Friday Fav - Summer in the City

Happy Friday!!! It seems like it's been forever and a day since I posted one of these bad boys, but with my mom in town last week there was no chance I was going to step near a computer.

This past week has been full of all sorts of stories:
1) The humidity has officially landed in Baltimore - Homegirl is not happy.
2) I saw a dead turtle on the side of the road :( First, I didn't know turtles lived in Maryland (just found out the mascot of University of Maryland through this). Second, who the eff ran him/her over...ugh.
3) I landed a part-time gig and I couldn't be more excited (hopefully this means I'll have more pesos in my pocket to save).
4) Mike has been gone alllllllllll week. I've harassed him allllllllllll week long with pointless texts just cause I'm missing him and not sure how we/I managed long-distance.
5) I'm not so sure about this season's Bachelorette. So I love Emily. Annoyed by Ricki. Not impressed by this season's pick of guys. Chris isn't funny and his role on the Muppet episode was painful. Want to barf looking at Kalon's glossy lips. Need ABC to get out of Charlotte and whisk away to the Caribbean.

With a busy week behind me and the holiday weekend ahead, what is today's Friday Fav all about? Summer in the City! Yup, Memorial Day weekend is my kick-off for summer, and I couldn't be happier! Not only is it going to be blazing hot all weekend, but I've finally got myself a grill (well a George Foreman grill), my mom gifted me the most beautiful new bike, I won't look as foolish anymore sporting neon pink nails, I allow myself to eat ice cream whenever my heart desires, my hair dries 5 minutes post-shower meaning I can tuck the blow-dryer under the cabinet, and lucky for me I live 15 minutes from the harbor and 3 hours from the beach!

Summer meet your new best friend ... Me!
