It may be June 26 already, but I have yet to swap my winter and summer clothes. I think that task will be on my to-do list for tomorrow, now that we've had a consistent string of super hot days. Our poor air conditioner has been running 24/7 to keep our 3rd floor apartment cool. Although our electricity bill will be larger next month, I think it's worth the extra money to be able to sit comfortably in our home. (Last year, I stubbornly refused to keep the A/C on all day, every day--and we were a hot mess as a result.)
In addition to the summer-like weather, here are some reasons why today especially feels like summer:
- I'm sporting a tank top and the all-important summer accessory, the side ponytail, tonight. Not to be vain or anything, but when I caught a glimpse of myself in the rearview mirror, with my shades on, I looked like the epitome of summer.
- We drove around with all the car windows down. Dave practiced his driving skills while I enjoyed the occasional summer breeze in the late evening.
- A large glass of iced tea accompanied my dinner tonight. It's not summer until you break out the iced tea.
- Dave booked a rental car for our July vacation. For some reason, getting this done made our upcoming getaway feel more real. I can't wait to be back at the lake!
There were some days when the summer threatened to avoid us this year, so I am so glad it's finally here! Even when the temps reach the 90s and the humidity swallows you the moment you step outside, I'd take this over sub-zero temps any day.
