Day 16: What are your summer wardrobe staples?
Usually, I wear capris and a nice, professional looking top to work and on the weekends I'm either in my swimsuit all weekend between the river and the pool or I'm in shorts and a tank. But this year, I'm quite a bit heavier than I was last year. Last year, I had lost a ton of weight from cancer treatment and I optimistically got rid of all my fat clothes thinking I would stay that size. Sadly, I didn't. And now I can't fit into my last summer's clothing, no longer have my fat clothing and just started a new job so I can't really afford to go shopping just yet! I've managed to wear dress pants and a few dresses to work and when I'm not at work I'm either in my swimsuit or workout clothing. And of course, I have several pairs of flip flops. I just hate that I can't wear them to work ever!
Day 17: What are your favorite summer activities? What's on your summer bucket list?
I love summer. I don't mind the heat. I love to be near water. I can usually be found sitting by a pool reading or if it is really hot, in the pool hanging onto a float! If I'm not at the pool, you'll find me on the Cahaba river floating.
I usually try to fit in a white water rafting trip on the Ocoee at least once during the summer and also a beach trip. I'm not sure the beach trip will happen this summer but fortunately, weather stays pretty warm well into October here and I don't have small children to worry about taking time off during school for a trip. Plus the rates are much cheaper after Labor Day. So we'll see.
I also love cookouts and spur-of-the-moment meet-ups with my besties for drinks on a patio somewhere.
Summer has also always been the time for me to catch up on my pleasure reading being that there was no grad school during Summer months but now that I'm completely done with grad school anyway, I now have time to focus on that year round.
Since I just returned to work full-time, I don't really have a Summer bucket list. I just hope to get opportunities to spend time with people I love/like relaxing, having fun and making memories!
