Although it's not officially Spring yet, we just had our first taste of 2004's afternoon spring showers. There was a tornado warning in Denton County (that's just great....Matthew find a safe place under a mattress in a bathtub NOW!...) and I'm pounding away on the computer and hoping to god that a bolt of lightning doesn't strike the building, and then proceed to the cable that lets my computer talk to other CCorp computers and doesn't, in the end, electrocute my whole body, starting with one finger at a time as it hits each key on my keyboard.

Seriously, I am always kind of sad to see winter fade away each year. I like the colder weather that we get here from November through February, and I sleep so well when I can snuggle down under the covers of my fluffy down-filled duvet. Last night, to accomplish this, I had to turn on the ceiling fan and soon I'll have to get out the oscillating fan and have it hold steady on me.

In a month or two, I'll have both fans going all the time and pointing towards me. I'll still be hot and will climb out of the sheet that provided some security and lay with arms and legs outstretched, hoping that I can elevate myself off the bed just enough to completely surround my limbs with hot, fanned air, that may, possibly, make me a little cooler.
