We've just finished 'spring' break and it looks more like mid-November outside. Sometimes I just want to hibernate until July. And some of us can't afford (or don't choose to go into debt for) spring break travel. We stay home and paint the kitchen, install new carpet, etc. My husband (and most normal people) doesn't even get spring break. That's a marketing ploy dreamt up by merchandisers to cash in on school vacation and lure us into buying.

So what was supposed to be restful turns out to be more headache and work. And I am not a bear who can hole up till spring. I have to keep going. If you suffer from end-of-winter-should-be-spring-looks-like-January-feels-November-itis, take heart. I've got ten tips to rejuvenate you until the calendar and the weather agree.
