Reaping day!

Book I am currently reading: "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins

It was about time I started reading this book! I bought it a while ago, say 2 months ago.. And usually I buy a book because I know I'll be into it and will want to read it.. But all with the move and packing, I lost interest and sort of hives it aside, let it be a dust magnet to eventually toss it in a moving box and forget about it.

I found it again this week! A colleague of mine was reading it and told me how good it was and how she couldn't wait to go see the movie with her niece at the midnight showing Thursday night... When I got home, I set it on my night table and when time came that I went to bed, I started reading it...

Not really interested and mostly trying to kill time (too early to fall asleep, fed up of watching tv, etc) I started reading one page... Then another.. And another... To then find myself having read over 50 pages! I am officially hooked! I am already excited to log on the chapters.ca to add "Catching Fire" and "Mockinjay" to my cart!!!

So I'm still reading the book and I am in no position to rate truthfully it yet but all I can is: "so far, so HOOKED!"

With this, today felt like spring was FINALLY here! This winter wasn't do bad. Everyone gets winter blues and in some low points (mine are usually really bad) and even though I did go through some tough times, I'm gla to say they weren't that bad. Hey, I survived didn't I? I made it through a move to a 3rd floor! I made it financially! I was sick just a few times (compared to previous years...). But even after all that, this morning I woke up to a sunny day, my grandmother's birthday. It meant one thing: spring is here. Windows can be opened. Heater plugs on the electrical fuse box can be shut off. Heck, Jason and I were even tempted to set up the air conditioning... Then I remembered my grandmother and her favorite quote:" En avril, ne te découvre pas d'un fil." (French for: " In April, do not shed a piece of clothing") We are still in March, let's not risk getting sick!

I hope more beautiful days are to come and that this wasn't just a teaser. I want the real deal Mother Nature! Let those tulips grow! I see them! Let the birds sing! No more snow, please!

I wish seasons could freeze in time and it could be Spring all the time. It's the best time of the year.
