Winter blahs/cabin fever

I have definately had enough of this winter. I can't deal with the snow and the cold any longer. Every day I still see snow is another day I think about packing up and moving somewhere it doesn't snow.

I'm finding myself daydreaming more and more about spring and summer, when I can ditch the 10,000 layers of clothing. When I get bored during the times Andrew is at work I can hop on my bike and wander wherever the bike goes. When I can play tennis with my youngest sis, and we spend more time laughing than playing because we're both terrible. When I can go camping with the family and swim during the day and drink beer with my dad in front of a large fire at night. When I can drive around with the windows down and my music loud. When I can visit my friend in Milwaukee and walk around town all day. When I can walk around all day with a camera in my hand and see everything I look at every day in a new way. When I can have my own picnics in a park with nothing but good food and a good book. When my friends can come over and have parties in my garage and play pool and darts until the sun comes up in the morning. When I can swing on swings and jump on trampolines. When the trees have leaves, the grass is green and the flowers are in bloom. When the earth doesn't look so...dead.

Most of all I miss being able to leave my house without using my car to get from one indoor place to another. Only three more months...
