I cannot wait for winter to be over. It’s been so sunny and pretty out lately. I am just waiting for warm breezes, light jackets, singing birds, strolls through Central Park, bar nights on the street, and a social scene and wardrobe that just screams freedom! I loathe winter coats, and movement impeding weather. I am a pretty fast and direct walker, and when it’s cold it shivers me to the bones! Therefore, I slow down.
As you know with spring comes rebirth. Flowers bloom, babies are born, and everyone gains a fresh attitude. I always feel like March 20th is the last day of the year. Winter is all nasty and stale to me by this point of the year. It’s like an ashtray filled with old butts (and the cigarettes are all Marlboro Reds). Yuck. I feel like I got something loose in my caboose. Like I just wanna put on my best duds and shake what my momma gave me! Not that I can’t shake what my momma gave me right now, but I’m moving and you know how much that time that leaves you with . Zero.
Before I know it though I will be in a new place and in a new season. I got a whole new workout routine that includes this bike and excersize machine that I have purchased. I am so excited to start bike riding. Every time I get on a bike I feel like I am the female version of Lance Armstrong and I get all carried away with the wind lapping on my face and my hair blowing in the wind. If there were no rules and no obstacles (people, street corners, cars) I would ride my little ass into the ground and wear my tires out trying to see how fast I could go. I love speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!
I also took yet another personality test today (why is for another blog at another time), and according to Dr. Helen Fisher, out of 4 types- Builder, Explorer, Director, and Negotiator, I am an Explorer! So you see, I am not made for this drab season. What is there to explore, especially if you’re not a snow bunny? I suppose it’s the whole if you have lemons make lemonade sort of thing, which I have done and will do, but I thrive best in the warmer climates.
Speaking of which, a hiking trip is soon to come. Bombs away! Look out for pics next month.
Til then be well, and here is my tune of the day:
Otis Redding- Try a Little Tenderness
I love this song, and I love how it gets all funky and soulful towards the end.
