Wow. I'm embarrassed. Be sure to ask me about the events of Thursday April 16, 2009. It is likely I will nervously laugh, blush, and change the subject. But go ahead and try. I'm a tough nut to crack and a hard cover book to read, but we all have our weak moments. Plus it's a bad economy, the Twins are losing, and my emotions are running high. It's worth a shot.
Meanwhile...
Wedding season officially kicks off for me tomorrow. Showers, Bachelorette parties, and dancing with the single groomsmen is all included in my 5 month forecast. Private schools should include some sort of financial aid package post-college for all the weddings you have to go to from the friends you meet at their school. It will be a meek and mild summer judging by the supply of my Tuesday paychecks and the demand for fine china (which let's be honest will come in the form of a Target gift card).
Wedding filled weekends aside, I have a few other summerish things that I have been waiting 6 months to enjoy again..........................................
1. CHAIN OF LAKES. Despite my annoyance with people who casually walk in these areas, I genuinely do love running around minneapolis in the summer. I love that I have a solid 3 hours after work to get a good long run in before the sun sets.
2. BRIT'S PUB. In my humble opinion, this is the greatest place to spend a summer night. Nothing beats a Snakebite on the roof.
3. TORCHLIGHT 5K. The 2nd most anticipated race by yours truly. It's at night..I like that. It's short..I like that. It's mid-week..I like that. It's basically happy hour but with running and I LOVE that.
4. COUNTRY MUSIC. That's right. This is coming from a girl who could not tolerate country music of any kind roughly 5 years ago. But fast forward to my 22nd birthday the spring of 2008 and I'm singing Redneck Woman at The Otter. It's simple math, really. Sunny warm weather + country music = good time.
5. PEOPLE..in general. Everyone seems a little more fun, a little more optimistic, and a little more spontaneous in the summertime. It's hard to be my normal bitter, sarcastic, grudge holding self when it's 75 and sunny. It's also hard to turn down last minute road trips, five consecutive days of happy hours, and taking in as many baseball games you can handle.
6. WARDROBE. I generally stick to the summer basics of running clothes or dresses. Usually wearing the same thing several days in a row because that's the beauty of summer.
That being said. Happy 70's, I need to go count down the next 35 minutes.
