Spring Fever

Can you feel it in the air? It's spring! And I just took my temperature. I've got spring fever. Anybody else feeling feverish? Oh, I'm restless. It's either spring or that 5th mocha-choca-latte I had. Or the Pop Rocks and Red Bull I had for breakfast.

It always happens to me around this time of year. It's getting warmer, the sun is shining, my winter coat is shedding, I'm in heat... I'm sorry. I'm thinking of my cat. Anyway, I love the spring, and I love doing springy things. Here's what I'm talking about...

These are the Top 5 Springiest Things You Can Do:

#1) Break out the espadrilles and tube tops!

#2) Run through a field of daisies. If you can't find daisies, daffodils will do ya. If you live in an urban area just run through the middle of the street... but do it naked. Trust me, that's very spring-y.

#3) Daydream. I've got a recurring daydream going on lately. I can't tell you all of it, but I will say it involves me, Ryan Gosling and Tootie from

"Facts of Life" in a very intense game of Boggle.

#4) Walk with a parasol. Nothing says it's spring like a parasol! Am I right, ladies of the 1800s? And, if you don't have a parasol, you can use an umbrella, but people will think it's raining just where you are... or just that you're cuckoo.

#5) Fall in love. And if you're not in love right now, I have three words of advice for you: Lower your standards.

next: It's Another Exciting 30 Seconds to Air Game!

GREAT blog!! I had to call my husband in so that I could read it to him. I was laughing so hard that he couldn't even understand what I was saying. Thanks for the laugh!!

You realy can't be in love unless the person that you love, loves you in the same way
I personally think that love was made to darken my soul. Here you go zar love this women, whoops looks like you'll never have a chance. Ha ha ha. Cosmic dismay for this lesbian.

ELLEN, HERE IS A FEW MORE TIPS FOR SPRING YOU FORGOT (ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN MICHIGAN) I live in Northern Michigan!

1. MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR CASE OF BUG SPRAY. Have you ever seen the size of MICHIGAN mosquitos? I swear they could wear a suit and knock on doors. Oh wait a minute, those are the other pesky things we have to deal with!

2. GET OUT THE SUPER DUPER INDUSTRIAL SIZE FLY SWATTER! 747's got nothing on these flies up here!

3. STOCK UP ON BENADRYL (also need a case of this....Sams club might be the best option)

4. MAKE SURE YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE POLICY IS UP TO DATE FOR THE FREQUENT EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS DUE TO ALLLERGIC REACTIONS TO BUG BITES, SUNBURN, SAND BURNS IN PLACES WHERE SAND SHOULDNT GET, SHOCK DUE TO THE PRICES OF GAS and MACKINAC BRIDGE FARE

5. GET YOUR SEWING KIT READY, CAUSE INVARIABLY, I WILL BE SEWING MY SWIM SUIT, CAUSE IT IS JUST A LITTLE TIGHTER THAN LAST SUMMER. (Probably from the Mackinac Fudge.....I live here and that is tooo close when it comes to fudge

6. GET WEDDING CONGRATULATION CARD READY TO SEND TO ELLEN & PORTIA! (Make it a really funny one though......the only way to fly with Ellen)

sure for the right price they will do anything

you forgot #6 Hire Katie as my massage therapist

Ellen's corny treatise on the arrival of spring is precisely why I've never been able to watch a full hour's-worth of her television program. Between Oprah, The View, The Marie Osmond Show, Ellen and countless mindless daytime soap operas and court "dramas," I'm beginning to think that collective American womanhood has absolutely gone goofy. Small wonder so many American men are marrying Russian women: At least a Russian woman will play chess and discuss Pushkin with the best of them. American women, on the other hand, increasingly appear bent on reserving a seat in elementary school, intellectually.

Sorry, American ladies--but someone finally needs tell you these truths.

Hi Ellen,

Spring is nice because it’s a sign of better things to come, a sign of hope, maybe a new or a renewal of love and it’s also time for “Dancing in the Streets!”

Spring is great because it’s time to limber up and stretch for maximum enjoyment of the summer fun and more dancing.

Block parties, barbeques, picnics, and every other form of out door parties are excellent forms of entertainment, every night of the week, if you look for them.

I just love spring. I love you Ellen and I love Portia and I love your show!

Party On!

I love Spring! I must say that this year we did not get a spring...here in the Northwest!

Spring makes you feel alive and hopeful!

