...dislike...

I hate drinking out of glass. Ughhh..it makes me cringe just thinking about it! After it's been in the dishwasher a BAJILLION times it gets GROSS. Do you know what I'm talking about? It's a little like rubbing a cotton ball together. Yucko!! Also hate when you can see the white dishwasher film in glass. Give me plastic cups like I had as a child :)

...spring has sprung..i think...

It looks like Michigan has finally brought spring to us. I'm really hoping by posting this, I'm not jinxing us....I mean, we are known for our crazy weather. One day it could be 65 and sunny, the next it's 15 and snowy. Anyways, here's to hoping spring has actually sprung!

Clues that spring is here:

• Birds wake you up at 6:45 on a Saturday morning(thank you, birds).
• It's actually nice to wear flats, as your feet do not fall off from the cold(trudging through the snow in those things, is not a fun thing to do)
• No jackets, bulky coats, mittens, scarves, boots...this is a given.
• The air smells absolutely amazing. Spring air is one of the best smells out there...no idea what it is, but I could bottle it up.
• The people of MI break out their flip flops, capris, shorts, skirts, etc when it's only 55 degrees. After seeing 10 degrees for weeks at a time, 55 is balmy!!
• 55 degrees seems balmy.
• The grass is actually visible. We begin to forget what it is after 3 months of winter, but it's there....even though it's smashed to the ground and brown, it's there.
• Rainy days make you happy. I could not have been more excited to fall asleep to the sound of rain the other day.
• No scraping windshields! WOOOHOOOO!!! Getting up 45 minutes early everyday to scrape 13 layers of ice off of the car gets old after awhile(there may be a bit of exaggeration there...I only got up 40 minutes early). 

Oh mother nature, I sure hope you have actually brought spring to us. Please do not tease us like this if you're planning on more snow!!

...silence is golden...

I had been in my car for about 10 minutes on the way home tonight, when I realized I wasn't on the phone and I wasn't listening to any music. It was fantastic! Usually, the second I get in my car I call someone(usually boyfriend) or I plug in the ipod. After a day of phone calls and chatting with co-workers, the silence put me in a state of bliss. Of course, it would have been SO much better if I had a cup of hot tea and someone rubbing my feet....probably not the best idea when i'm driving though..
