Summer is officially here! (Well in my book!) The “official” start may not be for a few more weeks, but to me, Memorial Day Weekend is the beginning of Summer! Lets hope with it, it brings good weather! I am so excited about my last Maine Summer..it is the absolute best part of living on the coast of New England..it is absolutely gorgeous here this time of year!
Lately, I have been so in love with bright colored clothing! Its become almost a bad habit. Most of my closet has always been neutral colors..it’s just easier that way. But in the last few months, I have gone shopping like crazy and have added some fun, crazy pieces to my wardrobe, and I’m loving it! The bright colors make me happy, they can change my mood sometimes, its so nice! You still wont find me with bright makeup, I’m all about the bronze there, but the clothes have definitely brightened up!
Also, I’m loooving the country music right now! I don’t know what it is about this time of year, maybe because the songs are about beer drinking, windows down, hair blowing , short shorts, warm nights, good company, and fun times. But when the country music comes on, I blare it, sing it, and dance to it! That’s another thing that makes me so happy! It’s fun! (Disregard the silly songs about their tractors or dog dying.)
Let’s talk about a fourth thing that makes me happy…cookie butter! Gah, I can hardly keep it around, I eat it so fast. Sometimes, by the spoon, right in front of the tv. That is so bad. But so good. I make waffles all the time around here, they’re so darn good, and they’re so easily frozen, and reheated in the toaster for breakfast all week! So one morning, I figured Id combine the two, then go a step further and make Cookie Butter White Chocolate maple syrup and drizzle it all on top. oy vey. What a great idea that was. Try it, you’ll understand.
