Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

All of this sunshine is really doing a number on my mood. And I mean that in a good way. It's so nice to be able to go outside and not be freezing cold, and the sunshine certainly isn't hurting. So since we're all already enjoying ourselves, let's start the morning off with yet another smile. The Ohio State Buckeyes sat down for a quick quiz on all things 1990s and it was hilarious. I feel really old, so old, after watching this, but I'll never forget the look on their faces when they were asked to identify a floppy disk.

I know that we live in Ohio and there's probably a decent chance that some cold weather will ruin our vibes before we can officially say goodbye to winter, but I don't care. I'm ready for the summer and the sunshine and for swaying in my hammock, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.
