You Know It’s Spring When…

You suddenly notice these are everywhere.

I think “these” go by the name of flowers.

Your boyfriend’s allergies are making his throat have “that tickle.”  And “that tickle” is causing him make super annoying noises that keep you awake till all hours of the night.

For the record, no, I don’t know what “that tickle” is.  So I don’t’ sympathize.

Also for the record, “all hours of the night” probably means 10:45.  I’m a real night owl.

You’re looking forward to things like the Bolder Boulder.

Or, more accurately, you’re looking forward to the silly costumes, slip and slides and marshmallows that accompany the Bolder Boulder.  You’re not so much looking forward to the 6.2 miles that constitute the Bolder Boulder.

You feel compelled to eat “bright fresh Spring things.”

Like fish, fresh herbs and anything lemony.

You know, because I totally wasn’t eating those things during winter too…

For the first time in what feels like years, it’s light outside long enough to go for a post-work run.

You have to check the forecast right before getting dressed in the morning because even though it was 70 degrees yesterday, it could be snowing today.

Or is that just a Colorado thing?

You wake up wanting a hot cup of tea and drive home from work craving iced coffee.

You crave froyo even more than you did in winter.

I didn’t even know that was possible.

P.S. What kind of psycho craves cold things in winter??  This kind.

You just want to wear skirts.

Unless you’re me and you never say hello to skiing season.

Baseball season is finally here!

In short, the world just seems a little warmer, brighter and happier.
