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.
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!
oh boy do i feel the SAME way about pollen! it is the absolute worst this year! it really needs to rain and wash it away :)sorry you're having allergies - any consolation I'm in the same boat?
ReplyDeleteI too am hating the yellow devil right now! Even the rain we recently had did nothing!!! Here's to sudafed and allergy eye drops!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you! ;0)
ReplyDeleteYellow is my favorite color but not when it's covering my car!
ReplyDeleteThe yellow cloud moved through here a couple of weeks ago...thank goodness it's gone. I was dying!
ReplyDeleteOf 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!
I feel the exact same way. That yellow is covering up my car and killing my sinuses right now!!
ReplyDeleteYes, the pollen is bad this year! But I do love that Coldplay song :-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe the pollen is why I've had a headache for the past week, hang in there, it will be over soon!
ReplyDeleteyuck---i've been having horrible allergies lately! it must be everywhere!
ReplyDeleteseriously! i've had enough of the allergies. ack!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I did not even know I was allergic until recently. My allergies are going BONKERS! my left eye is watering non-stop and i'm about to lose my mind.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love the song YELLOW :)
Feel better!
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!
ReplyDeleteBrock is such a sweetie, I know you'll just love on him as much as you can! :)
booo to allergies! Yuck!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Hunky brother!
I agree completely! I've been coughing for a month straight.
ReplyDeletehaha fantastic post :) xxx
ReplyDeleteMy car is covered in pollen and my allergies are going bonckers! But I love spring! lol
ReplyDeleteI love yellow to but not in the form of pollen! I hope your allergies get better soon! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your brother!!
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! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your brother!
We have yellow minds today! I don't like pollen either!! Happy bday to your bro :)
ReplyDeleteI could not have said it better! I finally splurged on Zyrtec today. Until this Spring I had no idea I had allergies. Suddenly this year it's killing me! Hope you feel better and Happy Birthday to your Brother :)
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you, the pollen is driving me crazy!
ReplyDeleteOh allergies...so, so fun. not. I too am so sentimental over my little bro....he just turned 20...yikes.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I'm definitely going to work on that to make my blog pretty!
ReplyDeleteyou are so poetic, even about pollen! I love it :)
ReplyDeleteboo hoo to pollen!!! i can't believe brock is 18!!! wow!
ReplyDeleteIt 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!
ReplyDeleteI think it is really great that you wrote about me and my favorite coldplay song in the same blog!
ReplyDelete-hunky brother
I thank God every day that I do not have seasonal allergies.
