Summertime

Happy Memorial Day weekend everybody! That's right, it's the official start to summer. I feel like it was just New Year's Eve? This year is flying by. As much as I am not a fan of summer (I just don't enjoy being sweaty and having frizzy hair), Memorial Day weekend still gives me that same feeling I had as a kid...the pool will be open soon, lots of BBQ's and late nights sitting on the front porch with friends. The only bummer is that at least when summer came school ended, but there is no end in sight for work.
There is however half day Fridays starting today which is pretty sweet. In order to get home nice and early today I decided to drive in. I wish I could drive in everyday, it's so nice to just sit back and listen to the radio. In fact, while driving I heard the ultimate summer kick-off song, Summertime. Although cheesy as hell it totally brought me back to when Kelly, Gina, Diana and I were teenagers and we used to get so excited over summer. Summer was when we would drive around Brooklyn and good ol' Staten Island, hang out in the school yard down the block or in Kelly's back yard or front porch all night. During the night people would always come by looking for us and would hang out for hours. Every night was like a party. We have so many awesome memories from those days. Don't you wish you were young again?
