it's an odd feeling to hear the birds chirping outside my window like it's the first day of summer, and to be stuck inside the house, sick and in bed. you know when i'm sick cause i haven't had a square meal since lunch on sunday, and let's face it, boys and girls, i love to eat. but i'm crossing my fingers that i'll be well enough to celebrate accordingly this weekend.

in regards to this beautiful weather we're having, i absolutely love it. aside from the winter sports i thoroughly enjoy (and am sadly missing out on this season) i'm all for summer and the spring leading into it. just the other day as i was driving down pine, the sight of lavender bushes, cherry blossoms, cotton candy clouds and our beautiful hills put me in a wonderful mood and made me feel very thankful that i could really appreciate the simple pleasures in life.

now if only my back would stop aching and let me sleep comfortably...
