Although it seems like another lazy Saturday, what I really should be doing is laundry, vacuuming, dusting and cleaning throughout the apartment. It's 1 pm and I haven't lifted a finger yet. Well, not entirely true. I've lifted that one finger to read the news on the internet, read some of the blogs I follow and pour myself a comforting bowl of Fruit Loops.
It always amazes me how my mind tends to create this gigantic list of things it wants to accomplish when the weekend approaches and yet, when Friday comes, there is this vision of a crumpled up sheet of binder paper laying next to the wastebasket, symbolizing my lack of devotion to said list.
I'd like to blame anything but myself for this laziness. The true reason always seems to come back to one thought - Mother Nature is a bitch. I hate winter! And even worse, I hate when it looks like winter is over but then she has no problem dumping another 12 inches of snow at your doorstep. Oh the horror!
I'm looking forward to Spring. Getting back outside to do whatever it is I used to do when I felt alive with the sun shining down on me. I'm sure that sounded like some song lyric from years gone by but it's true. I enjoy the natural heat from the sun, the bright colours of nature (when it doesn't look dead) and the ability to go anywhere without having to dress with 47.2 layers of clothing. Knowing that I want to go outside and enjoy the warm weather allows me to be more productive with apartment cleaning. The faster I get it cleaned, the sooner I'm outside LIVING!!!!
But, the true realization of this day is - I'm about to turn 33 and I still like eating Fruit Loops!
