Delusional

Soooooooooooo we are on the brink of officially welcoming spring to the grand and glorious Midwest.  It's been a rough winter...which you are fully aware of if you have been following my blog for any length of time.

Today I had the privilege of volunteering at our Rescue Mission Thrift Store.  Three other gals from church joined me.  We sorted boxes of donations...weeding out the compromised, stained and gross...  and leaving the nice stuff in organized containers for thr hanger-upper and tagging folks.

Upon completing our 3 hour volunteering, one of the other volunteers and myself made our way to the sale floor for a quick perusal of merchandise.  It should be noted: I do not need any, ANY spring and summer skirts.  My warmer weather wardrobe is ridiculously fabulous...and I need nothing.  This fact did not stop me from purchasing a cute denim skirt ($1.49 on sale), a red t-shirt top that matches the red stitching on the denim skirt ($1-something) and lastly a pair of denim-ish sandals ($2.45).  For under five bucks, I found the cutest outfit...and I had a terrific time getting to know the other gals from church.

When I got home, I turned off the baseboard heat and opened my windows..I, then, went and checked Weather Bug's website and discovered that it's only 38° outside.  It feels so much warmer than 38...probably because it's sunny and we've had a dreadful winter.

As I sit here with the windows open listening to the washing machine whirling, I can't help but wonder....  Am I completely crazy for having the windows open or am I just delusional hoping for spring to arrive a few days early???
