Has winter abandoned us? This voice not coming from a sad place inside but a place long remembering and longing for open-toed wedge slingbacks and short summer dresses (perhaps paired with a wide brim hat and excessively large sunglasses). Hanging halfway out the window of the car, sunroof open and reflecing rays upon the natural highlights rooting from the season, singing loud and smiling. It seems everyone is happier when it's sunnier. Is it the sun that controls our mood entirely?
Did winter pack it's bags and head to the south for some fun in the sun? A long sought after vacation it just so happened to get a steal on with priceline.com? I've been having that feeling all winter long. The feeling of escaping, getting away, heading for warmer weather regardless of where. Just take me there!!
We haven't had it tough. It's been a fairly mild winter and we must consider ourselves lucky. I mean Nebraska winters are NEVER any fun, let's be honest. I believe it's also a combination that clashes with our age. When we were younger, and as I see the kids playing in the snow and not minding the chill whatsoever. However, I am shaking to the core and my bones are frozen solid. I feel I wasn't this bad when I was younger. I could build snowmen with the rest of 'em and go in to warm up to a hot cup of chocolate (with marshmallows of course). It now takes me days to warm up...suddzy hot bubble baths included.
However, is this the end of the cold and the beginning of breezy and sunny days ahead? Shall we pack up the coats and winter attire and get ready for the SPF and bathing suits? I am just not QUITE convinced yet.
What do you think?

It is surprising to learn that you are enjoying in Omaha a better weather than we do here in this part of the hemisphere. You are lucky there, and it would be real nice if those warm winter days continue through the rest of the season. But, do not hurry to pack up your winter clothes. The weather makes sometimes violent changes... (here it did) Nice to read you, Ashley :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading :)
ReplyDeleteAnd to ease your mind, I won't be packing up anything quite yet. I was trying my hardest to pass over the weather channel completely while browsing for something interesting to watch and still be in denial about this awesome weather. However, there it was. Not as bad as it could be but the forecast for tge beginning of next week has nothing worth blogging errrr... Bragging about :)
Won't be long. Summer will be here soon enough and I will be most likely complaining that it's too damn hot and humid. Lol. Such is the weather here in NE. The land of extremes.
In the meantime, thanks again for reading. Check back or follow up later :)
