"Signs of spring"

[likethebeer]

That's what the sidebar advertisement from JC Penney told me, replete with a pretty girl in a sort of lay-over hairstyle, and green sweater.

It hit 42 today (yeah!). All apologies to my friends up north. I know it's cruel to even mention that. I walked outside and had that moment of, "It's not painful right now. wtf?" And holy crap, high tomorrow near 50! Snow predicted on Wednesday, but shit, this is glorious.

Still, I will not see flowers until late March. I will not see tree buds until late April. I will fear the appearance of snow until the same time. So I'm not thinking of pastels right now. I'm still trying to figure out how to wear that sweater mda's sister gave me. It's not light green but an olive green, and needs to be worn in cooler weather.

I'm happy enough w/the outlook so the official "I finally hate winter" is put off. For a few days, maybe a week.

Yeah, we went for a community walk to the G-spot yesterday - too nice to stay in. It seemed so absurd, though, we had to fabricate an excuse.

That's the way it gets. You feel like you have to have a plan. Well, it's not like you can lay in the backyard.

We have also had higher temperatures than normal during the day, but that also means that at night everything ices over.

It's been raining/sleeting/snowing for a day and a half now. Should be interesting if it gets really cold again. (And by that I mean that I'll have trouble commuting to work for the next week because of idiot drivers on the road. ;) )

we pray for salt.

As much as I b*tch about winter, if there's going to be precipitation, let it be in the 20s or below :) 52 tomorrow!
