Simple Randomness

The Weather is Officially Annoying Me

I was all excited to go for a nice walk this weekend with our new jogging stroller, but now I’m wondering if that will even be possible. Why you may ask? Because we got another inch of snow last night!

So now it’s about noon and the snow has all melted away.  Maybe I should just move to San Diego where I hear the temperature is much more stable year round…but then again I’d have to pay for the higher gas prices and everything else for living in California…nevermind!

I guess in the end I just wish the seasons would behave.  I really wasn’t expecting to see an inch of snow in mid April.  And I thought that we were all suffering from Global Warming!  If that was the case, why would I see snow in April?  Who knows, who knows.

I just hope the weather stays nice so my wife and I can start jogging again.  I’m really looking forward to that!

Spring is HERE!!! Or at Least the Calendar Says So…

On a lighter note (compared to my last post), the calendar officially says that Spring is here!  Yes Winter has finally left the land and we can expect to hear all of the birds start to chirp and all of the flowers start to come out!

I wish it was that simple…

Seriously…who decided that you can just put a day on the calendar and say that it’s the first day of Spring?  Did someone expect that nature would just comply?  Well, obviously not.  Last I heard we’re supposed to get more snow in my area this week.  Not cool.

But then in other parts of the country I hear that the Spring floods have already started….oh goodie!

Yes, this is officially a Random Griping… I think that we should just judge the seasons by when they seem like the season is what it should be.  Maybe we can nominate an official ‘Season Declarer Man’ that will watch for the real signs of a season and make a national announcement.  Then again, scratch that idea.  The government is getting too big as it is ;-).

Getting the Feeling the Spring is Almost Here

As you may well know, I’m sick of winter… But I’m getting the feeling that spring is almost here.

How can I tell?  Because I feel like my allergies are coming early!  I get hay fever just about every year, but usually it doesn’t hit until May, and then again in late July or early August.  But for some reason this year as soon as it started to get warm I started to sneeze a little bit more than normal.  Granted, this is not full on hay fever, but it’s reminding me of one of the things I don’t like about spring and summer….

I’m beginning to realize that I don’t have a favorite season.  I know a lot of people do, but I guess I’m not one of those people…  Oh well!

Getting Anxious For Spring to Arrive…

I have to admit that I’m officially to the point where I’m getting sick of winter and want Spring to come. I think I mentioned before that I tend to go through this cycle each year where for the first few weeks of a season I love it, then I’m ready for it to be over. Well I hit that point with Winter about 2 weeks ago.

I think the turning point for me this year was the insane blizzard that we had last week that knocked our power out for 8 hours. I know that only having the power out for that long is short compared to other outages that have happened around the country, but it was enough for me to think “OK, time for Spring!”

I can also say that I think I enjoyed winter a lot more when I used to go skiing a lot. Honestly I think it’s been 4 years since I went skiing. Too bad too cause I really love to go skiing. But since I now have 2 kids and a lot of other things going on I just don’t seem to find the time to go. I know I know…priorities right? Maybe next year I’ll make skiing a priority again!

Thoughts On The Seasons

I find the question, “What is your favorite season” to be a funny one. I know that some people love the Spring. Others love Fall. And then there are a few random people that really really like the Winter. I’m the kind of person that I like all of the seasons, at least at the beginning.

Maybe I’m just indecisive. But when Summer starts, I’m usually really excited for it. Then, when it’s getting really really hot, I’ve decided that I’m done with Summer and want it to be Fall. Then Fall comes and its all nice and dandy, but after a while I kinda wish it would be Summer again.

Does anyone else go through this?

I remember as a kid I was always really really excited for Winter to come. It meant snow forts, skiing, and all sorts of fun stuff. Even up to 3 years ago I would still look forward to Winter. This year though, I’m not as excited for it as I have been in the past. I guess the next couple of weeks will show how I really feel about it.
