Summer's Here...I'm For That

In the words of James Taylor..."Summer's Here, and I'm for that".

Here are some things I love to do in the summer.

1. Organize my life. Clean out closets, make lists, and actually complete them.

2. Run outside almost every day. Something about the sweating is actually cleansing, I think.

3. Watch Food Network and then try out lots of new recipes. Tonight I'm going to try making stuffed cabbage. Sounds nasty, but it looks fantastic.

4. Do lots of writing. In my own space, on my own time.

5. Go to the beach at least once and fall asleep face down on a towel on the first day. Luckily, I wear 70 SPF. :)

6. Take the dogs on walks after dinner.

Now, here are the words to that James Taylor song that really makes you want to put on your flip flops. I wish this blog had a music feature, because it would be a great background to my summer blog posts.

Summer's here
I'm for that
Got my rubber sandals
Got my straw hat
Got my cold beer
I'm just glad that it's here

Summer's here
That suits me fine
It may rain today
But I don't mind
It's my favorite time of the year
And I'm glad that it's here

Old man wintertime
He goes so slow
It's ten degrees below, you know
You can take your ice and snow
And let my balmy breezes blow

Yeah, the water is cold but I've been in
Baby, lose the laundry and jump on in
I mean all God's children got skin
And it's summer again

Old man wintertime
He goes so slow
It's ten degrees below, you know
You can take your ice and snow
And let my balmy breezes blow

Summer's here
I'm for that
Got my rubber sandals
Got my straw hat
Drinking cold beer
Man I'm just that I'm here
It's my favorite time of the year
And I'm glad that it's here, yeah
