Wishing for sunshine

The weather has been slightly confused in South Bend. The clouds and jet stream think it is late March. It is right around 40 degree and a deep dark grey. We've had approximately 7 hours of sun in the past 3 weeks. I wish I was exaggerating but it's the truth. I'm not a huge fan of really hot weather but I do love sunshine. I'll take the heat (with my central air of course) for a little sun.

Now I'm quite thankful for this little temperature mix-up. I'd be very content to for go some for warmer weather. It was my own foolishness that led me to have temporary amnesia regarding lake effect snow when I took my job in South Bend. It was April/May when I was interviewing for the position and in June I moved up here. Hence beautiful weather. The cold snow we received through most of November and December was not something I bargained for.

This warm spell has provided a bit of relief. I'm contemplating a quick visit to the tanning bad but then again do I really want to hasten the aging of my skin? Temporary warmth and happiness at the risk of skin cancer...I probably can't make myself do it.

I just need to find a hot vacation spot.
