Top 10 Reasons This Weather Bites (First World Edition)

We are under the thumb of Mother Nature this 'spring'.  She is being a nasty witch and keeping us drenched with almost non-stop rainfall and temps that won't break 40.  I've had a lot of inside time to think about the ways that this is a problem for me.  It's pretty rough.  Here are the top 10 ways this weather is adversely affecting my life:

10. The heated seats in my car don't get hot in the 90 second drive to daycare
9. Ralphie's Pampered Paws haircut goes flat in the rain.  It's not attractive.
8. I already took our wool coats to the dry cleaner - BECAUSE IT'S APRIL - and now I have to take them back out of the plastic
7. I threw out Matt's horrible old slippers while he was recently out of town for work.  But his feet are cold so now I have to order new ones and I'll probably have to pay shipping. (Note: crisis averted.  Thanks Target Red Card!)
6. When I was at the salon the other week my head got really cold in the ten minutes it took the dye to set
5. I have some new wedges that I haven't been able to wear.  Except for when we were on vacation.
4. Sometimes at the dry cleaner, a few drops of rain drip on me at the drive through
3. Ditto for Starbucks
2. I have to drive to the ice cream shop instead of walk, so I'm not burning those tens of calories.

And the number one way this weather is messing with me:
1. My fingers are scrawnier so the giant rock I got in Florida spins around my finger and gets in the way of stuff. 


Oh dear spring, we need you SOON!
