🥳 I'm glad! @CorgiMommy I'm right with you, these are such a good time. 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you so much for making this thread! @greeneyedgirl107 they are one of my favorites here on BIC 💖🙏

Let's start thinking summer! 

7/4: Favorite flavors of ice cream?

Mint Chip or something sinfully chocolatey 😉

7/5: Favorite place to go swimming: ocean, lake, pool...?

Definitely the lake! 🌊 

7/6: Favorite summer song?

That's tough, something fun and bright. Right now, California Girls by Katy Perry is coming to mind. 🌞

7/7: If you could have a summer job, what would it be?

I have one lol serving coffee. ☕ My work closes for the summer so I get to try something different summer. 🏝️

7/8: Ideal summer fashion?

Sandals are a must, and my shorts with a breezy top. 👌

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu It is neat that you can try new jobs during the summer! I want to find another job to keep me busy.

[CynthieLu]

I stress a little trying to secure the summer job @Mellmars1185 and hope they put up with my planned vacations too 🙈 but serving coffee this summer so far has been a fun one. 

I'm headed to the cottage for 2 weeks pretty soon, I can't wait! 

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu I can imagine the unknown can be stressful for sure. You did it! That is amazing. I admire your drive. Ooo a two week cottage vacation sounds like a wonderful way to relax and reset.

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu fabulous song choice

[CynthieLu]

It has a pretty fun vibe to it @CorgiMommy 🏝️🥳 thank you!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CynthieLu thanks!  I need to finish it up with italics, pics, etc!

[CynthieLu]

Ooooh I just saw your photo update @greeneyedgirl107 I love the icecream 🤩 Now those are some scoops!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CynthieLu yummm!

[Loretta55]

I feel like everyone is looking at my thunder thighs @CynthieLu when I am wearing shorts. That is the fun of having a pear shaped body. Hopefully you can find a job at a coffee shop this summer. 

[CynthieLu]

I think no one is looking at us as closely as we think or feel @Loretta55 and if they are, don't worry about them. Life is to short and so is summer. Enjoy shorts with us! 💓💓💓

[Loretta55]

I’m wearing them today @CynthieLu. I realize that we are our own’s worst critics. I agree that summer is too short but I don’t remember temperatures as warm in the past.

[peculiarzmakeup]

Mint chocolate chip is great fave @CynthieLu 

as soon as I read California girls I started singing it in my head, this is such a fun thread! 

[CynthieLu]

It's a good little summer anthem 🌊🌞 @peculiarzmakeup thou I'm sorry to get it stuck in your head. 😉

Right? These threads are fun to play along with everyone. I'm so happy @greeneyedgirl107 put this together for us! 🙏 💞

[peculiarzmakeup]

If it gets stuck in my head it’s because I really enjoy it 🙂 lots of good memories, 😊 @CynthieLu 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CynthieLu thanks SO much!  I enjoyed it but the best part was hearing that others are enjoying it.  I already have ideas for the winter holiday thread!

[Loretta55]

I miss these surveys @greeneyedgirl107. I will try to answer as many questions as I can.

7/4 Depending on my mood I enjoy mint chocolate chip, anything peanut butter and a good vanilla ice cream.

7/5 I have not gone swimming lately but I always prefer a pool. I feel uncomfortable in the ocean.

7/6 Under the Boardwalk always reminds me of summer.

7/7 When I was younger I wanted to work at an amusement park.

7/8 My favorite summer fashion is a colorful maxi dress.

[Mellmars1185]

@Loretta55 Ohhh peanut butter ice cream 🍦 sounds perfect right now.

[CorgiMommy]

@Loretta55 love a good maxi dress too

[peculiarzmakeup]

I love these answers that’s so neat about the amusement park 💕 @Loretta55
