My official Funk

So its happened. It happens every year. I'm not a winter guy. I'm probably the happiest when I'm on the beach, tan, with friends, and have a cocktail in my hand, listening to hmmm Lauryn Hill. Every year I get seasonal depression. I hold strong for so long, October comes and goes-fine same for Novemeber and Decemeber. Then the 23rd of Decemeber is a great day for me! (I know what you're thinking, this nit wit xmas eve isn't until 1 day later) No, this is the shortest day of the year. That means that the days begin to get longer! So this holds me off until most of January cause I can see the days getting longer. Then Feb. hits. Now (hint) I know what you're thinking, your bday is in Feb. (28th). Well you're right, you'd think that would get me through most of Feb. But it doesn't. I always get in a funk. Not really depression just annoyed. I'm over winter. I've lasted long enough and damnit I want spring! You have NO idea what a blooming flower does to me in spring. It sounds cheesy/gay/hippie like but its true. That means that MY seasons (spring and summer) are HERE! But see, its so close that I think it should be here by now-but its not. In fact its still freezing. I've dealt for so long with my face being frozen, uncomfortable freezing winds, over sized annoying coats. I want to show my skin, soak up the sun, and stop in a cafe for dinner (hello outside dining!)

So then the weather does this thing. Perhaps you've noticed it. I sure have! It will tease you. You'll think its here, time to put away the sweaters. then BOOM! Winter comes and smacks you in the face like a prostitute who you just told you can't pay. (Not that I know what that feels like.....what I was in Amsterdam?....God I hope you can read my sarcasm via text). Then I get in this funk. It's not really depression, its just I'm over it. I'm not in the mood to do several things. My normal routine changes, I become a slug. I'm not really in the mood to go out, socialize, dine, etc. These are things I LOVE! So last weekend I hardly got out of bed, this is also because I got my mattress pad which is amazing (thanks katie). But this week seems to be coming the same type of week. Sluggish. Minus the fact that I am running a lot. Ran 5 miles last night and runnign 5.5 today. I'm 'training' for the marathon so decresing my speed and trying to increase my endurance.

Anyway I just wanted to say that Jill got her taxes back and bought a blender for the apt. which made me happy! I worked at a smoothie shop for a year and I know how to make a good smoothie ;) So these are small things I'm trying to distract myself with from the realization that winter isn't over. Cause smoothies make me think of spring and so do MARGARITAS! (hello this weekend!).
