Top five reasons I'm glad it's March

• It's no longer February. February has always been my least favorite month of the year. Dark. Brr.
• Spring Training is underway. Go Giants! Go Red Sox! (Yes, I have dual loyalties. I'm a National League girl at heart, but I also have to root for our hometown--home region?--boy, Jacoby Ellsbury . This drives my dyed-in-the-wool-third-generation-Giants-Fan brothers NUTS.)
  
• Daylight Saving Time begins. More day at the end of the day.
  
• St. Patrick's Day. Hey, 1/4 Irish is still Irish. I actually like corned beef and cabbage.
  
• Spring officially begins on the calendar. Which means only another couple of months until it reaches Central Oregon...but a girl can dream, can't she?
