colorado summer

the summer is officially here in colorado, and i love L O V E it! i'm much more of a warm weather girl than a cold weather girl. so the 4 months that colorado gets of warm weather, i eat it up and enjoy every minute! starting with yesterday. i lounged at the pool yesterday afternoon at my gym's outdoor pool, and it was so nice! taking a dip, cooling off, then sun tanning while reading my book. it was heaven! i even got a little color. some brown on my skin looks fabulous!
when i was younger i got dark, and not just dark, i would get dark fast! i could lay out once and be perfectly tan. as i've gotten older i've become fairer skinned, and tanning is a lot more difficult than what it once was. so if their is a sign of some hot sun i try to make it outside to soak it up.
as i was driving to the pool yesterday afternoon it was a little bit cloudy and little bit windy and only 80*. if i'm going to lay out i like it to be hot, like 90* plus hot. so i was a little discouraged, but by the time i got to the pool i could tell it was warmer. that's the one thing about colorado summers i don't like. they are so extreme. extreme rain, wind, hail, sun, cold, all of the above could happen all in the same day. sometimes all in the same hour. so i truly appreciated that the weather warmed up and i was able to enjoy my time poolside. last summer was a cool summer, and i'm hoping this summer is the opposite, so i enjoy the pool a little bit more.
if only i got a summer break and could be outside everyday! this whole adult having a full time job thing just seems to get in the way sometimes! :)
