Spring Has Sprung

My mom's a good mom, and therefore instilled in me the conviction that it is a sin to be indoors on a beautiful day. Today is such a day. It is 60 degrees and sunny and sometime between yesterday and today the grass turned green. But I am supposed to be nailing down details on next Sunday's Young Life Mattress Run. So I've confined myself to a dark corner of Dunn Bro's, far away from windows, so as to remove the temptation of fresh air and sunshine. This kind of offense might be justifiable, were I actually being productive and getting my work done and getting the Mattress Run planned. But I'm not. I've been here an hour and all I've done for the event was open the word document with the information. Distractions abound; I currently have a terrible case of wanderlust, a growing list of articles and books I want to be reading, and a 10K to be training for. Also, I've been suppressing my creativity for months now, and I hear that if you do that for long enough, um, your hair will all fall out. Okay, I just made that up. But, still, it can't be good for you, right? Hrm. Alright. I'm going to get down to business and then have time to goof off guilt free. Yep. That's the plan, Scotty. And here I go.
