Summa dis and Summa dat....

Those who've known me for years, know that I usually HIDE from the sun. Maybe it stemms back to the old 90's fashion of pale skin and red lips, pale always being better...even if you look less healthy ugh.
Or maybe its from the very bad sunburn I got at Canada's Wonderland in grade school, standing on the bridge watching that log ride come down and drench the heck out of you.... that is when I learned that sun and water make for a horrible burn! Maybe it comes from the fact that I dont like being uneven ie...tan lines. (solution nakkie beach! yet to try haha). Maybe it also comes from the fact that I do suffer from sunstroke - it has happened a few times... I really cannot sit in the sun for too long or else I feel nauseous and extremely exhausted.
Regardless .... I do like summer :) I've grown to slowly come out into the sunshine.
And dis is what I like:

• Smooothe sailing on the DVP going home.... the kids are off school and its like half the population on the road has disappeared! AHHHHH love it!
• The smell of BBQ and eating bbq.... though Im not much of a red meat eater.....
• Justified Ice cream trips! (yea, icecream is good all year round)
• I go to work in the day time - ie. the sun is out when I wake
• I go home in the day time - ie. the sun is out when I drive home
• Wearing dresses! (though I really dont have that many... shopping time!)
• Biking
• Blading by the beach
• Sitting outside to have dinner on the patio/ backyard.....(as long as I'm under the shade)
• Warm summer nights
• Swimming outdoors viewing the stars on warm summer nights (did that only once)
• Staying out late on warm summer nights
• Justified Ice Cap from Timmys (yes, also good all year round)
• Food fests all round the city
• No traffic on the hwys..... wait.... said that already...... but I reallllllly love this!

Ah there are more Im sure.......looking forward to the rest of this summer...... hope it stays with us for a long time this year!
