Fever.

For those of you who don't know, I've started what I'm calling a "for-real-this-time" diet. I've already lost 7.2 lbs, but I'm far from my goal weight. I know I can do this, and I've started to really see it as a challenge or a competition between the two aspects of my personality. The healthy one will win this time. My only issue now that I'm back from spring break is figuring out what my eating schedule will be. My classes and gallery shifts are at such off the wall times I don't know where to squeeze in the extra time for healthy meals and workouts. I SHOULD wake up early and eat a good breakfast, pack a lunch, and go to the gym, but I am not a morning person. At all.

Also, today when I left my house there was a light dusting of POLLEN on everyone's car!! Even though I hate the allergy issues that come with pollen, I was just excited to see a truly tangible sign of spring! I'm ready for warm weather and camping and the lake and slightly more stress-free summer classes. Hell, I'm just excited to feel the sun on my face!

So in honor of spring's coming, I'll tell you my favorite things about spring...


Dogwoods are in bloom.


Lake Tuscaloosa.


Summer Snow. Tiger Blood all the way.


Camping. Though since I'm going with an eagle scout, it probably won't look this. Bear Grills would not approve.


Gorgeous dresses like this one found here.


Sandals like these. I love gladiators!

And finally...


Being a few months closer to getting one of these babies!
