Not hating, Just stating…

First of all, I want to clarify that I am an educated woman, so the misspelling and improper grammar of the title and blog is purposeful. Whenever my girls and I get angry or disgruntled we use improper or broken English to get our point across. So get over it!

This summer has been lackluster. Few cookouts, house parties, gatherings. Just borin. There was a point in time when my friends and I had gone to 3 cookouts in one day. We made an entire loop around the beltway. From Largo we went out Branch Ave., from there we went to Alexandria, from there we went to Silver Spring. then decided from there to just keep heading in the same direction instead of revisiting all the exits we had been by already. This was back when gas was 2 fiddy and it was still fun to meet & talk to new boys.  How long ago was THAT, right?

This summer it has been hard for me to come up with 2 weekends in a row that have things going on that I feel like I want to go to, let alone several things in on ONE day. I have been to maybe 2 good cookouts this summer. Maybe I am old, but really gas prices seem to be ruining my social life. I want to see and be seen, but it’s hard to do so when the people, places and things I want to see and be seen with, in, around, etc. are few and far between. I haven’t been really MOVED by many events because no oe is really doing anything intimate enough or innovative enough.

The cookout I attended today was foiled by my mom’s shenanigans. The food was ON POINT. But my mom SUCKED all the fun out of it & the folks were very YOUNG. The 3 things you need for a quality cookout are: food, folks and fun! I cannot wait until my friends August event because that always has all three. But until then, there is nothing I am looking forward to, nothing that I MUST attend. 2 of the three events I most look forward to have come & gone and all I remember about the first one is …. is… hmmm… gettin numbers?  Wow am I in 10th grade? The second one had amazing food and strawberry acai Smirnoff Ices! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Well, all in all, this summer lacks quality fun! Just me & my girls around a table of food or drinks in a location where we feel welcome to talk about anyone who walks by and meeting new people to joke with & passively entertain. Is that too much to ask?

I guess so!
