february frustration

Do not let the bright 'n sunny days fool you- "baby it's cold outsiiiide"-lalala. I have been itching to go outside and run around. My body is screaming for exercise of the fun variety. Well, any exercise at all, for that matter. It's that time of year. When winter has become an annoyance and everyone in the Midwest is getting rather stir crazy. Let us out! Let us out! Let us out! I shouldn't say everyone. I do recall seeing the U of I track team out for a run this afternoon. And there were plenty of frat boys walking around in t-shirts. Because, come on, it's sunny! Oh and that glorious sunshine -it's making a noble attempt to transform leaveless trees and dirt-brown grass into a sparkling landscape of .......well, anyway, it's trying. But don't get me wrong- I am grateful for the sunshine, despite my February antsy-ness. I just can't wait for slightly warmer weather. Until then, get used to the same recycled photographs of summer '04's plants and flowers.
