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.

Ellen,
Spring is it here yet? I don't know about California, but the temp here in chicago has been in the 40's. Cold and damp. So looks like my list for the Memorial day weekend will be:
1)Pull out the summer wear and remember when it fit.
2) Look at that can of paint I bought 2 years ago for the front room and wonder if it is still good.
3) Stick some fake flowers in the planter outside and don't forget the flag!
5)Remember all the family who is no longer with us and how we used to go to the cemetary for picnics on this weekend!
Have a safe and happy weekend all!

When are you going to have the American Idol winner David Cook on? He was great! Although I'm a
little prejudice since I live in Kansas City, loved the outcome.
