Ripe Fruit


I love when the fruit you bought at the store or market are perfectly ripe. I just ate a peach that was only half ripe, I guess I should have waited to eat it, but the part that was ripe was delicious. The summer months you can get ripe cherries, blueberries, peaches, watermelon, plums, strawberries, and many more. It's a great season for perfectly ripe fruit. I recommend going to the market and buying some fresh fruit, it's a great snack to have around the house.

Loving the Coffee

I know it's not the best thing for my tummy, but I really love the taste of coffee. I've started drinking it more often since I've been unemployed. The creamers they have these days make the coffee even tastier.

During the Summer months I make iced coffee. It really wakes me up in the morning. Being in the house most days it's sometimes hard to stay motivated, so the coffee gives me that extra burst of energy to get me working.

During my Senior year in high school I remember drinking coffee all the time. It was the perfect drink right before an exam. I was dating a guy that worked at Starbucks so that might have had a lot to do with it.

I also love coffee-favored ice cream and chocolate covered coffee beans. I am a fan of the taste and I can't help but indulge every once in a while.

Summer Clothes

I've already expressed some reasons why the south is a great place, one being it's friendliness towards their neighbors. Another one I would like to write about today is the acceptance they have for people wearing swimming attire all summer long. I like wearing as little as possible during these hot Summer days. I'm not saying I'm showing anything that people would find offensive. I'm just talking wearing short shorts, a tank-top, or maybe wearing a swimsuit with a cover-up dress over top it. This is the kind of attire I'm used to wearing on the Summer months at the beach and I would really like to do the same here in Baltimore without feeling self-conscience. The only reason I feel that way here is because we live on a relatively busy road and guys have stopped to talk to me in creepy tones while I'm working in the garden or they yell remarks from their cars. I just don't get that, this is our property I should feel comfortable walking outside with a summer dress on. I like the freedom you feel in Myrtle Beach, where doing this is accepted and everyone else is wearing the same kind of clothes. I like feeling comfortable without restrictions. I also love wearing sandals everywhere and this is a doable thing here. I prefer no shoes at all, but since this is the city I know that's hard to do and pretty dangerous. I do hope to live someway one day that is more relaxed in it's wardrobe mandates. Maybe North Carolina, I love it there, but I'll save that for another entry.
