dear mama nature,

wtf?! 

i realize that my intro may be a little harsh but i feel that all i can offer at this point is tough love.  i know that mother’s day is around the corner and therefore you believe that you’ll just kick back and do whatever you please but if you expect to be honored as a mother you can’t quit being one, even for one day. 

i know that i’m one of your favorites, as i’m one of the few that praise you for a cold brisk day in the winter.  there’s nothing i like better than being smacked in the face with cold air.  there’s something so refreshing and calming about it.  and the snow?  don’t even get me going on the snow, i love it so much!  and as we approach spring i’m often happy that we have months of 60 degree days.  if i can wear a light shirt but also need a cardigan i’m perfectly content.  i am one of the last people to ever curse you for not bringing ’round the heat already.  in fact, i’m not even that big a fan of the heat.

but with all of that being said, what do you think you’re doing?  for the last 2 weekends i’ve worn tank tops and flip flops.  i’m even nursing a bad sunburn on my back from a day at the beach last saturday.  and yet yesterday and today i’ve had to wear sweaters to keep warm.  you keep following these gorgeous days up with rain.  days and days of rain.  and while i’m not typically opposed to spring rain, and i would rather it than a drought, these rains have brought unseasonably cool air with them. 

i simply ask that you not tease.  i’m at a point where i have 2 seasons of clothes out that i can’t put away because you keep changing things up from day to day.

please restore some sort of climate control.  and of course, enjoy your mother’s day!

love,
notsojenny

p.s. a little bit of drizzle would really help filter out the rest of the shoppers for me at the outdoor mall on saturday… thanks! 

 

 

~ today i learned… that in Spain a woman often buys an engagement wristwatch for her man after she accepts his marriage proposal (i’m thinking of adopting this since M has had his eye on a very $$$ watch for a while, i mean why should he be the only one going broke on this stuff?) ~
