My sisters, Anna and Candace, and my friend Tim (not shown --- the photographer) came to see me in Korea! Oh we had a fabulous time.. Thank- you for coming guys! More on that later but now for the...... --->
Random thought of the day.. Doesn't it feel good to sweat again? I mean really sweat??! The drip, drip with no dry kind of sweat? In honor of delicious, hardcore, nasty, sticky sweat I have compiled a list of some of the reasons I love Summer.. So far 20...AND more to come >.<1) Sweat2) Watermelon even if it is $8.00 and Strawberries3) Fresh squeezed sour/sweet Limeade from Mexico... My Mexican mom, Zoila, you have made me a spoiled Mexican food brat... I thank thee :)4) 5:30 sunrises and 9pm sunsets5) Outdoor theaters. great time to nap outdoors because who are we kidding? You can't actually hear the movie anyway :)6) Summer dresses and flip-flopsOh, Oh... making Koreans uncomfortable by showing a little elbow (yes, yes... I know, I'm lewd.. I really should put away my suggestive elbows, but I just can't help myself...)7) Korean Visors (take our visors times their size by 4 or 5 and then you have a Korean Visor...Yes, yes it's like a visor on steroid. Exactly! Yet not only do they wear the visors outdoors, these beauties can also be seen sported indoors or at night. It makes wearing sunglasses indoors seem quite practical actually.)8) Peach picking while sweating...9) Deodorant so I can continue to appreciate #1 and #8 without too many ill affects10) Salads and Korean Melons. :)11) Trying to grow lettuces and tomatoes on the rooftop of a 20-story Korean apartment building.. notice the key word "trying" :)12) Saying good-bye to winter forever (Ok, I lie, but I'm a happy disillusionist, don't burst the bubble. It's a pretty blue bubble and I like it this way.)13) Having bonfires fueled by sweaters and scarves and socks and tights..14) Picnics and No Socks15) Cat Naps in hot, heavy humid air.16) Watching Koreans stare at me in the subway.. *but who am I kidding? I rudely stare every season of the year, sorry Mom.17) Lady bugs, fireflies, birds18) Barefootedness --- except the dirty feet part that comes with it because then Koreans stare at me even more because I'm just a dirty-footed, elbow showing, no-visor wearing, sweaty foreigner..19) Spiders, Ants and Snakes20) Coming to the realization that I was severely and totally mentally damaged by Korea's winter... Because suddenly, for the first time in my life, I am thankful for spiders, snakes, and ants and humidity.. What's wrong with me? ::fyi y'all, that's a rhetorically question. No feedback is needed::Well that the start of my summer-loving list...My goal is to make the list go at least until 100..or maybe 120... gasp!!! Yes I'm a hardcore heat lover.. with pit-marks to prove it... yes, yes too much information, I know.. Next time I will be less descriptive. I apologize.
