springtime for minnesota

i've learned so much about myself at my new job. like the fact that people who live in other parts of the country think people are crazy to live in minnesota. it's as if they think we live in igloos or something.

but then a day like today hits. it's supposed to be 50 degrees today. it completely sums up minnesota insanity.

all you want is to spend the entire day outside, yet there is nothing to do outside this time of year. sure, you can jog. more power to the joggers. but i'm still in hibernation and it would completely throw off my body's clock if i suddenly ran outside today.

there's no gardening, no outdoor seating at coffee shops. just puddles of melted snow and a bunch of bug-eyed people who are able to stave off cabin fever for a few more days with a few hours spent outside. yeah, we are crazy. but not many people in our country get to enjoy ice rinks in their backyards for free. or get that feeling of freedom and happiness on a 50 degree day in february.

blissful joy!
