We have begun to enter THAT time of year... You know.. when one day its 45 and the next 27. When it goes from sunny and tolerable to snowy and frigid. Two months ago 27 seem just fine. But after remembering what 45 felt like.. it seems unbearable. I like to call this the Chicago Spring Tease... when I moved here last April the weather was still flirting with spring, so I remember this all too well. She'll give you a little sunlight "Here ya go sweetie.. want some of that." Then take it away. "you gotta work for it this time." You'll feel like you've never been happier in your entire life when she gives you a fluke 57 degree day. Then want to cry at her deception the next day when you are wearing your uggs again. She gives then takes back.. over and over again..
Now, coming from Arizona.. I am not used to my state being so painfully fickle. Arizona is a giver. "HERE SUN! come and GET IT! Want MORE sun SURE!! 75 too cold.. how about 80!" I never felt like Arizona would string me along with promises of warmth every 4 days... I never felt like Arizona would lie to me about the status of spring* I always knew where I stood with Arizona.
But alas, when Chicago does give us spring.. then summer... the street fest having, beer drinking, beach laying, sport playing summer... You almost forget she strung you along for the last 3 painful months.
Yes yes... the spring tease has begun. Luckily, I am going to see my first love, Arizona in 13 days ... for a few days of uninterupted sun lovin!

Amers did you know that we have the same middle name?
And boy you sure are starting to sound like an official Chicago girl with your ease with the weather mood swings. I'm impressed.
Have you gotten a Spring Tease cold yet? That's when it's official. We've been sick here for a few weeks now!
