I love Spring

Seriously. Awesome. It's been in the 70s for a while now, and I have been loving it. We've been hiking and camping and quad-riding and all kinds of other stuff. That's the upside. The downside is I've had some crazy back pain so my exercising has been minimal. I don't even really know what happened, to be honest. All the sudden it just started hurting one night, to the point that I had to grab a heating pad to get it to calm down enough that I could fall asleep. The next morning it took two hours to get out of bed because it hurt so bad. Blech. But it seems to be feeling better for the most part (we went camping, sleeping in a tent, and I was mostly fine when I woke up), so hopefully I'll be able to get back into my full routine soon.

Fun picture for you:

If you're wondering why my little leprechaun looks weird, I blurred the top half of his face because, as always, I'm not sure if he really wants his face posted on my blog. If you didn't guess, this was us celebrating St Paddy's Day. Apologies for the carpet, it's kind of a Vegas thing.

We went to Fremont Street at the end of the night (normally we avoid Vegas at all costs, but they were having lots of events for cheap) and we were kind of like local celebrities. We took at least two dozen pictures with people, plus people were taking pics of us as we walked by, like our personal paparazzi. It was seriously kind of hilarious, and totally fun. The outfit was maybe not the most flattering, and you know what? I didn't even care. I was all about just having fun and not being paranoid about if I look fat, which was a total departure from last year. The idea of it was super fun and cute, so that was all I needed. And yes, his beard is au naturel. He's an Irish boy, can you tell?

I started my spring cleaning this morning. I did pretty good, actually. Far from finished, but very productive when all was said and done. I'm really not much of a cleaner lately (I go through phases ranging from neat freak to slob), so I was pretty happy with it. The one thing I was disappointed about is that I finally started organizing my CDs and rerecording them to my computer. Things were going really well and I was getting a good start. I'm putting them on an external hard drive because I have TONS of CDs, and the damn thing just stopped working. It's practically new and it just quit. That kind of put me in a funk so I didn't get much else done after.

Alrighty, well I must go to bed, but I hope all is well! I'll be back soon, with any luck. :)
