JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING TO BREAK THE MONOTONY!

Wheeew weee!!! And just like that, JUNE IS HERE. 

#TIKC Good DAY!!  The good news is that SUMMER is here, y’all! And Memorial Day weekend was pretty groovy, as I'm hoping it was for all of you.  As hot as it is, remember to bite that tongue because just 5 months ago, we were cursing the snow and couldn’t wait for the return of the summer.

*Ques JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE  “Summertime”* *Leaning to the side, but you can’t speed through…*

Summer is my FAVORITE season.  Always has been.  From those hot summer nights in Saint Louis, lounging by the pool, to the sweltering heat of the Carolinas, singing in front of the window fans, to these hot summer nights in Maryland, that show no mercy for a girls hair-which admittedly, has me missing California.

Oh, Cali, how I miss you... My Venice Beach, PCH, Jonathan Club, The weather, Scenery, Cookaroo, Fresh food, Flow, and LA experiences to name a few;)... I digress...  If I won the lottery, one of my first purchases would be a summer home in Cali.  #FACT



Organic Only. Vegeterian.. next year



OK, back to SUMMER.  Sunlight has been proven to alter moods, in the most delightful way…but so has getting TOO hot-in more of a not so delightful way ;)  Folks will snap on ya when they too hot, won’t they! Patience is definitely thin. Lol But that sunlight, that music, the pool and the removal of clothes is only the beginning. Sipping lemonade (with or without circoc), making sun tea, (with fresh mint leaves like my grandmother used to make) doing lunch by the water. Heck, simply hanging out outside! Maryland crabs, family reunions, trips to the water park.  Can’t forget about those cookouts!  Now that is truly some good times and good eating. 



CANNONBALL!!!

 

#TRUTHIS Summer brings it out!  Summer not only brings out the big bellies, but it brings out those hard as hell abs that have been hiding all winter too.  It also brings out those tattoos that probably should have stayed hidden, along with those unflattering outfits. And oh those awesome wet looks. SMDH.  Now those are in abundance.  Gotte love it all!

 Yes, summer definitely is the time when you start thinking about all of those trips to the gym that you meant to take this winter, but always put off.  But, yet- it’s all a glorious component to SUMMER!!   As is humidity. You know that, has you sweating as soon as you walk out of the door heat. And yucka yucka to the stink bugs and ugh, those damn mosquitoes that are all too happy to have us- their all you can eat buffets, back in season.  But, #TRUTHIS I would take this any day over the arctic conditions that we faced this past winter.  Just as Beyonce said “I loves me some Jay-Z”.   I loves me some summer!

So, summer camp up in a few weeks for the girls and some fun in the sun up for the next three months FOR ALL OF US.  Treat yourself this summer!  And not just to the usual mani, pedi. (Fellas, I'm talking to you too).  Do something that you have been putting off or just be adventurous and GO FOR IT.  (That part I have already started ;))  You know, take a salsa class, go bungee jumping, scuba diving, a firing range...hell, have sex on the deck and try  not to wake your neighbors! ;) Whatever you do, no stress.  Pretend you too are on a summer 'break' from the drama!

I think summer makes us a little more ret-ta-go!  Have fun and be good.  It’s only just begun!

*Summer, Summer, Summer time...fades out.  So ya hit #REPEAT*

TTFN! xoxo
