summer '09

it's officially summertime for me...even though it doesn't really feel like it. school stops and working full time starts. today is my first full day back after I took a much needed "me day" yesterday. i just wanted to have a quick break after school ended and work began to just relax and enjoy. i spent it cuddled up in bed watching romantic movies, catching up on my tv shows that i haven't had a chance to watch, and cuddling with kobie. i couldn't have asked for a better "me day" :) but today is back to reality. although i am excited about being back at work and not having to worry about school for a month or two (since i'm starting summer classes in July), it would be nice to actually enjoy my summer. so it's what i plan to do on the weekends. i'm hoping for a lot of day or weekend trips down to Wilmington or to the lake and hanging out by the pool with friends.

a few years ago, Carmen Rasmusen (a former American Idol contestant) released a song called "Nothin' Like the Summer" and it is probably my favorite "summer anthem." I always listen to it when the summer comes around because it really just puts you in the summery mood. Here's the chorus:

I love those summer days

Driftin' on by like a slow parade

And everything feels fine in the warm sunshine

When your world unwinds

And 'ya kick back in your flip-flops

And 'ya don't care about the tick-tock

And the world is full of music, dreams, and lovers

There ain't nothin' like the summer

It's such a great song. When you get a chance, you should listen to it. Click here for the link to the music video. Happy summer everyone!!
