I Love Walking!

Do you?  Yesterday, over my lunch break, I took a walk. Albeit a brief walk, because all I had on were flip-flops and heaven knows they are not exactly heavy-duty walking footwear! LOL Comfy, but NOT sneakers.

Anyhow, on a tangent there. The weather was GORGEOUS yesterday, not too hot and definitely not too cold. And in the shade, JUST RIGHT. Sounding like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, huh?  Couldn't resist!

So, I took a nice stroll about 2 blocks from work and paused under the beautiful, tall, stately oak trees that are just starting to leaf out. And I stared up at those trees and wondered how in the WORLD they were capable of dropping such an outrageous TON of pollen "bundles" . . . . . . and I mean a TON. So much, the entire ground beneath these trees was literally carpeted in little pollen bundles. But, I have to give the trees some credit here. . .  they truly are lovely and so tall and give such wonderful shade once they are leafed out. And though the leaves are the size of squirrel ears (who really can determine that, by the way?) -- which is a sure sign spring has officially begun! -- they are still brilliant green leaves. :-)  And I was still one happy, temperate chick.  And if I had lived abou 50 years go, I would have been a bonified tree-hugging flowerchild.  hahaha  Well, maybe not THAT much of a hippie!

What do you like about spring?  And do you love trees? Or taking walks, leisurely or brisk?  I'd love to hear!

Okay, so time flies . . .

And thus, as I think I mentioned only yesterday, I don't get everything done on my "to-do" lists all the time.  More often than not, I get about half or 2/3 completed. But, I keep working on it! Only got ONE bill paid and mailed out yesterday . . . .  and the others I MUST look over tonight! It's so easy to forget bills, out of sight and out of mind.  But I always remember and pay, somehow. LOL

So, I've been attempting to add some interest to my spring wardrobe. I didn't have much of a wardrobe to begin with, but I've hit up several sales in the last couple of months as my income allowed, and now have several cute tops, and adorable skirt or two and two sweet dresses. Can you tell I'm pleased?!?  heehee  At any rate, what I would TRULY like would be to lose some weight so I can feel more confident in my new clothes and better yet . . . have a viable excuse to buy a few more that are smaller!!! :)  Specifically, dresses and skirts. And maybe one cute pair of nice slacks.

Dreaming . . . . . and slowly working back into taking a walk everyday if possible, even if it's a shorter one while my foot recovers from whatever I did to hurt it so badly! :-T

Spring . . . . . . . is . . . here . . . . but it's almost like summer!

I have such a long to-do list. Anyone else feel my pain? Wow. I try to stay consistent on working away at it, and yet, somehow, it never seems to truly shrink. What's up with that? So, on my list of to-dos tonight are basic things, including paying bills and a credit card balance and taking a much-needed and greatly desired walk with Joe, and also eating supper (my favorite part beside the walk, I believe!).  And the beat goes on . . .
