Spring Fever?

It's been a very cold winter this year, and I hear people saying they are ready for spring all over the place. Me, I'm tired of people predicting how each storm is going to take turn this season, and I am very tired of the plow company at work. So yes, I like every one else and VERY ready for Spring.

Warm weather? Rain instead of snow? Excellent!

Spring fever is approaching, Easter candy is on the shelves and open toed shoes and short sleeves can be worn without turning a questioning and dishonorable head. I for one am looking for an appropriate closed toe shoe for work - safety hazard otherwise. Spring however isn't always about fashion and warm weather - or even better the rain!; it's about falling in love perhaps and vitamin D (time in the sun, yes). So is spring fever really the hope to get outside and fly a kite or hike (which are wonderful qualities of spring I agree). Or, is it that post "valentines" feeling where single people are ready to fall in love or settle down once again?

Perhaps it's everything we want it to be.


In some cases it's the preparation of summer. For me it also adds as a preparation for my birthday.

Most importantly, I get to hear the rain fall on my roof, and when I walk out and it ruins my hair for the entire day it also refreshes my burning skin or possibly sweat.

One day I hope to enjoy the sound of rain fall while cuddled next to someone on the couch. I would like to pop popcorn and watch a movie at the end of the day after a hike or bike ride in the park. I don't know the itty bitty details - just the general ideas.

Perhaps I've been watching too many cheesy love movies lately and haven't blogged enough. Perhaps I've been writing longhand enough where my thoughts haven't hit the internet.

Perhaps there is nothing yet to follow - or I don't know how to follow it quite yet.

I saw the link to my blog under my sisters favorites and realized I missed it.

I can't promise I'm back to the blogging world quite yet. We'll see ;)

Catching my second wind again!

My favorite day of the week at work is truck day, which most people find funny because NOW we have to be at the store by about 2am to unload the truck. Today was a bit later so for those of us unloading it was there by 4:45...and it was a HUGE truck! I was quite tired, but now that whole second wind thing is coming back again. Time to write in my novel!

Which do you like better? A guy who leaves random notes, or a guy who buys flowers? Ask around, tell your friends to come answer the question. I am looking for other things people like as well...it helps with the whole novel process!

After Work

Sometimes I wish that gas was not so expensive so I could drive all the time. I love to think about the songs I am listening to, the air passing my window (when there is no rain or cold!) and the silence that can be so haunting.

My novel actually will have a large focus on driving. I have done a lot of driving in my life, especially over the past two years for the simple purpose of work. However, that is one of the only hints you will have towards my novel. The rest is a secret. I find some comfort in having that secret available to me.

Today is the same as every other day for me. I am fine with that as well. I worked and I thought about my life, trying to think poetic at times as well as thinking in narrative form (it helps my writing process).

I hope someday to touch people with my writing style. I also hope to find inspiration to write poetry on my blog. It has been a while. Sometimes I worry I will never write it again! However, I know that's pretty silly...it always comes back!

I'm new to this...

I guess people have found it a little odd that I have been writing for years but never had a blog. I got bored today in the midst of writing in my moleskine as well as playing around on my computer, so I guess I thought a blog was something I should finally do! I adore writing, have a degree in Creative Writing and work at Rite Aid (find a job in creative writing NOW ha) but I love my job and think about writing all the time, so I am not going wrong really! Like everyone else I don't have a lot of money to go around, but I am paying the bills, so that's all that matters. Anyway, I figured this could be like my virtual Moleskine to use instead of writing (when my hands are cramps haha). I plan to use it for personal thoughts and ideas, possibly some poetry. I have always loved to write any kind of thing that comes to mind. Where better than a blog? Well, I guess my Moelskine, but I'll do both in all places!
