Better than lint

It is spring and you know what that means...
...tulips, baby animals, and Easter eggs?
Well, that too.
But I was thinking along the lines of spring coats and jackets! There is nothing more liberating to a cold climate dweller than shoving the down puffer jackets and long wool pea coats into the back of the closet. Then, the light weight happy jackets get to move to the front and it is like going shopping at your own house. This morning I busted out a jean jacket for the first time since the fall and you'd think the excitement would stop there but no, it just kept coming. While chatting with a co-worker first thing in the morning I put my hand in my pocket and could feel my face lighting up. She paused and watched my slowly pull out...TWO DOLLARS!
She said, "Well hey there, money bags!" Clearly that is someone who understands the joy of finding treasures in spring outerwear after a long winter.


I checked the other pocket and found a Dora the Explorer band aid. Also exciting but it won't buy me treats from the vending machines in the basement at the office like the money will so it takes second place.
