"Let me not to the marriage of true minds
admit impediments. Love is not love
which alters when it alteration finds,
or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! It is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken..."

Summer is Here!

Summer is here and in full force. Just to recap a previous post. Winter-yuck. Summer-yum!

Why I love summer:
  1. Flipflops
  2. Pedicures
  3. Shorts
  4. Tank tops
  5. Bathing suits
  6. Swimming
  7. Tans
  8. Monsoon season
  9. The beautiful blue of the sky that only summer produces.
  10. BBQ and all the smells that come with them.
  11. Green lawns
  12. (If I actually did these things...ever)...Camping, tubing down the Salt, and going to the lake or river.
  13. The great feeling of the A/C on your skin-you can never get too cold during summer!
  14. School supplies-fresh wooden pencils, pens of every color, crisp new notebooks, a new pack of wonderful smelling lined paper, brightly colored folders...aaahhhh.
  15. Uh-yah! It's NOT cold so no reason to bundle up!
Why I don't like all things summer:
  1. Bugs: Flies, bees-ironically enough, box elder bugs (although I think these are year round), spiders, and, my greatest fear, ants. Ugh!
  2. Some days it is just too hot. Especially during monsoon season when the humidity will drain you of your water weight. Literally.
  3. Even though you have a beautiful green lawn now, it is too yucky out to mow. See 1 and 2.
  4. Shedding of the hair-be it me or my dogs.
  5. Waiting day by day as the monsoon clouds fill up to pour wonderful and cool rain down. And then it doesn't.
  6. Oh, and no fires in the fireplace. WAY too hot!

It's Been Ages!

Ha! I am back! Almost fooled you though, huh? Sadly, even though I have been gone so long, I do not have much to report. No teaching job yet. Sigh. I have neglected my only two friends (outside of the family). Sheesh. I have not mowed the lawn. Yikes! But I have joined a gym with my mom. Yah! And have acquired a part-time job. Finally.
