This morning I was woken up by my roommate rolling up my blinds, letting the sun pour in, and yelling at me to wake up because it was so nice out.  So, I woke up, cooked some strawberry pancakes (which is my new specialty...actually...my only specialty) and then headed out for a bit of shopping and yummy Chinese food with my friend Saige.  We couldn't believe how warm out it was.  I was finally able to ditch my parka and walk around without my toes getting numb.  Such a beautiful thing.
