Chicks were born to give you fever...Be it fair and have a sense of game

It could not be any prettier here in Boston for the 27th of February.
60 degrees, and feeling like Spring.
(Or like Spring Training?)
I swear, I could smell pollen in the air.

Okay, so maybe I'm a bit over enthusiastic about the day but it just makes me feel alive after always feeling so huddled with the cold. I'm trying to ignore the weather reports that in a mere 24 hours we'll be subjected to another snow storm.

Even the bugs are feeling it. I came into work this morning to discover calamity abound in the breakroom. Seems that cockroaches overtook the cabinet spaces - and didn't even feel the need to hide from the bright daylight shining in the room. So while I'm no longer in a building that smells like sour ass (Yes, Felger - you and Ms. Malone are not alone...and I do believe that I'm the one who coined that phrase regarding the work space. Just sayin'...) I am however in a building that apparently has an infestation of the lovely North American variety of cockroach. Not a huge surprise, yet disgusting none the less. And also a lovely reminder as to why I should never, ever consume anything from that room again. So apparently, even bugs are feeling a little Spring Fever.

I actually stopped at HomeGoods during lunch for a very quick run through to get some ideas for storage for glasses and linens, etc. for a possible new store location. Found some beautiful display items for a song - but hesitated on buying them since we're not a green light yet. I have very definite ideas on what I want to do for a register as well as tasting bar, so these things would be perfect for those areas. But now isn't the time. I did find a beautiful display option that I love, but it's something that I think is relatively common enough that I can purchase it - or a variation of the theme - as we get closer.

Plans on tap for the weekend is total business. (That is busy-ness, as opposed to business.) Tonight, we are going to the Home Show and then out for dinner; Saturday day, I have yet to find an adventure for the kiddies and I to go on, but I'm looking.... Saturday night, we have dinner plans for sushi at one of my favorite restaurants. Sunday, I'm supposed to have a friend visit during the day - but the weather may hinder that, and it may be a day spent focusing on layout and design of the new space.

But for now, I'm going to enjoy the weather -- drive home with my sun roof open and windows down, and refuse to buy into the concept that we're still in the middle of winter.
