Spring

It's spring. Officially. And you know what that means: flip-flop season is right around the corner! In fact, it was so warm last week, I wore flip-flops four days in a row. I also wore jeans and a fleece instead of a skirt and tank top, and temperatures have since plummeted back into the thirties...but we're getting there!

Spring's all about transition, and I feel particularly in sync with Mother Nature at the moment as we've been transitioning for weeks in preparation for a big move. Well, it wasn't really a big move, geographically speaking—our new house is a 45-minute drive from our old one—but moving's such a chore, I don't think it matters how far you go. You still have to pack. And confront the stuff you stuck in the dark recesses of the basement five years ago because you didn't want to throw it away, but you didn't know what else to do with it. And decide what you absolutely need and what you can probably live without—and then toss the latter in hopes of starting over with as clean a slate as possible.

But once the hard part's done, which it now is for us, you get to arrange the furniture. And find the perfect spot for your coffee cups. And write the first of many blog entries on your old couch in your new living room. As hard as it can to be to get to this point, settling is definitely worth transitioning. Which makes me excited for summer.

Speaking of, have you seen (500) Days of Summer? With Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel? If not, please do. And then get the soundtrack. Both are amazing!
