So what's everyone up to this spring?  New projects, old projects, just enjoying the season, or still shoveling your way out of the drive way?   

This season I'm hoping to get back to biking and walking as much as possible.  I've also got a TON of projects I want to start, but I'm trying to just keep caught up on everything that has been done before jumping into anything else too time consuming.

galadriel: with master thesis do you mean this final work you have to write for getting your license or the very huge one to become doctor? if it's the former: i did that in the summer (science is unpredictable sometimes and i was stuck waiting for some data and too lazy). i wanted to do a doctorat but finally decided it was so not worth the trouble (boring!).
i hope to start a new painting soon (slowed down by photolab). ugh, the weather's crap and don't seem to be improving soon. it's april for crying out loud!!! 

Springtime is meeting time, so I"ll be spending the next few weeks trying to keep awake.    It's also time to get my outdoor funiture out of storage so I can have my weekend breakfasts on the porch again!

Spring is usually slow here in MN but this year it came in with a bang and is hanging around!  (Watch - now it will snow again ) 

I've pulled my bike off the trainer and have started doing weekend and afternoon rides.  Keep hoping for morning temps to improve so I can ride to work.  I'm such a wimp - I don't like to ride when the temps are below 40F.

Hubby is looking for hunting land, so we are making many trips north to look at land.  Tromping through wet, soggy swamps and woods - whoo hoo!  On the up side, I get lots of knitting done in the car. 

I'm busy knitting socks for the Russian orphans.  Hope to have a dozen done soon to ship off.

Oh yes, and work.  At least the tax season is over for me and we can return to a more normal workload.

This spring I'm anxiously awaiting the chance to sign up for intermediate guitar lessons at the Mesa Arts Center.  Its a brand new building-very cool as it is purple and there will be specific rooms for music so we won't have to share with the other art classes

I'm rededicating myself to bellydancing, this winter I've hardly danced at all-it sure was a rough one.

I hope to start hiking these mountains with hubby on Saturdays.

Usually in spring and summer I start planning trips to Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health- some for personal growth and some for yoga teacher enhancement.  Eventually I hope to have 500 hours YTT accumulated at Kripalu.

More singing, of course, maybe this fall I'll feel confident enough to get into a community choir or audition for community theatre.

Oh yeah, I plan on eating like a French woman.  Any pointers, Styg?

BB-I hope it doesn't snow for you.  Perhaps you could head it off with a rain dance?

Boy Scout stuff??  My son was a Eagle Scout.  Hubby and I were very active with his troup.  In many ways, I miss the scouting.  I could always plan on one weekend a month to have the house to myself while they went camping.  I liked interacting with the boys.  <sigh>  I'm getting OLD!

uh? i dunno. i don't think either french people are especially thin if that's what your aiming for.

oh, forgot to tell you, both my bf and his friend (who's living close by so i am surrounded!!) are philosophers who started their doctorat thesis like ten years ago. my bf lost interest in ending it, especially since the whole academic world just makes him puke.i dunno if his friend will finish hers but i doubt it, she was to happy quiting her job "trying to teach philosophy to uniterested dumb highschool kids on weed".
