Spring in January

I am more than thrilled to announce that I have felt my first 70 degree weather of the year, on today, January 7th. Seriously, getting out of the house, walking my dogs in a t-shirt, seeing people out and about, it really helped the whole winter blues thing. Winter is so long and cold and depressing to me, really. I need to be outside and to be warm and I am soooo glad for this freak warm front. 

However, let’s not be fooled: freak warm front + coming cold front + pop up thunderstorms + midwest = TORNADOES.  Tornadoes that I am terrified of because they are coming to destroy my life. And they are coming. Within a couple hours—they’re currently crossing over from Missouri to Illinois as I type.

Also, I like compiling lists and therefore am going to do so. Impromtu.

What I need in my life:

  • consistency
  • chaos 
  • pets
  • people around who: appreciate my sense of humor, have ambition, I can have legitimate conversations with
  • laughter
  • good grades
  • musics
  • dancing
  • cheap champagne
  • toaster ovens
  • my mom
  • boardgames
  • steak ‘n shake
  • hope
  • action
  • my philosophical thoughts
  • sun
  • the meeting of new and genuine people, which reinforces hope in my life
  • fun

Yep, that’s it. Okay, bye.
