Did you “spring forward” this weekend?

I did. Only I forgot to spring forward this morning when it was time to get my kindergartner up for school. He was 10 minutes late.

Mom of the year.

I really, really want it to be spring. But all this snow that keeps covering my world is bringing me down.

I ordered some steakburgers last week to officially kick off spring grilling season. Even if it’s not quite time for short-sleeved tees and capri pants. (Are those still in style? I feel like I’ve been buried under an avalanche for 5 years.)

My steakburgers arrived on Friday and I did something a little different this time. I ordered the tried-and-true classic steakburgers, but also some sweet Vidalia onion steakburgers.

I like that oniony flavor and I’m excited to try these out.

My plan is to blast “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles up into the sky until it starts to brighten up. Then, I’m gonna slip on my capris, grill me up some steakburgers and enjoy my meal on my patio furniture.

I might have to wear my parka while I’m doing all this, but I’m going to think positive.

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes . . .

Well, I finally got my celebratory steak dinner last night.

My husband and I waited until we put the kids to bed and we (okay, he) grilled up 4 yummy sirloin steaks.

Even though our part of the world received 7 inches of snow yesterday (so bad that schools were delayed 2 hours this morning) we grilled outside, darnit!

We really just wanted some old school steaks. And we got them.

I ate 1 and my husband ate 3. Um, he told me he skipped lunch and he was really hungry.

We turned off the lights, lit some candles and just talked about the difficult week we just had. Some good steaks and some good company always seem to make me feel better.

We decided that we never want to see the inside of a hospital again and that Will Ferrell’s new movie “Semi-Pro” is probably really bad — but we might go see it anyway.

(It was kind of a stream-of-consciousness discussion.)

Good food is the elixir for all the world’s problems. I hope you have some this weekend, too!

Okay. I love steak, but I can’t decide if the Web site I’m about to introduce you to takes it a bit too far.

It’s Meat-O-Matic.com. Perhaps you’ve heard of it?

Nah. Didn’t think so.

This is where you can purchase such goodies as a steak pullover hoodie, steak band-aids, a steak shower curtain and steak tile appliques.

Uh-huh. I want my bathroom decorated with steak.

And here’s a quote from the product description: “DIY bathroom decoration has never been meatier.”

Do you really want it to be meaty? 

Hey, I love steak (maybe more than your average Joe) but even I’m not convinced I want pictures of it covering my paper cuts.

Check it out for yourself. I just can’t be held responsible for it offending your sensibilities.
