Happy Tuesday!!!

So what is on the agenda today? Anything good for dinner tonight?

QOTD: What is your favorite part about spring? Any spring plans/activities?

Recovery from not too much sleep last night and have a client meeting today. I'm going to make a spicy prawn pasta for dinner.

QOTD: love having the sun out for more hours (when it's sunny). After a dark winter, you just feel rejuvenated! No specific activities planned for me.

Getting my eyebrows threaded and tinted. Hopefully this distracts from the bags under my eyes? Like mrsukyankee I didn't get enough sleep last night.

QOTD: I love the spring isn't winter. We are big walkers and anytime I go go for a stroll in pleasant weather I am happy.

Thinking about inviting some friends over for an Easter lunch and craft next week. Going to troll Pinterest for some craft and meal ideas.

Anyone have suggestions for a craft that the preschool crowd could mostly do on their own and that doesn't require specialty craft supplies (not enough time to order online and limits to what I can find on the island)?

@bandwife, I think anything involving colouring and glue with coloured paper would work for pre-schoolers.

Morning!

Today is pretty quiet :-) Working all day, then teaching Zumba at a new compound tonight. Hopefully it will go well! :-) I have taught Zumba for a few years now, but it's always makes me a little nervous doing it for new people!

No idea what I'll have for dinner. I made some spinach pizza last night, so maybe finish up the last few pieces of that. It was good ;-) And it had spinach, so I pretend it's healthy.

QOTD: I feel like the seasons blend together here, but I guess my favorite part is just enjoying the cooler temperatures before the summer hits. It is a great time to do some outdoor things - camping, kayaking, etc. Once the summer hits, it's too hot for that kind of stuff!

No real plans for the Spring. My friends may do an Easter brunch in a few weeks. We're also doing a quick trip to Vienna in May for a little getaway, but otherwise, we'll be relaxing in Doha, while the rest of the expats make their exit for the summer!

Oh, spinach pizza sounds really good. I wish I had some here... And I agree - spinach makes everything healthy

QOTD: The warmth. I love, love, love the warmth when the sun finally starts to warm things up. I also love the pretty flowers and the garden in general - my tulips have started to bloom and my herbs are sprouting.

Morning! Nothing new to write. I am being so lazy today. I guess after being stuck at home for a few days, I am used to not doing too much, i hope to drag myself to the supermarket soon.

QOTD seeing the sun and just being outside. I have an irrational hate of the months jan-march so I am happy when spring is here.

For dinner, see the thread about things that are a PITA to make!

QOTD: I love the smell of the air. The fresh breeze with a bit of warmth to it. Love it. And it's different in the Midwest than it is here (much more arid here), so that one's of my favorite things when I get home, the smell of the air.

I'm going to an evening class for most of the night after work. I will eat whatever is convenient on the way today. It's the first day so I need to get the hang of that routine. It'll be two nights a week for about 2 months.

QOTD: I love spring and warm weather. I also love summer and hot weather. I basically like the whole year except for late winter, so I don't like Jan/Feb/or "lion" March. I like March if it is milder. I even like milder winters. I hated this winter, it was everything that I don't like in a winter. 

As far as spring specifically, I love almost everything. I love the cute clothes, the ability to be outside, the flowers and plants. I like spending time in parks. I love spring in nearly any city or town that has some green space and elements of an urban outdoor lifestyle. It's the sort of season where I'll be sipping a cappuccino or a nice beer on a terrace somewhere people-watching. I also like to get out and exercise outdoors after being cooped up. I also love the anticipation of summer.

I love the sunny days with or without white puffy clouds. I don't mind the gentle breezes. I don't even mind some overcast weather or drizzling because I know it is good for the plants. I only don't like if it's unseasonably chilly or has unrelenting torrential rain. So far though, it's been beautiful this year.
