Cooling Effect~

During lunch break yesterday, I rushed to the nearest discount store to purchase
a pair of cool summer shorts! The temperature is supposed to rise yet again today ~eeeck!
Needing all the cooling effects I can get!
Anywayyy...
" who would rather be in these beautiful places today? "
~take a look :

yup, I raised me-hand!!
" Don't forget to bring the suntan lotion darrrlingsss..."

  5. I get dibs on the hammock! That's where I want to be. Up off the sand and not surrounded by hundreds of sweaty, sun-tan lotioned others. Not that I'm anti-social, I just prefer my own company!!!
