You know you've been studying too long. . . .

When your rear end actually hurts from your lap-top bag slapping it so many times on your rounds around the library looking for needed books. . . or when you hear the library closing announcement and that just means it's time to change your working location. . . or maybe when you go to check your email and you realize that you're typing in your password for EBSCO Host. . .

I'm in my big paper crunch time these last and next few weeks and I'm already over-indulging on coffee and baklava and burritos, not all at once, but those are a few of my favorites lately. . . The hard part about doing so much homework right now is that the weather has been absolutely beautiful--the kind of days when the sunlight seems elastic and the air feels cool but not cold on your skin. Japanese magnolias, hyacinths, tulips, daffodils, and soft green grass that make me want to be outside smelling them or at least inside painting my toes to match them. . . When I've turned in the last of my three papers, I'll post some spring pictures, until then maybe I'll start carrying my lap-top:)

yours has become one of my favorite sites to visit. At the least, I'm glad being in the library gives you time to blog. One of my favorite things to do in the library was to sit at a large corner desk hidden away on the 4th floor, something like in my own world - as if I had walked through the back of the wardrobe. Hope you find just that kind of place - and that yours is filled with Japanese magnolias and hyacinths. And maybe even some toe-nail polish.

our 20 minute respite last night was pistachio ice cream and peals of forbidden laughter in a dark theater. I send you a soft cushiony pad for your rear end for the lap top and for hard library chairs. and i send you mango salsa for your burrito. in case you continue to eat them!
