There’s something about the first showing of warm weather after a brutal winter that makes everyone’s demeanor perk up. I’m pretty sure that it’s called “spring fever” because everyone has a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell outdoor activities.
Anywho, the temperatures finally got into the sexy sixties this week here in St. Louis. I call it the sexy sixties because that’s usually the temperature mark where people start shedding their winter-clothing in favor of short-shorts and sleeveless shirts. I personally must be cold hearted because I have to wait until the high 70′s to shed my cardigans and jeans in favor of shorts and v-neck tees. But as soon as the magical 60′s hit I have an urge to kick open the windows and clean. So my spring cleaning event kicked off earlier this week, and I’m assuming I’ll be back living the bum life by next week.
In celebration of this short stint of warm weather, I am tinkering around with a new design here on chelsycupcake.com (I updated the “About” page too!). I am also daydreaming of summertime shenanigans and ice cream runs. But let me know your thoughts, it’s been a while since I’ve tinkered around in Photoshop (thanks again Joe!)
I aint hip. I prefer the seasons in accord with the natural order; but don’t misunderstand – there are quirks.
personally I enjoy the winter so much more than the summer or spring, the fall is probably my favorite though.
I like the new look of the page by the way!
The Green Guerilla
I missed the seasons when I lived in CA. I don’t miss them since I moved back. The hot summers and cold winters are truly miserable. I’m getting old.
Where I work we refer to it as “the day of distraction.” It’s that first really summery day right at the tail end of the spring semester. Suddenly all the clothes come off the younger people and all the paunchy middle aged people just walk around smiling and getting no work done. It’s not an “official” DOD unless actual swimwear is seen on campus, however.
