Spring Fever

I have a bad case of Spring Fever: My favorite pair of gladiator sandals are starring at me from my closet just begging to be worn. My shorts and tank tops are collecting dust on their hangers. My favorite Hawaiian Tropic suntan oil that smells like coconut and bananas is taunting me from the dresser. And the new black bikini I bought a couple of weeks ago is practically screaming at me from across the room. February is possibly the most dismal, dreary month of the entire year. But luckily, there are a few things keeping me away from the winter blues...

1. SPRING BREAK IS IN A MONTH! And guess where I am planning on spending my lovely week off?

That's right... Disneyland!! My bestest friend RayCray and I are planning on road tripping there and crashing at our friend's dorm for a few days. Not only we will bask in the glow of Disney's awesomeness, but we are also planning on soaking in some MUCH needed Vitamin D on the beach, stuff our faces with loads of cheap junk food, and possibly hit up Hollywood to say hello to some celebs.

2. Olympics...

*Ahem*... need I say more? I didn't think so. Although, I was watching the freestyle arial skiers yesterday and had the sudden urge to go skiing myself. Not arial skiing, just skiing skiing. You would think after having lived in Utah my entire life I would go more often. Sadly, I've only gone a handful of times.

And a second, but much more exciting note to the Olympics: So my cousin's husband is a speed skater and is good friends with ^that dude right up there^... and guess who is coming to their house for dinner when said person returns from Vancouver? Yeah, I was speechless too. So I think I'm going to have to invite myself over that night. Just sayin'.

3. Exercise.

Strangely enough, I have found myself actually enjoying working out lately. My parents recently bought an elliptical and it's pretty fun! I hate jogging, mainly because I get killer side aches really easily, but for some reason I can go for a really long time on this before I get tired. It feels amazing! I also do a lot of different work outs on one of those big exercise balls. I learned some really cool tricks in my aerobics class last semester and so now I actually know how to use it. Let's hope all this hard work will pay off and that in a month I will be in bikini-bod shape for Spring Break vaca ;]

What is keeping you going during these bitter winter days?
