The sun will come out on Day 274

It's been a rainy, Seattle-esque mess in Chicago for the past week. It actually wasn't terrible since it gave me the chance to wear in my new Fall/Winter boots, but I was pretty excited to see the sunshine return this weekend. This upcoming week will be warmer in Chicago. But you know where it's much warmer? Georgia. Where I'll be next weekend to see one of my dearest friends say "I do". A week away, but I'm already SO FREAKING EXCITED!!

Day 234 goes out to lunch

My mom met me on my lunch break today and we ate outside at Shady Brook Farm. It was a little windy, but so sunny and a perfect temperature. And look at those clouds! Shady Brook is about a two minute drive from my office and offers a nice break from being indoors. More days like today, please.

Also, TODAY FELT LIKE AUTUMN!

Day 139 found the sun!

Eeeeek! It was sun, sun, sunny today! And tomorrow there is not only more sun but it's gonna be warm. WARM! It hasn't been over 65º here since October. We're so due for a 70º day and I can't wait. I'm waiting until tomorrow to debut my skirt. Woohoo!! (ps. yes I'm totally drunk on Vitamin D. Feels awesome!)

Day 132 is back!

This is what I was seeing over and over (and over) again yesterday whenever I tried to post. Fail! Sorry for the late post, reader friends!

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming. :)

This was Seattle.... yesterday? This late post is brought to you courtesy of Blogger.com being down for just about 24 hours yesterday. How fun! It was sunny skies and fun little fluffy clouds. Still climbing out of the mid 50ºs here, but hey! At least there was sunshine. I'll take it!

Day 111, get out the Claritin

The sunny and warm weather today meant lots of yard work for my dad and other people in the neighborhood. That only means one thing- I'm due for an allergy attack. Every Spring I have at least one day where I am totally incapacitated from allergies. And I haven't had that day yet. Now that my dad mowed the front lawn I see Claritin, teary eyes and lots of tissues in my future...

Day 82 is old school cool

I spotted this car on the corner of the building where I work as I was running into the office this morning (late. per usual.) But not late enough to not stop and take this picture. Hehe. I like this car. I like it a lot. Unpretentious and all around awesome. It looks like it's seen some great days and it just kinda oozes coolness to me. Oh an look - it was a bright and sunny day in Seattle today. Hell to the yeah! At one point it definitely hit about 68º here today. Oh hello Spring, welcome to the party.

day 17 is rested

I woke up extra early this morning so I could sneak in some early morning sun. Everyone else was still sleeping and the world was quiet. Just me and the bugs and the trees and the sun. It was perfect and there was the added bonus of finally getting some sun after 4 months without it. I'm sad to be going back to seattle tomorrow and leaving my perfect little slice of happiness here at home.... but at least i'll have a tan when I'm back!
