So. It's hot. And I'm pretty sure my usefulness for summer is over. It's like a bad break up, you know? You have this great love affair and you can't wait to see him. You can't wait to be embraced in his warmth and love. But then the ugliness rears its head and under the heat of day, you see the flaws and fissions where once only rainbows and sno-cones were. So, you know, you have to break up, right? The harsh reality never living up to the fantasy...
But where was I? Oh, yeah. It's hot. And as my A/C kicks on every 3 seconds, and I fantasize about dinners of ice cubes and popsicles, I dream of the upcoming fall. And start counting the things I can't wait for. Like...
:sweaters. And it being cool enough for sweaters.
:apple cider. There's a place here that makes the BEST cider. And I don't normally like cider, but I've been dreaming of it for a year.
:October. I really love the month of October, in all it's orangeness.
:Starbucks. I'm sincerely missing caramel hot chocolates right about now.
:my new rain boots. (These, but how cute are these? Or These? Ooooooh. Or these?)
:complaining about the cold and counting down until summer...
(keane, the lovers are losing)

I am laughing so hard right now. And Jacob says, "she's breaking up with summer? You can't break up with summer, it's like a bad boyfriend-it won't go away it just becomes like a stalker."
Oooooh. Stalker creep. Yeah, I can get behind that.
I seriously could have use a pair of those rainboots last night!
If Jess and I were impulsive buyers, we would have just ordered 3-4 pair each! So cute.
I am so looking forward to fall as well! It's a great time of year. Your post reminded me of the time I was introduced to the great hot chocolate at Cafe Ibis, right after it had just snowed a foot in the middle of June.
Ooooooh. Rachael. Ibis is also an acceptable answer!
I feel like we're still waiting for summer to get started here. We've had a lot of May gray and June gloom and I don't even know what to call it when it lasts into July & August. They keep blaming it on El Nino or La Nina or whatever. Maybe we're out of luck this year. I guess I might feel like you if we actually had fall here.
Try thinking about old, dirty snow everywhere, short, dark, cold, windy days, filthy inversion air and everybody being sick all the time, maybe that will help. It usually works for me when I start wishing that I lived there instead of here.
I spend entirely too much money at Starbucks in the winter. Mmmmm....I can't wait until fall! I don't really miss my sweaters yet because I pretty much have to wear one in the house because I am always cold. (it has been that way since my surgery in October. I have a hard time staying warm)
I say bring on Fall!!!
I was JUST feeling the same way yesterday. ME? Yeah, I wondered if I had lost my stinking mind.... Where is this magical place for Cider?, because I'm up for that.
