I am coming down with it....

Okay it is official I've got it, SPRING FEVER!
I am done being stuck inside, and yes I am stuck inside because I refuse to go out in the cold. It is not the same as when I was young. Those days of snowmen, and snowball fights are long gone. It is no longer enjoyable to me, maybe I am a lame-o but it just is not what it used to be. Now it is just plain old cold. That's it, just cold. I will admit that there are moments in the winter that I enjoy, like when the snow has just fallen or it is foggy and the branches of all the trees, and the blades of grass are all white. That really is beautiful. I took these pictures a while ago at one of those moments.

Snow and the cold are also great for Christmas, it just feels more like Christmas ya know?
But other than that I prefer...

SPRING!!!!!!

Spring is wonderful. I can't wait to get out and go on long walks with Clara! That is really what I am looking forward to most! It is so refreshing to be able to get out into the fresh air and not freeze my tail off! And perhaps I am lazy, but I am so much more willing to get out and exercise when I only have to go as far as my backyard to get there instead of plan out a whole outing, including a babysitter just to go to the gym. The gym has not been working out for me so well, it is just too much of a hassle. Anyway, I can just picture Chris and I going jogging with Clara in the jogging stroller. If I go on walks every day and then go jogging I should be able to kick the last of the unwanted pounds. Hopefully Clara loves being outside as much as she did when she was just a few months old. She would be screaming and I could take her outside and WHAM, immediately she calmed down! I could take an hour long walk and she would stay calm the entire time. So I guess only time will tell if she still likes to be outside.

I am burning up dreaming of the mornings when I wake up and can hear the birds singing, the sun is shining, the air is just warm, and you can just smell spring in the air! Oh and the flowers! I LOVE flowers! Everything starts to turn green, beautiful green. I miss the green, I hardly remember what green looks like! But it won't be long, then I will be cured of this sickness.
