You know how it is when you think that you are going someplace warm and tropical, then you don’t.  Weird stuff happens.  Take for instance the simple trip to the greenhouse for some Easter cat grass, it turns into a sixty dollar splurge of greens that do somehow make you feel better.

I’ve also spent a great deal of time looking at flights out of here!  But, it’s really pricey to go someplace fun, and I’m a writer whose most successful money making operation in the past year has been a palm reading gig (totally open for business, call me!).

There is nothing else to do in this situation but have a little food therapy.  Just make something that feels summery and then pretend.

Honestly, it doesn’t take much to convince this Maine girl that I’m someplace warm and tropical.  It’s all in the attitude people!  Though, a nice trip to Costa Rica still sounds fabulous. The warmth will come soon enough…
