Reasons to love summer!!

I know its hard to believe that I am already writing blogs about summer but it is almost memorial day. Only I do believe that a short two months ago (when I was coming back from Texas) it was snowing. Anyway, it has been nice out lately and it has even motivated me to start working out again - 2 nights in a row now. I have noticed that there are 21 annoying stairs from my sidewalk to my living room that I can not avoid after working out. Then I call and text people to complain about how sore I am. It makes me feel better. Still working on those buns o steel - after 2 nights, I can tell a difference.

1. its light out, even at night. this can often cause problems if there is alcohol involved. I have found myself uttering such phrases "how am I drunk? it's still light out!" "9:00 already? that can't be, it's still light out"

2. the pool is open - which always makes me MORE popular and famous. it is continuous fun from saturday morning through sunday afternoon

3. working on my tan - for those of you who haven't seen me in the summer (most likely my blogging fans and newer bffs) I have an amazing tan in the summer. some might think that i am mexican - well, sister thinks that everyone is mexican

4. blended drinks - i don't know why we always have to wait until summer to enjoy these frozen beverages. I think they are delish any time of the year. mom is a huge fan of anything with fresh fruit, juicem and cheapt rum

5. street festivals - this is more for sister, i know how much she LOVES any type of street festival with live music. it's the only excuse you can use to walk around on a sunday night and get drunk. i can't wait until when I visit chicago and experience numerous street festivals.

7. free fun! - people are always so giving during the summer months. there is always something to do - and it's usually free. a few examples would be... going to the park, playing tennis, going to the zoo, spending the day on the river - ok so this might not be free if you are the one who pays for the gas. just make sure you are invited along, this way it is free!

8. AMERICA - Why is it that we always celebrate AMERICA during the summer? There's Memorial Day and 4th of July. Plus I LOVE fireworks! oooooooooooh aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. You can't go wrong with a good ol fashioned cookout!

Look at all these reasons that I have come up with and it is only MAY. I'm sure there will be many updates to come.

What's your favorite part about summer?
