Jenna's House of Idiosyncrasies Version 10.0 [Focus.]

In Bloom

April 4, 2006 - 11:46pm

This week saw the first real sign of spring here in the Classic City. The sun came out in earnest, the weather warmed, sunglasses became more of a necessity than a lazy fashion accessory. Most undesirable, allegies began acting up. But in any case, we were convinced that we were finally free of the harsh winter that had so far gone on to long, and a legion of sun worshipers made every excuse to be outside between hectic work schedules and being required to show up for class.

We had settled into the spring, and embraced the warmth with a whole heart, as you must do if you plan to reside in Georgia for any amount of time. We broke out the thin t-shirts, the cheap flip-flops, and retired our coats. Too eager were we to give up the cold, however, and today found many shivering against strong winds, unprepared in their light clothing, but refusing to give up what they had known for a few short days. Muscles tensed, compacted the bodies they belong to, trying despite their owners to warm.

Fuck January. This is the new year, and I for one am ready to throw myself headlong into it, if only it would come on with some sincerity.

I almost feel sorry for you. Our "feels like" this week gets down to 21 degrees. It's snowing tomorrow. Beautiful entry though! I'm just a bitter Northern biatch :) xoxo

This is a very pretty post. I would like to continue Sarah's theme, however, and tell you that as I look out of my office window, gigantic snowflakes are raining down. Tons of them. And the sky is *green.* Oh, and some of the snowflakes are going up, not down. But I think that may be because I'm on the 21st floor. p.s. - I'm jealous.

Jenna, I feel you. If only it would come on. It's like that here. Warm but with FREEZING winds. Geebus. Spring, come on! Cherry Blossoms, come on! I want sunshine and flip flops!
