Hello to Spring and Goodbye to the Turtles

Two weekends ago on Sunday Sam and I were outside in the Arlington park walking... He had on shorts and I was wearing a short sleeved shirt. The weather was so pretty and sunny. Today I don't know the temperature, but I know it's definitely dreary looking out there. So, on my treadmill in my warm house I will be! Even though I've lived in the Memphis area my whole life, the crazy weather continues to surprise and baffle me. I can't wait for spring... the first time it's warm enough for flip flops, the first time I get to get out my capris to wear to school, the first sign of my lilies coming back in my flowerbed, the urge to completely strip my flowerbed bare of plants and replant all new things (every flippin' year I do this! when will I learn??? :) ), no longer needing the big heavy down comforter on my bed (even though I will use it anyway!), and all the other little things that make it feel that the nice warm days are here again. Can't wait!
This morning I've finished off my favorite chocolates, Turtles. Sam bought me a box of them for Valentine's Day. For the first three days, I was so good that I didn't even open the plastic wrapping on the box. I was the queen of will power! Then, Tuesday came... I broke down and ate one. On Wednesday, yep, I ate two. It's easy to guess what happened Thursday and Friday. This morning I woke up thinking about how many might be left in the pretty heart shaped box. There were three, and now they're gone. Time to get on the treadmill. Thank goodness Valentine's Day comes just once a year!
