today was the first day that it really felt like Summer 2010 in the City. it's been hot prior but today all of the factors that equal New York City summer day happened on July 17th.
The factors being:
1. running both A/C units at the same time for more than an hour
2. a sweat droplet running down my back after taking a shower
3. bought two bottles of water within 3 hours of each other
4. saw five different tour groups wearing fanny packs on fifth avenue
5. street fair vendors selling meat on a stick and fruit slabs in a cup
6. women wearing gladiator sandals with bright neon pink toe nail polish
7. happily spent over $80 on a manicure/pedicure (plan to do it again and again)
8. parasols out in force
9. summer sale signs in store windows up and down madison and fifth avenue
10. movie blockbuster saturday afternoon showtime of 3:40pm sold out
i love summer. love the extra daylight hours, celebrating my birthday, hop aboard the bandwagon of trying to become "tan", us open & wimbledon action, summer movie blockbusters, the beach, eating strawberry shortcake & watermelon (not necessarily together), capri pants, flip flops & t-shirts, weekend road/train trips, concert in outdoor ampitheaters, and so you think you can dance. i am always so glad to see summer arrive and generally am okay to say farewell when that time comes around.

Saying farewell when you have AMAZING NYC falls makes it easier. That little nip in the air is so lovely and I still miss that every year. But, I too love summer. I especially like it when your summer includes a stop over in CA!
