No More Miss Crankypants. Well, Less of Her, Anyway.

My goodness, it has been a real vent-o-rama around here lately. I'd like to apologize for that. I made a secret, somewhat conceited vow when I started this that I would not have one of those blogs, the kind where you are all "today work sucked and i can't believe beth said that to me and i am so tired," etc. Clearly, I have not been living up to that goal, and I'm afraid that I am not one of those people who can make high art out of life's little foibles. No. I fear instead that I am just a whiner.

In the future, I will try to do better. Some things that will make this easier: I have today off. I am going to a fair on Sunday (keeping fingers crossed for good weather). It's fall! There have been a few chilly nights, but last night, boom, no more messing around, time to shake out your fuzzy sweaters, woodsmoke in the air, crunchy leaves underfoot. This morning is the same temperature as yesterday morning, but this morning was clearly the morning to start drinking tea hot instead of iced. Who could be grumpy about that?

I could be cranky about that. It's kind of neat, for about 5 minutes, until I remember that I am totally uncomfortable outside of the 69-74 degree range.

Oh, that's too bad. I am a cool-weather girl all the way; fall and spring are my favorite. Plus I really, really like fuzzy sweaters. If I could spend my life encased in bulky knits, I'd be a happy woman.

Oh, spring is just dandy, my favorite in fact. But it's slightly warmer, and not hot like summer, so there you go.

i'm with you, EV. fall used to excite me as a young student because it meant new clothes, new classes, and more chances to raise my GPA and recover from all the slacking off i did the previous semester. now that i've earned all those C's and finished school, fall only reminds me that winter is coming, long, dreary, grey and cold Chicago winter. the leaves changing colors is neat, but then they drop off the trees. keep me between 55 and 85 year round and i'm ok.

Hey, be kind to yourself. We all go through the blog blahs. ;)
