Yellow

Dear yellow,

I love when Coldplay sings about you.  Really, it's a lovely song.

I love when you come in the form of a tulip.  You're my favorite in that respect.

However, lately, we have not been getting along.  I do not like you in this powdery, pollen-y form.

Over the past month or so, you have tinted my car that is supposed to be silver.  Yesterday, I got out of the car, and my black pants were quickly covered with you.  Not so lovely.

And you make me sneeze.  Embarrassingly loud.  Everyone around me keeps God Bless-ing me.  Thank you, people.  No thank you, yellow pollen.

As much as I like your color, I'm asking you to leave now.  It's really time to go.  You can come back in increments.  I just don't appreciate you in such big, powdery, overwhelming qualities.  It's not you, it's me.  Ok... it is you.  It's the way you make my throat itch on a sunny day.  It's the way you make my blue eyes turn red.  It's the way that you make me spend money on Sudafed, when I really would rather buy something happy, like M&Ms.

Love, me.

P.S. - Today is my (not so) little brother's birthday!  He's 18!  I'm a little emotional because he's just so old and mature and handsome and he's graduating this year... Anyway, he's a great little brother.  And I hope he has a great day!
Happy Birthday, Brock!

  4. The yellow cloud moved through here a couple of weeks ago...thank goodness it's gone. I was dying!

    Of course, the other day my hubby tried to kill me, not on purpose, but by burning some old chairs that were covered in pollen. It was horrid! And then he sanded the deck last night and it was covered too...see...trying to kill me!

  11. Happy birthday Brock! little brothers grow up so fast, Jacoby just blows my mind of how mature he's become just over the past year of being away at college!

    Brock is such a sweetie, I know you'll just love on him as much as you can! :)

  17. The pollen has been ridiculous here, too! I didn't realize I was quite so allergic to it until it took over. Not fun. But I love that Coldplay song! :)

  25. It is my favorite color. Pollen is NOT my favorite...er thing? My eyes are itchy and well you know the drill. And I've apparently passed it on to my daughter. Sad. I would like to add my signature to your petition!
