Even though it was warmer in NYC pre-3/20 than post-3/20 it is officially spring! To celebrate, I redesigned my blog so that it wasn't wintery white. Who digs the new colors? I do!
Is anyone else SUPER PSYCHED for summer? I know I'm jumping the gun a bit, since spring only just started, but I've been waiting for summer to come back since October 1. Summer is my absolute favorite season and since I won't be spending this one sweating it out in Inwood, I'm extra pumped. Still don't have an AC, but curtains and a tree outside my window make me hopeful that maybe, just maybe, I can scrape by without one this year. Because you know what is mad expensive? Portable air conditioners.
So, summer. It's awesome. I mean, it's always awesome, because there's sun and outdoor concerts and you can go for walks and it's sunny until like 9pm. And I have way more summer clothes that I like than any other season. But this summer is especially awesome and here are some reasons I am looking forward to it:
1. Hawaii. Duh.
2. I live in Brooklyn, which just seems like a better place to be in the summer than Inwood.
3. Sunglasses. They're just more fun in warm sunshine (as opposed to watery winter sunshine)
4. Sandals and flip flops. They're better than boots and sneakers (no matter how much I love boots)
5. Going out to bars without carrying a humongous jacket. More fun.
6. Waking up to sunshine instead of dark.
7. Concerts in parks
8. Dining alfresco (so many places in my hood)
9. Packing away bulky sweaters means I have more room in my closet
10. Summer always makes me want to rent a convertible and drive around with my girlfriends singing awesome songs. I've never done this, I can't drive in NY and most of my girlfriends aren't here. But it's the attitude, and feeling of doing it without actually doing that summer gives me. It puts that bop in my hop when I'm walking to the subway.
Viva la verano!
**Disclaimer** that Spanish is probably super incorrect. Who cares? It's (almost) summer y'all. The season to be carefree.
I think its Vivas but I could be wrong.
