It's so weird. Now that I'm working, when I actually have a minute to blog, I can't think of anything to blog about. My poor little babe is really sick but I don't want to think about that right now. I want to think about something that makes me happy. Spring! Holy cow, spring is pretty much here. It's supposed to be 70 degrees this week! What the? This is awesome and this past winter had to be the lamest ever. I mean that in a good way and am not complaining one bit. It was nice not busting my ass on the ice for once!
Spring means a few things in my house...
SHORTS! My husband loves shorts. He is always hot and seems to much rather wear shorts than jeans. Me, on the other hand, I pretty much wouldn't be caught dead in shorts. At least not in this country. Vacation is another story. We also have so many pairs of shorts for my little guy that were gifted from my sister.
MY BIRTHDAY! I used to be more excited about this but it's still a good time. I get an extra day off from my company to celebrate. That's a great gift if you ask me.
THE INDY 500! We love Indy Car Racing. Last year I was pregnant and still went. Biggest mistake of my life! The stars certainly were not aligned for that to have been a success. I won't dwell but I was a huge bitch. Sorry guys! I promise I'll make it up to you.
POOLSIDE! I love me some pool time. I wish there was a pool in my neighborhood, but alas, there isn't. Luckily, my sister lives super close and there is a pool in hers. Last summer, she loaned me the key and I went there a few times with my big old pregnant belly and a book. There really is nothing better. I can't wait to take my buddy there. He loves bath time, so I assume he will be a water baby like me!
FLOWERS! I actually planted some tulips this past fall and I can't wait to see how they look. We also have a lilac tree that I can't wait to bloom. My mom gave that to use last year and due to the shock of the move, we didn't see any blooms.
DRESSES! With no tights of course! Now, my substitute for shorts is a cute dress or skirt. I know this doesn't make much sense but I just love them!
COOKOUTS! Any excuse for a get together. I feel that there are so many friends that we haven't seen in a very long while. I've tried! Now that we are all starting to have children, or getting married or just plain busy, it's hard to coordinate the time and have it work for everyone's schedules.
RENEWAL! There is just something about this season that brings on a fresh start. The theme of rebirth is universal. It's also a great excuse to clean the house.
