Ahhhh....and ugh.

Spring is in the air around here and I couldn't be happier about it!  The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and I am uncharacteristically giddy.  I love being outside and taking in the warmth the sun has to offer, playing with my little girl, and generally being in bliss during my favorite season.  The flowers bloom, the grass turns green, and I feel like Snow White with all the creatures swarming around me while I sing to them and the look at me adoringly. 

With that being said, there is a flipside to spring that isn't so pretty or pleasant.  It of course has to do with people.  I am not a big fan of people and that's exactly why I don't surround myself with them.  Back to spring.  Spring is the time when people can't quite figure out how to dress.  The first inkling of a nice spring day and people are wearing short shorts and tank tops with flip-flops.  They are also wearing those short shorts from last year that they have most likely outgrown, leading me to see things that I don't necessarily want to see.  And the flip-flops.  Please spare my retinas and scrub your feet a bit (or more) before you don your summer shoes.  Maybe put on a dab of lotion, something

I am going to try a little something new and try to have faith in my fellow humans because, well, what's the harm?  I will try to hang on to that faith as long as I can but don't be surprised about how quickly it goes.  I am a somewhat impatient person.

Well, enjoy the beginning of Spring and try not to sprain your eyeballs on any of the monstrosities I went on a rant about!

I totally agree...the only thing worse than the general public is middle school girls! I have seen way too many girls in short shorts already and I will never be able to unsee some of them! I just want to know why their parents let them dress like skanks! I know the excuse is that they are at work when the kids get dressed for school, but someone has to buy the clothes for them!
