Spring Fever anyone?
I have Spring Fever and I have it bad. All I do is stare out my window at the desert and wish I was somewhere else. I have these hippie-like fantasies of hanging out in Golden Gate Park and making flower wreaths for my hair. I’d bring my boombox (ipod) and play Led Zeppelin and smell all the pot being smoked. I’d stare at the sky and watch the clouds…
Or!
I’d get out my backpack and pack it up and go to Europe. Ride the train around and talk about Neoclassical art while listening to harpsichord music. That would be nice.
Or!
Maybe my fantasy should involve a sun-dress, a margarita and a beach in some remote town in Mexico. I could wash fishermen all day long.
Sigh. Yeah, I have Spring Fever and I have it bad. Sadly, my only option is chaining myself to this computer and working on a book that’s due June first. But a girl can dream, right?
Am I the only one suffering from this condition?

I used to go to this park on Queen Anne hill in Seattle, no one went there, but it looked out over the water. We’d get this cheap hole in the wall Mexican food that was so good, and sit there for a couple of hours and just relax and talk. Hippie out as you say. Enjoy being outside.
I always wanted to do the backpacking thing. Big time. But I don’t really get spring fever anymore… because I know I can’t really go anywhere. Not with the kid! LOL.
I didn’t like Mexico. Too hot. I’m not a hot weather person by any means. I sat in my hotel room most of the time. Yes. I’m lame.

Not really spring fever, as in run off to San
Francisco to “hippie out.” Just as in looking forward to the new leaves on the trees and the
flowers in the gardens. As in looking forward
to the birth of our new grandson, Jude! As in
looking forward to the springtime birthday and
anniversary celebrations!
P.S. Did you really mean to “wash” fishermen all
day long in Mexico? Hey, I may be up for that?

OOPS! I meant to have an exclamation point at
the end of my last sentence! It’s probably
my Honey who would question my last comment!!!

Yeah I get Spring fever. Right now I think I have allergies so my head is a little loopy. One of the yuck parts of spring.
Spring is the only time of year around my house that it looks good. The grass/fields are green and wildflowers are blooming. Then the dead heat of summer comes and turns everything yellow. Blech.

We’ve had snow showers all day. Does that answer your question? After 100+ inches of snow this year, margaritas on the beach are sounding mighty good!

OMG it’s supposed to snow again here tonight. This is re-dick-you-lust.

You and every high school senior!

Oh, I have it bad. The weather here sucks (wind is blowing about 30 mph) and it’s 60 degrees…which means I cannot entice the kids to go out and play.
What’s worse, is they are home for Spring Break, bored, and the youngest (and whiniest) is sick.
I cannot wait for RWA nat’l in San Fran this year!

I am so with you, Feisty!
I napped in the grass all afternoon! Love, love, love this time of year.

60 degrees?! I WISH it was that hot!

I have spring fever. I guess you can call it that. Sometimes I get itchy where I just wanna go go go. Just get out and travel until I can’t travel anymore. Thank God for laptops.
