Take It Down A Notch

Dear Spring,

You're nice. You are. Cute, perky — it's hard not to smile when you show up.

Actually you're downright adorable. Always sporting a bright sunny outlook, gorgeous outfits — really, your taste in colors is divine — you've got an infectious personality that really just blows people away.

And your perfume? It's delightful. Truly.

But you try too hard, kid. Ease up. This happens every year. You get all excited and overheated, and it's just too much too soon. Don't move so fast. Seriously. Summer really owns the whole sultry persona, so just leave it to her. She's always going to be hotter, so although you're doing an incredible job of matching her numbers, please stop trying to compete.

While we're on the whole "a-little-goes-a-long-way" topic, enough with the yellow powder. Please. I know you can't help it. I know you get all worked up and before you know it — poof! — it's everywhere. But if you're going to put it all over yourself, can you at least indulge in a shower a little more often? Really. People are talking.

I just thought you'd want to know.

Sincerely,
Me
