Spring into Summer?

Summer is finally here! Or at least I would like to think so. Today I went out and drove with my mom to Fon du Lac to do some shopping and it was so nice to have the windows open to let the wind make my hair all whippy. I love the spring air that is for sure, but this sudden change from snow on the ground to having the temperature being in the eighties I have to wonder why this is happening. I do not want to question why this lovely weather is here, but I just can not help but think why.

I remember how only a couple of weeks ago I was sledding with Tyler and now this weekend all I wanted to do was go biking and take a long walk on a trail. I am pretty sure that last year in March we did not have a weekend in the seventies and eighties. This is crazy to me, it really is. I wonder what summer has in store for us. I am betting that the temperatures will be hitting the hundreds, but I hope that does not happen. I am just going to enjoy the weather and not question why.

I think that the reason that I do question things such as the weather in this case is because I like to analyze and figure out why things happen. I am not sure this is exactly the best thing to do because then I tend to over think and dwell on them. Most people would call me a “worry- wart” and I have to agree with them. In some instances worrying is something that helps me and in a way calms me, but in the other situations it just makes me more stressed and then I dwell more.

Commercial Mania

You know what really bothers me? Commercials! I mean come on? I understand that big companies want to get their products out in the open, but sometimes the way they go about it makes me hate being part of society. You have the funny Dairy Queen commercials then you have the ridiculous ones like president campaign advertisements. So sad to say, but advertisements are going to be the death of me I think!

            I suppose that not all commercials are bad and make me want to rip out my hair. The SuperBowl ones are super funny as we all know. We wait all year to see what new products are coming out and how the companies are finding new ways to broadcast it. At this year’s SuperBowl, a great commercial was for Budweiser where a dog names WeeGo fetches a beer for anyone who calls for a beer. I think that it was clever and very well crafted. It has to be if Budweiser is paying millions of dollars to just have a spot to air their commercial. The funny commercials are much more entertaining than say the ridiculous local ones such as the Ernie Von Schladorn commercials. They just bore us!

            Then you have the meaningful and cute commercials that send a message or just make you say “AWE!”. My favorite meaningful one would have to be the above the influence ones because they relate to my generation and kind of what I see some of my friends heading down a bad path. The commercials that make you think might be the ones you remember the most and stick with you forever. The cute on that I like are the Oreos commercials with the little girl talking to her dad in a different time zone. I just think that it is so adorable; I have no clue why though.

Winter Date

I was with Tyler, my boyfriend, yesterday hanging out like we usual do on the weekday when I do not have to work. We decided that we were going to go sledding in Kohler at the “bowl” because the snow had just fallen and we thought that it would be perfect since we both have not gone sledding in years. So we arrived at the “bowl” and we got on the very old and out-dated blue sled for two people. We go down the huge hill and then we slammed into these kids names Gabe and Arian who were ten and eleven years old. Usually I would never hangout with kids this little, but Tyler and I were having a ball with them. I think that it truly let the inner kinds in both of us run around for a bit. It was so sweet seeing Tyler interact with them because it reminded me of how my brother and I were when we were younger and got along. I sort of miss how we do not talk or even acknowledge each other’s existence at times. Anyways, the boys were really hitting it off with Tyler because they had a common interest: video games. Oh how I love boys and their gaming. HA!

Later that day Tyler had to go to work and I kind of just hung around waiting for him. When he came back we were watching some TV. and we went to get some ice cream and hung out some more. I got this sudden rush of energy and I said we should go take a walk, even though it was snowing. He did not mind because he wanted to get out and do something too. We walked around where he lives nad it felt like we were the only two people alive. Yeah it was 11 pm, but still it was so nice to feel like we were sharing this special moment together. We watched the snowfall and I grabbed onto his arm because I was freezing in my sweatshirt and jeans. Somehow I am sure that I will never forget that feeling that came with that winter walk.
