
I'm sorry blogosphere...everytime I sat down to write something I either got interupted or just got overwhelmed about updating. But here I am...making a comeback. But don't call it that.
Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. In my office feng shui is a big deal. a VERY big deal. We have a Master that comes in from China every year and walks through our building giving direction for the upcoming year. Lookout is very positive this year, which is great! I even got to get in on the action and got a personal "reading".
The Master gave instructions to myself and my boss, the VP of my department, that on the morning of the Chinese New Year, we should leave our houses a bit later than normal. Drive NE or NW for 1 to 2 miles, then make a big circle, turning West. Then we should stop somewhere within that area for breakfast. And THEN head into the office. He said doing this ritual would help improve our luck for the year by 25 to 30%. Which is great news for me because during his reading he told me my year is going to be 80 - 85% good. But with this morning change, increases my rate to 100%. Woohoo!
What better way to start off my Thursday than instructions from the boss to complete this feng shui task! I had a wonderful breakfast at Patty's Eggnest with all the local Sr. Citizens of Greenwood and Ballard. I had to improvise my NE direction a bit as there's not a direct NE direction (or NW for that matter) from our house.
So Happy New Year to you all! May you have 100% luck this year! Wishing you health and happiness in this year of the Rabbit!
