Left Brain, Right Brain

Just this week, it was in the mid-50s and even a little spring rain fell! We got a light thundershower on Saturday morning, I have been going out with little more than a light jacket, and all the snow had disappeared! Most of it was already gone for a few weeks already, but it was starting to really really feel and smell like spring was coming.

This morning, I heard Jon open the front and back doors, utter a few obscenities, and then yell from the kitchen, "Amber! You better look out the window!!"

Oh. My. God.

( MERRY CHRISTMAS!...??? )

This has been a silly winter. We get huge amounts of snow dumped on us, and then it melts into slush right away, and then it dumps on us again! This morning when we were waking up to the radio, we heard that today's high was supposed to be near 40, and then we should get several inches of snow tonight. What??

Jon said this whole winter has been like a cross between winter and spring. He suggests we refer to it as "sprinter". ^_^

Yesterday was like 76 degrees here in the Cities. And I was here at work. It seems like I'm at work like 40 hours every WEEK. Ha.

So anyway, we had a very nice thunderstorm that hit rather suddenly and woke me up at 3:00 this morning. There was even hail. I could hear it. I laid in bed thinking, "Oh great, now I'm going to have big holes in my sunroof in addition to the driver's side mirror that is still being held on with duct tape.

Even now, as I write, at 9:30 PM it is still 60 degrees!! Jon and I sat on his porch swing after work this evening. Then we went for a drive with the sunroof open and a warm fragrant breeze kissing our faces. :) He wanted to show me a residential lot for sale that he is interested in buying. I have not been to thrilled with any of the other lots he's looked at, but this one is just beautiful! It's actually IN Roseville, and you can't get better than that for location, and it's probably less than 5 miles away from the neighborhood that we both live in, just off of Hwy 36! The lot is at the end of a cul-de-sac in a very nice residential neighborhood (not out in the boonies and backwoods like some of the places he's looked at - yuck!) and there neighborhood has lots of very large old trees, which is something I always feel makes a place feel more 'homey' and, ummm...... established, I guess. All the houses are nice and well-maintained, and some of them are really quite huge! And there is a nice little lake about a block or 2 away from the lot he showed me. Of course, there are little lakes scattered all over here in the Cities, but it is still nice.

Roseville is a HIGHLY desirable place to live in the Twin Cites area. It is centrally located, but not as "urban" as, say, Minneapolis proper. My apartment here is 1 mile away from Jon's place in one direction, and 2.3 miles away from my work in the other direction. If I ever do move, I would like to stay as close to this area as possible. You just can't get much better than Roseville! *sigh* *sappy grin* *batting eyelashes*


Oh hey! On a totally different note, I found out about half an hour ago that Johnnie Cochran died!!! HOLY CRAP! I thought that guy was invincible!!!
