Summer is really not my most favorite season... there I said it. People always gasp in horror but it's true. I live in the deep south and well.. it's hot as a whorehouse on nickel night here during the summer and I don't like it one bit... the heat that is. But there are a lot of things I do love about summer, the things that if we experienced in any other season just wouldn't translate or be nearly as wonderful. Stuff like....
Beer - Icy cold deliciousness... It's just so good when it touches you lips. My fave.
Mason Jar Drinks... Anything goes here and they travel well and look cute. Like Sangria fro example. Make em ahead and pack a ton for you and your boy/girlfriends the next day at the lake or the pool, or the deck.
Outdoor Concerts... is there anything better than outdoor music venues? No... the answer is No. I almost never go to arena's anymore cause it just blows in comparison. This summer I have Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan and Keith Urban coming to my town and my 2 fave outdoor venues. I shit you not and I am about to bust something I'm so excited. I'm going to all three.
Flip Flops.. The $2 dollar kind... in every color.
Grillin - Cause I don't care what it is, if it's summer you should grill it. End of story.
Layered Salads... You know the kind that are at every summer barbecue you go to and are just like a total party in your mouth... plus they all have bacon.
I love being Tan... I know I know I know... it's bad for you but God Dammit it just looks so good!!!
So even though pretty soon it'll be hotter than a billy goat's ass in a pepper patch.... I guess in my world with enough alcohol, good music, delicious food, cute accessories and a tan I be A'ight!
Linking up with Tay and Helene today because it seemed like a good idea!

What's you favorite thing about summer? Spill....
It gets pretty hot and humid in Canada during the summer but thank goodness nothing like the South... I am also not a fan of summer! Looking forward to pretty pedicures and to wearing cute summer dresses! I am so tired of big sweaters and winter jackets! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for all the outdoor concerts and mason jar drinks! lol
ReplyDeleteYes to all of the above.
ReplyDeleteI know it is so bad but honestly is there anything better than having tan legs??? It just makes everything look better right? The only thing about summers in Florida is the humidity is pretty killer but I guess if that's the only thing I'll take it!
ReplyDeleteThis post rocks in so many ways I can't even name em all. Love the drink idea in the mason jars. What part of the south do you live in that those concerts are happening? I'm wishing I was at the beach down in panama city in about 45 minutes or so. Just so i can hear one song live by Cole Swindell. Luke Bryan was down there a week or so ago.
ReplyDeleteSummer - lets see i love when old navy has flip flops for $1.00 and hoping to find me some with owls on them some where. I love lake trips and hopefully will get a beach trip. Hope we get a new pool this year b/c that's gonna be lots of pool time and relaxing. although i suck at tanning. i either burn or peel

being a little tan isn't too bad for you... right?! haha i mean it's vitamin d after all!!
ReplyDeleteOutdoor concerts are the BEST! I can't stand most indoor concerts... too stifling. I need a tan SO freakin' bad. It's been driving me NUTS lately.
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect! I love all of those things but: "Oh Sangria (in a hot summer night), how I miss you!" :)
