Spring Ahead!

     All winter long I have to tell myself that Summer is close, even though it is miles and miles away. I love when it starts to get warm out and the sun melts all the snow. But then Mother Nature has to rain on our parade. Or snow, rather. This is the kind of event that makes me want to pack up and head south. Like last week for instance. I was POSITIVE that Spring was on its way and then BAM. Look at it outside today. I woke up and wanted to cry untill the cows came home.

     But soon, I'm sure, it will get a little sunnier and warmer each day, and the snow will melt. Then we will come to the gross part of the year where mud is in a wild abundance. No need to go to the ice cream store because you can go outside and scoop up a nice cup of slush out of the lake on your front lawn that seems like its going to last until next Christmas.
     For these reasons and many more, I HATE Spring. I am looking forward to March 13th, which is the date of when we set the clocks ahead. This is when it hits me that Summer is speeding closer and closer. This is when I start to go through all my Summer clothes and long to wear them in the blistering heat. This is when I prepare to get my tan on by going and buying the necessary products of summer:

• Tanning lotion
• New bikini
• AVIATORS
• Activities to keep you occupied while tanning (magazines, books etc.)
• Flippy flops
• '88-'89 Shamrock Christmas Champions Trucker Hat

So basically, I HATE Spring for delaying Summer.
