Green green green.

When I was in VA and for most of spring break, I was obsessed with green. I bought green moleskin journals because

1. I read several blogs featuring moleskin journals
2. I am trying to improve my cool rating by blogging
3. I will only become a cool blogger if I have a moleskin journal.
4. I was really into green during spring break.

I also purchased green Crate & Barrel mixing bowls and green espresso bowls from Anthropologie.

The media loves green. Green is the new black. Recycled bags at every store checkout counter. Went to MB initiation, and EVERYONE had some sort of green hobby. I feel remorse if I throw away any cardboard, even the cardboard from my floss packaging.

But now, I'm singing Kermit's song. It's not easy being green. I hate lots of things about the color right now. It's threatening my love affair from spring break.

1. I hate spring and the blooming trees. I have spent all of my flex spending for the year on allergy injections, prescription and over-the-counter drugs to make me immune to the trees and their fresh buds. Instead, I'm fussy at my students and walking around pushing on the area between my eyes to make the green pain stop.
   
2. The buds on the trees haven't signaled spring. We've had snow twice already in April. This makes it difficult to coach soccer and walk my dog. I would appreciate the arrival of spring to compensate for the throbbing pain of spring allergies.
3. Michigan State is losing pathetically. I hate when I cheer for a team from the Big 10 and they lose. Lame.

Less than 3 months until VA. 35 more days of 7th grade. I have a roommate. Until then, I'll sing with Kermit.
