Exercised Today

Today was a nice day to go outside, so I took about a 40 minute walk to the park. I stayed there for a while, and then came back home. It started to rain a little, but that's fine with me. It was still a nice day. I am so glad it is spring now.

Today's News

Today it cooled down into the 40's, but it's still a nice day. I might go out a little later. Last night I wasn't feeling too good. I had a headache, an upset stomach, and felt a bit lightheaded. I didn't take anything, because I wanted to see if I could wait it out. I did wait it out. Today, I am feeling much better. I am hoping that doesn't happen again. Tomorrow is the first day of spring. I am SOOOOOO happy about that. I am so tired of winter.

5 Things to Be Happy About Right Now…

Don’t let the last lingering days of winter get ya down. Spring’s right around the corner and we have five things that’ll make you smile right this second. Print out our list and post it in your locker—or take a few minutes to write down your faves.

1. Flowers are starting to bloom
What’s better than catching a glimpse of the first petals of the season? Even if the buds are still chillin’ underground in your area, go to your local flower shop or grocery store and pick up some cheap seeds to plant with your fam. Then, ya can watch ’em grow each day together. Or, cheat and just buy a bitty bouquet.

2. The temps are on the rise
Take advantage of the warmer weather and go for a walk or run around the neighborhood. Or, grab a bunch of friends together and play some touch football or capture the flag in your backyard. Let’s hear it for longer days, too.

3. Cute clothes are back in style
Now that the sun’s coming out, ya can finally take those cute, springy clothes outta the closet. Even if it’s too cold to wear your fave yellow tank, start adding bright accessories to make your outfits extra cheery (and boost your mood instantly!).

4. Fruits are in season
Ya might not be getting away for spring break, but lotsa tropical fruits are back in season. Get a healthy sugar rush by noshing on kiwis, oranges and pineapples.

5. Birds are chirpin’
The birds are flyin’ home and ya gotta admit, while they may wake ya up early in the mornin’, they are fun to listen to. Set up a bird feeder outside to make a springtime friend.

Come On Spring, Get Here Already!!!

I wish it was spring already. I hate winter. I hate the snow, the cold temperatures, the wind. I am really looking forward to the warmer weather. I wish I was in Hawaii right now. It's always warm there. I guess this is what I get when I live in Chicago.
