it seems that whenever the weather gets nicer, i suddenly become ms. popular. and trust me, i'm not ms. popular. my phone starts going off like crazy with texts asking me to hang out. my e-mail box comes to life with invites to parties and double dates and movies and restaurant weeks and weddings and drinks. spring not only breezes in with sunshine and birds and blooms, it brings with it friends who i haven't seen in months or all of winter, and sometimes even longer than that.
i was telling my sister-in-law about this phenomenon today and she called these people, "fair-weather friends," then added, "literally."
i guess that's okay because i'm happy to see them too. there's a certain magnetic quality about the first signs of spring... it's intoxicating, and people want to share that, want to lure you in, want to soak you up in their sun.
