fill in the blank friday.

California summer is in full swing.

My pale German skin may not have been ready for it.

My non existent air conditioning in my car may be causing me to sweat more than normal on a five minute car ride, but it's okay. I'm getting by. Thankfully both sets of parents have pools.

Because I don't think I could handle it.

Come link up with Lauren, and join the fun.

1. My plans this summer include spending time with family and friends I haven't seen in over a year, Lake Tahoe with the family, Oregon trip, drinking legally, and getting my native tan back.

2. The best summer I ever had was probably one of my summers while living in the Bay Area, so under 10 years old. I was on swim team and reeked of chlorine, my hair was white blonde with a tint of green, we played with the neighborhood kids from sun up to sun down. Roller-blades, popsicles, tadpole catching in the creek, family trips...really just the essence  of childhood. But my favorite "grown up" summer would be the summer after I graduated high school. Euro Grad trip...amazing.

3. Summer is for BBQ's, swimming, sun kissed skin to match sun drenched hair, road trips, bare feet, and open air concerts.

4. My favorite summer food is anything barbecued. Truly. I am obsessed with barbecuing everything. Especially grilled veggies. Yum.

5. The best way to quench summer thirst is with a margarita. Or an ice cold beer. By the pool.

6. My summer uniform consists of a bathing suit, covered by a cute dress, and sandals.

7. The best thing about summer is that it gives me a sense of childhood innocence and adventure. Also, my birthday is in August, and I love how my hair looks after being in the pool :)
