Spring Needs & Wants

Hey! Guess what?

It snowed.

Again.

It better be the last snowfall. It was super great fun because the first flakes started to drift down just as I was heading out the door to my friend’s 30th birthday party. She was having a wine tasting with a sommelier, cake and lots of yummy cheeses and even some gluten-free crackers for me. She also had a mechanical bull rental for entertainment, which everyone enjoyed. It had been far too long since I had seen her and I needed to make that hour trek into the country. As I hit the back roads, the trees were already decorated in white. Deer crossed the roads in groups of one, two and then six. It was a bit magical. I was enchanted and really happy I ventured out, even if an inch or two was already on the ground at her place.

By 10 p.m. as the party wrapped up and we were all good to go home it was clear that it wasn’t happening. Six inches had fallen in a few hours and H texted to tell me to stay there for the night. My friend and I poured another glass of Prosecco and settled in for the night. A night which ended in the wee hours of the morning and four more inches of snow. By mid-morning I was dug out and headed home. A much-needed visit, tons of fun and an impromptu sleepover starting my week. It was just what I needed.

The week is supposed to end in the 60s and I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ve been putting together my lists of needs and wants for spring. I’m ready for sleeveless dresses and to try new things. Besides, after all this time, I have FINALLY found the ONE Maxi Dress that I like and would actually wear. They have never been my thing. And a jumpsuit!  I’m really excited about that one.  It’s navy, priced right from Forever 21 so I don’t feel like I’m going too far out on a limb and will look gorgeous with flats or heels.

What are you wishing for and wanting this Spring?
