Glorious, Gloomy days

There's something about a gloomy day that makes me want to snuggle up in a warm, cozy blanket with my hot, steamy cup O' Joe, and watch a good movie. It has been such a gloomy few days. You would think that since I can't go outside that I would have the shiniest, cleanest, best smelling house on the block, right? I mean, there's nothing else to do than clean. Hahaha. Riiiiight. I'm not that kind of housewife. There is a good side to all this rainy weather though. My tulips are coming up in the front yard, and the grass is already green!! Spring IS coming! That in itself is enough to make me smile. I'm sure in a couple of months when I'm all hot and sweaty, and my stupid swamp cooler (NOT like an air conditioner no matter what anyone tries to tell you) is still broken, I will be wishing for these cool, gloomy days to come back. Guess I better enjoy them while I still can. It's a good thing I have good friends who turn on their air conditioners full blast so you either have to break out the winter sweaters in the middle of july, or go stand outside for a minute just to keep warm. Ahhh. Summer. Warmth. Ice Tea. Sun Tans. Shorts. Tank Tops. Flip Flops. BBQ's. Need I say more????
