I am not going to bitch about the weather. But I am going to say we’ve all earned the right to get outside, strip off a few layers, kick up our heels and have a great time!
I am not going to bitch about the weather. Instead, I’ll point out that there are so many great things to do this weekend and so many amazing special guests coming to town that you’d have to be nuts to want to stay inside!
I am not going to bitch about the weather. Nope. I’m just going to enjoy the temperatures as they slowly creep back up to normal, and enjoy the days as they slowly get longer and longer. That means spring is almost here!
