*Icier coffee is pricier coffee.
*There’s an increased likelihood of getting jumped –
the warmer the weather, the greater the odds of violent crime. I know I read
that somewhere, sometime.
*I don’t want to sweat.
*In about 6 weeks from now, when I first begin to
complain about the sweating, an acquaintance will be all, “Well, it is summer.” Yes, I know, but when this
person spent the better part of November, December, January, February, and March complaining about the
shivering (and less than a foot of snow), I companionably stayed quiet.
*Back to hats. The fedora has made a comeback. Tastemakers
seem more brazen about throwing one on when the temperature soars above 35
degrees.
*The chirping about summer homes and time-shares in
two specific locations – the Hamptons and Cape Cod - has already begun (à la, “You’re
on the Cape, right?” “No, silly, you’re thinking of my ex-in-laws and my grandfather’s
new girlfriend. We’re in Sag Harbor. We are
Sag Harbor”).
*My ankle boots (the “aggressive girl’s” footwear of
choice, researchers report) have a way of effortlessly optimizing my posture,
and I report that our posture says more about us than our shoes. As much as I
adore flip-flops, I would continue wearing these boots through the spring and
summer if I didn’t worry about this being a gateway to hitting the streets and
beaches in fedoras.
I hear you, Roving Retorter, on the obnoxiousness of hearing about summer plans in the Hamptons and Cape Cod. (Actually, I love Cape Cod--if only I had a little cottage there on the beach, I would be so happy, and then I, too, would be talking about my summer plans in paradise.) As it is, as a freelance writer and editor, I'm thinking more about what kind of paying project I can possibly pull in for the summer, while I remain here in NYC in front of my computer, with an electric fan (not air conditioning) to keep me company.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the insight! I am looking forward to your next post and the enlightment that I will gain from it!
ReplyDeleteI hear you. Just three nights ago, it was 30 degrees Centigrade here (about 82F) around midnight. But then again, this is the Middle East.
ReplyDeleteCan't stand pricier coffee.
