Not Spring Yet

It's 27 degrees F out (I put the hyacinth in the basement), overcast, and very windy, so I made an executive decision not to go out to get the Sunday paper for coupons today. (I still am not getting the paper delivered, and I subscribed a month ago, so I need to find out what's going on.) I slept for 14 hours (must have needed it), and am still feeling shaky and headachy, so I think that I've made the right decision.

I have plenty of stuff to do here, most notably homework and cleaning and organizing my wreck of a kitchen. I also need to soak the berry plants so that I can plant them tomorrow.

The girls have gotten some cuddle time with me, so they're happy. They crack me up. I was sitting on the futon last night, talking on the phone to my mom, and Harlee was snuggled next to me. Harlee went away, and I stretched out on the futon. She came back, and was circling the futon complaining. I moved my legs, and told her that she could jump on next to me, but no, she was circling and complaining until I sat up. Then she jumped up and snuggled with me again. Whenever I turn my back to leave the bedroom, Zara has been rushing up and tagging my ankles. I tell her that yes, she is a mighty huntress.

Real Estate

For kicks, I logged on and looked at real estate ads in Bloomington-Normal. I could buy a house for less than I'm paying in rent. (However, I have a year's lease right now.) There's incentive to pay down my debts and save some money. I also would have to decide to stay in Bloomington for a while too. If I could get a job at Illinois State U or Illinois Wesleyan after I've been at Lincoln for at least a couple of years, then I definitely would buy.

I kind of like this house.

Travel Blog Moonlighting?

I saw an ad for a travel blogger. Any thoughts on what you would like to see in a travel blog?
