Springtime!

I love springtime in the city. I take that back, I love springtime anywhere. At least the feeling of spring, because being in the Midwest, you can never quite tell what the weather is going to be like for longer than a few days.

We haven't really had a bad winter at all though, only a few snowstorms and very few colder than 15 degrees. I call that a success in my book.

Anyway, beside the 9 hours of work yesterday, I've spent the majority of my weekend enjoying Chicago while my parents are out of town. I was asked to water plants while they were gone, so I decided to make the most of it. Yesterday evening I took the El and walked to Noodles & Company, today I walked to Panera then took the red line and then walked to Sprinkles cupcakes. I decided to walk part of the way back before getting back on the El to go the rest of the way. My legs are feeling the burn already, so I'm not looking forward to how they'll feel tomorrow!

I've also decided to give up drinking pop. Not entirely as I decided I'll drink some if the craving arises because I know that the more I resist the more I'll end up drinking in the long run. But regardless, I'm up to a week and a half without. Pretty impressive since I used to drink a 20 oz if not more every day! So there's that.

And as far as being back in the blogging with regular updates? We'll see. Right now I'm just writing when the mood arises.
