| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i'm much too young for this nostalgia I have a ton of work today but I'm feeling really nostalgic. I think it's the return of summer. The sun. The heat. The warmth on my skin. Tonight I want to go over to the new house and water the flowers and let the new-ness of it all soak in. I want to feel this place in the summer because then I will truly feel like it's mine. I want some good things. I want to get ice cream cones. I want a drive out to nowhere. I want to play the stereo really loud. I want cool early mornings that will burn off into almost unbearably hot afternoons. I want beer over ice with lemons. I want frozen raspberries. I want an afternoon nap with GB that might turn into something else. I want the cool open breeze through the window when I sleep. I just want summer. I'm a winter girl at heart but there's still something about summer that makes me happy. And, perhaps it's strange to say but I associate that feeling with GB. We met while it was still winter but we moved in together a few weekends before the start of summer and memories from that first hot season together are still some of my favorite: sleeping on the living room floor during those stifling August nights because we'd yet to figure out how to adequately cool off our air-conditioner deprived house; walking down to the ice cream parlor -even that time I dropped my double scoop strawberry-chocolate; the concerts down at the river; the hottest night of the year at the club's biggest show of the year = too much body heat; bbq's at friends' houses; Gigi's wedding and getting drop-dead drunk at the reception and dancing (badly) to Abba; the housewarming party with me in my blue dress and him in his Western shirt and us posing in cowboy hats for goofy pictures; the State Fair photobooth strips; lying in bed on a Saturday afternoon and listening to the stillness of everything.
