I have been struggling with a new blog post….. Well, maybe more like slacking instead of struggling. I have four different drafts going, but I always seem to get pulled away from the computer right when I start getting into them. I blame it on summer. So, when I was recently “tagged” in a summertime meme, it seemed appropriate. This meme was started by Larissa Fair and has made its way around to some very cool people. ( Kait Swanson, Sarah Wurrey, Maddie Grant and Amanda Gravel-to name a few!) It’s interesting to learn more about people I follow on Twitter, or don’t follow (and now do)… all because of their answers to this meme! Enjoy!
4 Things You Like About Summer
1. Baseball. And lots of it. Now, if only the Tribe could win some games! 😦
2. Ice cream stands!
3. More hours of daylight
4. Swimming. Note to self: must invest in a swimming pool when I purchase first home.
4 of Your Favorite Vacation Destinations
1. Cincinnati… that works out pretty well since I am now living there 🙂
2. NYC
3. Put-in-Bay/Port Clinton – it doesn’t get any better than drinking some beers on the lake with old friends
4. I agree with Miss Swanson on this last one… undoubtedly, some friend’s wedding location. (I will be attending 11 weddings this year… )
4 of Your Favorite Summer Foods
1. Ballpark hot dogs with stadium mustard
2. Lemonade… Mmmm mmmmm
3. Ice cream (preferably Aglamesis Bros. )
4. Corn on the cob
4 Concerts Not to Miss
1. Kenny Chesney (Sarah, we need to plan this!)
2. Journey (with the new YouTube sensation lead singer )
3. Dave Matthews Band (as long as its not ridiculously humid like last year at Riverbend)
4. O.A.R.
4 Things to Avoid in the Summer
1. Falling asleep in the sun without sunscreen ( Trust me, it’s never a good idea. Just ask my sunburnt/ swollen shut eyes about it )
2. Staying indoors
3. Dehydration. (esp. when alcohol is involved)
4. Large quantities of sweaty people– Ewww!
Okay, now it’s tagging time. There seems to be a lot of ladies passing this meme along, so I am going to include some fellas in the mix! Tag, you’re it:
Paull Young ( it would be interesting to hear an Aussie point of view on this)
Doctor Anonymous ( miss you! We all need to hang out again soon!!)
Slacking doesnt’ beging to describe what I’ve been doing with my blog. I understand the feeling. I just wanted to stop by and remind you that Griffey has 604 home runs as of now.

See you soon.

Paull’s officially been tagged twice now, I tagged him too. We should continue to hound him until he relents. You hear me Paull? The beatings will continue until morale improves!
Thanks for the link love! : )
Yay thanks for playing! 🙂 I love all your summer food mmmm
yay for summer and yay for stadium mustard! awesome!
RAWK!
Hey, Abby. I’ve been ignoring the blog for nearly a month now, and only today checked the stats page and found your challenge. Now I’ll let you in on a little secret: I don’t do memes. It’s nothing personal, as I have learned a good bit about bloggers by reading their responses to memes, like the fact that Paull Young once broke his leg skiing (or was it snowboarding) down the stairs and onto the porch of his college house.
But I made the decision early on not to use memes — my little protest against link love and the incestuous “blog party” of which (thankfully) you are not a part.
However, since you are a loyal PRKenter and one of my favorite grads ever, I will let you in on a few of my secrets here:
4 Things You Like About Summer: Beer, baseball, bass fishin’ and more beer.
4 of Your Favorite Vacation Destinations: Lake Superior, the Northern Rockies, the (upper) Clarion River (Pa.), my backyard.
4 Things to Avoid in the Summer: Rednecks (common to all locations listed above), mosquitoes, Dave Matthews concerts (gag), and work of any kind (mental or physical).
Have a great second half of the summer, and best of luck in Cincinnati, a place I have dubbed “the city of no humor.” I suspect you can change that!
It’s amazing
