Down with Winter

I am officially done.
I don't want any more cold and grey.
I have completely steeped myself in hot tea (and drowned my sorrows in almond cookies) and I don't want any more.
Bring on the sunshine and warmth - and yes, even the sloggy wetness that is spring.

SOMEONE - threaten me with the promise of bathing suit season to awaken my urgency in this pursuit of the ever-elusive "healthy lifestyle."

I want to walk on a beach,
I want to CHOOSE not to wear shorts.
I want bare feet and the chore of mowing the lawn.
I want lemonade and grilled meat-stuffs.

ah.
sigh.

as an aside

just looked back at my sweeney todd post
and it occurred to me
that johnny depp has a very beautiful skull.

lost a friend over the weekend
a precious light, too soon snuffed

my heart is heavy
and i'm screaming-at-the-soul angry with him
and i'm tired of knowing too many dead

still too sad for many words.
