It's kindof summer outside! After a few hellish weeks of nasto humidity and thunderstorms, one can only assume that this crockpot of summer goodness is here to stay--at least for the next 3-4 months. For some ungodly reason I am actually somewhat excited about the oppressive heat, humidity, and all around smelliness that is New York in the summertime.
I think it's mostly because this summer brings the following things:
5. Brimfield! I am so excited to go hunting for new-old furnishings galore!
4. Popsicles! I am of the belief that popsicles should have their own food group. They are the perfect snack on a sticky, hot day: instant cool down. Am I right, or am I right?
3. Picnics! Every summer my trusty gang and myself go on picnics, which most of the time, include games of Uno, Jello, good times and Polaroid cameras...which brings me to my #2....
2. Polaroids! There's just something magical about waiting for that photo to develop that cannot be emulated by any sort of Instagram-type device. (Although, I am quite a hypocrite, as I do enjoy the Instagram as well. But my first love will always be film. Romantical. Sigh.) The photos are even more magical in the summer with the faded colors of the summer-summer-summertime light.
and the #1 reason I'm excited about this summer is...
1. RELOCATION! After testing out the waters as Uptown Girls, Em and I have decided that we were not meant to be posh sophisticates (or at least I'm not, she's still on the fence about living in a $30 million apartment that she saw in the NY Times Real Estate section...) and are meant to be living across the river in Brooklyn! Home of good pizza, crazy hipsters, and good times with our friends (all of which still live there!) I'm so excited, I've already started looking for an apartment, way too early...BUT I DON'T CARE!
I'M BROOKLYN BOUND, BABY!
