a spring in my step

Spring weather is finally here and boy do I feel chipper! I try to get out and walk around the neighborhood every few days, exploring a new street each time. The weather is sunny and perfect for walks after work. I love seeing people out and about and being a little further away from hipsterville has totally calmed me down when walking about. In our old neighborhood, I had to watch every which way to make sure a snotty little biker wasn't going to run me over. And yes, that has come close multiple times. Last year I did a good job memorizing the City of Chicago bike laws and I would recite the law to each biker I saw acting like an arrogant ass. Literally I did. You can ask the guy who called me a c*nt. :)

Any-ho, my new neighborhood is full of happy, wholesome people who bike ride for fun! They even smile at me. 

This weekend I did a lot of walking around, shopping, running errands and just enjoying the nice sunny days. One of my highlights was Sunday morning. Hunter and I woke up bright and early, very refreshed and ready to make the most out of our day. Which really meant we were ready to drink freshly brewed coffee and eat freshly baked donuts! While Hunter put his face on, I went out and got us donuts from my favorite donut shop around: Glazed and Infused! Notice Hunter's classy coffee mug on the right. We have a dozen if anyone wants one... 

The donut on the top right is called "bar mix" and it's freaking amazing. It's a chocolate donut with carmel glaze and topped with M&Ms, pretzels and potato chips. Hunter did a double take when he saw it and stared at me when I took a bite. I'm not sure if he was intrigued or disgusted, probably both.
