Welcome to the World According to Carrie Neal!

A Worldview Defined: Carrie Neal Land

Where intelligence and fashionista-common-sense have equal footing, good champagne and cocktail napkins are always on hand, women ages 25 to 35 may vote based on taxes and national defense instead of Roe v. Wade scare tactics, and working hard and being a favorite regular are both esteemed art forms. Kisses that leave a girl breathless are the national lottery jackpot, and adorable dogs who know how to behave in designer handbags are expected.

Ah, Summer
 
This weekend has been so gorgeous that it's just made me summer-happy. Walking across the street to dinner. Wearing jeans, a tee and flip-flops (and then happily finding yourself sitting outside with a beer enjoying an unexpectedly cooler evening for July!). Sherbert. Barbeque. So many good things! So, since I'm loathe to take down last week's Top Ten Foodie List, Big and I decided to do an abbreviated version here . . . a quick list of 10 special summer things (most enjoyed just in the past couple days!). What's on your list?
 
1 . . . BBQ - try the pulled pork sandwich from Pig-N-Chik (they deliver!).
2 . . . DQ Blizzards - a childhood favorite you never outgrow.
3 . . . Starlight Drive-In - $7 tickets to a double feature can't be beat!
4 . . . Orange (or whatever flavor you like) sherbert from Baskin Robbins.
5 . . . Unexpectedly pleasant, just slightly coolish evenings in mid-summer.
6 . . . Sitting on a patio on just such an evening.
7 . . . Ponytails, whether you're dressing up or down.
8 . . . Cold beer. So what if it's PBR instead of Newcastle these days?
9 . . . Canteloupe, peaches and strawberries.
10 . . . Flip-flops - worn with anything, or everything!
 
Ah, summer . . . my most favorite time of the year!
