The LAST official day of summer, yet the weather did not get the memo.
What if I told you I only had ONE day poolside; NO trips to the beach; and NO vacations from work...work seemed to consume my entire year and I must say I am EXHAUSTED. I didn't even make much progress on my summer reading list.
I did manage to make time to take the kid to a carnival...
Entertain Blake with Snapchat filters...
Visit DC twice...once to FINALLY do the historic landmarks & visit the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my parents...and then Shekia & I visited Alicia for a girls night. They convinced me to get in a Lyft TWICE that night...this leads us to story time...
Remember the movie Bone Collector?! Well, after seeing it I refused to ever get in a cab by myself...and when Uber & Lyft hit the scene, I was like yeah NO I am good somebody may attempt to chop me up...I guess the promise of a few drinks & the company of good friends gave me courage this particular night.
I also have another confession. What if I told you I never fully appreciated Sade's No Ordinary Love until I was tipsy in the back seat of a Lyft while Alicia, Shekia, and the Lyft driver belted it out. Ya'll that song is damn good and I am LATE to the party, but I feel very welcomed here.
Embrace sticky bun Sundays...
Work via candle light as rain poured outside my window...
Fall in love with a new coffee shop...
Unwind at a concert in the park...
Surprise the kid with something he had really wanted when I picked him up from 1st grade...
And we may have cuddled most of the time I was there....EXACTLY what I needed |
It only seems right we end the summer with a fitting toast. SALUT!
What was one of your highlights of Summer '17?
