Bloggers Block

I am waiting for something exciting, or hilarious, or insightful to blog about…. no such luck. We are officially in the doldrums of winter, and I’m afraid until the thermometer reaches 50 degrees again, life seems less than blog worthy. I think that this is something only Michiganders (and other Midwesterners) can truly understand. February comes along, and we hang all of our hopes on spring. It’s all we can talk about. It is amazing what a balmy 50 degrees can do for the soul. I wonder what people in Florida would think if they came to Michigan for that first burst of spring we get. We must look like idiots. It is only 20 degrees above freezing and we have our car windows down, hanging our heads out like golden retrievers. We open every window in our home, turn off the heat, and send our kids out on their bikes. My personal favorite are the ding bats you see (often at a store beginning with WAL) donning their finest denim shorts. All this being said I am suffering from an acute case of Spring Fever and I need a prescription for sunshine and a warm breeze (and an umbrella drink). STAT!
