We are supposed to be writing about summer and why we love it, or how we fell in love during it. Yeah. So... I hate summer. My bday is June 18th, so I'm a summer baby. You'd think summer lovin' would be in my blood. It's not. I hate everything about it. I'm in good 'old Florida (AKA Hell) and all summer means is mowing the grass every week and being so sweaty after the walk from your car to the front door of your office building that you have to take deodorant with you and reapply before you get to your desk. For the record, I sweat in very unfortunate places for a girl. It's not pretty. 

The kids are out of school and 'camp' is one more expense you didn't have in the fall that you don't really need in the summer, but you can't leave the little crazies at home by themselves - dear, God! Do you remember what we did when our parents left us home by ourselves? Umm humm. So off to $150.00 a week camp they go to learn about dinosaurs or some other cool yet unimportant to their general development, kind of thing.

Winter - now there's a season I can really get behind. Cool, crisp air. All-day school. Christmas spirit. Fenway under the Christmas tree eating the bows! =)

Yes, give me winter and comfy sweaters over summer and skimpy shorts any day. For all of you summer lovin' fools; may your days be long, the sand be nice and warm and the water be perfectly cool. I'll see you in the fall! ;)