It also makes you look back- refelct on how life does go by in heartbeat!
A must read for spring is the book called the "Last Lecture" it will make you think.
When Randy talks about "Brick walls"...it made me think that I will never give up my dream of running the Amazing Race!

Ellen, Thank you for making me laugh out loud!

do u read all these?

Lower my standards? Only if I can get the same result as you did with your "low" standards!

..Ellen..

It's fun reading comments from other fans.. Makes me want to start up conversations. humm.. like, looks like pleading for a job is already taken, but I wanted that position.

Actually um' feeling worthly of employment. If ya need an Xtra, I'm 4-hire. Did notice your B-Party looked a little thin through the crowd. You need some parttime fillins that will standin the background of every picture taken... Or maybe when your feeling down, need a fillin host.. again... I'm available.. but will need an Ellen mask so nobody will know the difference. Just think your boss won't figure out either. hee hee.

And talkin Springtime - here's some more tips and comments-
- keep on dancing.
- keep your windows shut, don't let the bugs fly in!
- dont run after the icecream man and catch him for a cone... you might catch something else.
- ya know it's Spring in Texas cuz Summer's already here.
- It's hotter than 'highschool love' driving my car without airconditioning
- I look sweaty and hotter than 'girls gone wild' driving with no airconditioning.
- let's have a nickname contest to see who has the most nicknames giving a brief description of origin.
- let's have wheelbarrel races, my dog likes to ride.
- Fall in Love? Do I have to look? Falling in love dropped off the "to do list" a few years ago.. But if it falls in my lap, then yeah!



Dearest Ellen
No.5 of "Top Springiest Things You Can Do" is my favorite suggestion.
You should fall in love and stay in love forever.
Love is the reason of life.

PLEASE OH PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! I beg of you or of anyone who sees this. Help me get a job. I've been writing into you for the past year. My fiancee (who bythe way just had my daughter) doesnt have a job & she is a Philippino in Toledo, Cebu Philippines Islands. I paid off her medical bills & have no more money I need to work in order to send her money. I live here in Plano, Illinois USA. I must stay here inside of the USA because of my medications would be too much. I've applied at vertually every where under the sun. None of the fast food restraunts want me. I've applied at every where. Please I plead with you Ellen give me a job. I want to work. Please I plead with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


well have a super summer we all miss ya ....

have a great weddingg and a great day.


we will see you in september 8th..


thank u to your staff for all that they do.thank u ellen you are the best.

You know that You’re encouraging people, kids to drink Pop Rocks and Red Bull for breakfast. Although I don’t know what Pop Rocks is so I’m hoping it’s a health drink. I just got “your winter coat is shedding”. I’m slow. It took me about 10 mins to realize you’re pretending to be a cat for a split second. It’s true. I watch my 4 cats adjust to the warmer weather by shedding lots and lots of fur everywhere. Being in heat means you want to reproduce so you are very horny and rub against everything in sight and howl like a howling insane hyena.

I watch my 4 cats adjust to the warmer weather by shedding lots and lots of fur everywhere. Being in heat means you want to reproduce so you are very horny and rub against everything in sight and howl like a howling insane hyena. You use words sometimes that I am not familiar with. I do not know what espadrilles are. I do know what tube tops are. I don’t think you wear tube tops, do you? You’re just being funny. Running through a field naked would be springy too. Lying down naked in a field and falling to sleep would be really springy. Will you be reading your emails during the summer. I want to write you now during the summer when you are off work. I couldn’t have picked a worse time to start writing you but I have more time too at that time. You have been fantastic this year. You’re show has taken a different direction. You are becoming a game host if your are not one already. I wish you would do more acting. You know also where I live people use umbrellas like parasols. I don’t think they sell parasols anymore. Please check your emails or have someone check them so you can get continuous feedback. Congratulations one your getting married legally. I am really happy about that Supreme Court decision and happy that you announced your wedding to the world. You’ re still rocking this world by being the first big star to bring this being gay thing out in the open. It does a world of good. You are such a genius in this area. You put John McCain on the hot seat. He was literally squirming I thought. Congratulations again. It’s marvelous how things are working out. Can I send you voice mail. Do you have a way to send voice recordings? I like to talk into a recorder and sometimes it’s pretty funny. I can sing too.

I got both spring allergy and fever..
I hate first days of spring..

Luckily I'm already in love.. Now I just have to find the flower fields to run with her..
And some nice stereo to play 70's music in the background..
