Spring Habits

So, like the weather, I seem to be thawing. Unbeknownst to me, I hibernated this winter. This became remarkably obvious when I came home from work today, nestled into my spot on the couch and turned on the telly. This has been my sad existence since the first snow fall of this season.

The more I think about it, the more I realize how deep I climbed into my shell this winter. I really hate winter. I like the smell of spring air, the warmth of the sun on my face, and the feeling of green grass between my toes.

I am really sick of snow. To make me feel less depressed, I have compiled a top ten list of what I really look forward to this summer:

1. Having drinks on a patio.
2. BBQ!!!!
3. The Super Happy Fun Camping Trip.
4. Gardening in my backyard.
5. Camping with T.J.
6. Evening walks, when the sun is still up, the neighbours are out in their yards, and I am not frozen!
7. Thunderstorms and still-frame lightning shots!
8. The festivals downtown.
9. Running outside.
10. Golfing, tennis and kicking a soccer ball around!

Wow, I feel better. I hope you do too.

This weekend I cleaned the house. My spring cleaning. I love the smell of cleaner. Go figure.

I can't wait to open every window in my house, hear the birds sing, and watch everything come to life again.

I also can't wait to retire some place much, much warmer. I think my parents have a very good idea. Snow should only be experienced on mountains in the distance.
