Coming out of Hibernation...

So today is the start of Spring or so we can hope. The temp reached 59 degrees and I think all the Wisconsinites came out of hibernation. It was like everyone who has sat on a couch and ate junk food all winter, thought it was a great day to go for a walk. People were everywhere around our neighborhood.....walking, biking, rollerblading and even skateboarding.. thinking of skateboarding, did I not get the memo? I saw 6 adults skateboarding, not like teens or young 20's skater punks but normal midage adults.. strange.

I went on a long walk over 4 miles i figured and it was so nice. No better natural high than a long walk on Spring day, feels great. Spring is my favorite season, mild/warm weather and the bees aren't out yet (i am allergic). I have to admit that my motivation for my walk started with the idea that I could use my new birthday present. I GOT AN IPOD TOUCH as an early birthday present from my husband!! I love it! I realized how I like a little bit of everything for music. On my playlist today, artists ranging including Taylor Swift, Tom Petty, Kanye West, Pink, Sugarland, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jason Mraz and Natalie grant.. a little of everything all songs with a good beat. So I almost started dancing while I was walking and looked stupid.

The funniest sight of my walk was on my final block home. I saw a young teen boy, short, a little chubby with spikey hair with a t-shirt that says the following: Schedule of Day, Eat breakfast, play video games, eat lunch, play video games ect. To add to this visual, he was walking slow listening to his ipod while holding a 1/2 gallon super sipper to-go cup with a big straw like its from a gas station probably full of Mountain Dew. He was definetely going on walk to try and look cool rather than for exercise. It was just a funny sight.

So hopefully Spring will stick around. This winter has been the longest winter ever and I am ready for the Seasonal Affective Disorder (aka lack of sunlight and energy) to go away. I love the energy and newness of Spring, let the flowers bloom.
