It is 84 degrees outside.
I finally I have my summer plans figured out.
I just had my second meeting for my summer England trip.
I unpacked some of my summer clothes --- and then ached to go shop for tons more.
I just bought a new pair of black, strappy flat sandals.
Currently, I am sitting outside under the beautiful sunshine on the green lawn with some of my hallmates. Due to the perfection of the day, we decided to take advantage of it.
Yes, folks, summer is vastly approaching.
So, to commemorate the end of the semester and the start of a new, glorious season, I am posting my summer "lists."

Dest, I LOVE this post. You have so much spunk and I can't wait for you to move back home for the summer. Love your song list, I am sure I will hear these songs repeatingly in the next few weeks.
