We are halfway done with summer…actually, more than halfway done. We’ve had some great weather (here in Chicago) as well as some not-so-great weather. Some pretty horrible storms, but also some days where you wake up and realize just how happy you are to be alive and live in Chicago…best city in the world. There’s something about summer, with tanned skin, lightened hair, sunshine, rainbows when it rains, outdoor activities, BBQ’s with friends, Cubs games, that makes it really unbecoming to complain about summer. In the winter we can complain about the cold, the ice on the roads, the lack of sunshine, the grumpiness of those who are stuck inside, that make it more acceptable to complain. Though, it’s not always becoming to complain, but it does happen. So, I was tickled when someone sent me this article, which was from last year about the 10 Worst Things About Summer. 🙂
Enjoy! My comments in RED.
10 Worst Things About Summer from Pure Wow
Have you ever noticed that it’s totally socially unacceptable to complain about summer? (It’s like saying you hate puppies…or Beyoncé.) Well, here at PureWow, we’re all about breaking taboos. Presenting, the ten worst things about everyone else’s favorite season. I think Kate Middleton is so much more interesting and much more beautiful than Beyonce. Of course Beyonce is lovely and talented, but all this “breaking the internet”? I don’t get it.
1. Sitting on a city bench in really short shorts. Or sitting anywhere on a Bleacher.
2. Your coworker who’s trying natural deodorant. I have Never understood the obsession with “natural deodorant”. Which is an oxymoron, btw.
3. Firing up the grill and realizing you’re out of propane. This has happened to us numerous times. We solved this problem by forking out the cash to own 2 Propanes. Then realized one Propane had the wrong attachment, so we couldn’t use it. $60 down the drain, or taken to the land of Propanes that no longer work.
4. Hot-dog legs. The 2013’s called, they want these stupid pictures back.
5. Discovering that “rustic cabana” means “unair-conditioned”. Un airconditioned is the worst phrase, ever.
6. That spot you missed on your lower back. Tanning beds are Not good for you…
7. Walking outside and immediately getting pit stains. Light blue shirts (or dresses) are the absolute worst!
8. Beach traffic. Cubs traffic.
9. Water parks. John Pinette’s bit on water parks, is one of the funniest comedic skits, ever.
10. The sound of the ice cream truck. (Admit it: It’s driving you to an early grave.) I was leaving a fabulous event, given by Loews Hotels, and there was a Good Humor truck outside the hotel. Nothing says Summer like an ice cream truck. I don’t think one has ever been on Polo Dr. #FirstWorldProblems
