Talk about cliche: “Lovely weather we’re having…”

I know that a weather post is soooo blah…but I’ll try to spice it up for ya.

I love summer weather (especially the freaking amazing weather we are having in the NE this week – 90 is the high today).

I love the yellow daffodils, the rabbit population that is thriving on my front lawn and all over my lawn if you catch my drift (randy little things) and I love the sound of all the children playing outside after a long winter of cabin fever. It’s the best.

BUT (and of course, there is a but) there are a few things that really get in the way of enjoying my sunny, warm, lovely summer-ness:

ALLERGIES: I am a year-round red nose. Red nose from the cold in the winter. Red nose from the allergies in the spring and summer. Call me Rudolf; call me Maybelline’s best customer. It’s all the same…
GARDENERS: Not the little ladies in large hats and gardening gloves pruning their roses — they are harmless. I mean those big posse gardeners who roll into my neighborhood with like 4 or 5 guys, with their nasty air-polluting trucks and noisy leaf blowers — Why are they even using leaf blowers this time of year? Why can’t my neighbors cut their own lawns? So angry.
BATHING SUITS: How long can I use the “I just had a baby” excuse? Months? Years?” I need guidelines.
WAXING: I am Italian which is usually a good thing except for when it comes to waxing expenses. Can you say second mortgage?
DOGWALKERS: I can’t stand when people walk their dogs on my lawn. It is the rudest thing ever. I like to go barefoot on MY LAWN in the summer and I don’t want to have to worry about stepping in anyone’s or anything’s squishy waste. It’s not cool. In fact, it’s nasty.

and finally…WORK: I hate that I am still sitting in my office writing to you and not enjoying this amazing weather…time to change that.

See ya!
