HAPPY MONDAY
"Yes Allô secretariat lemonade studio speaking! - It's back to school... - Oh impossible, I've got as many dark circles as in May..."
No, that's not true! If I've got dark circles, it's because of this ridiculous heatwave! It was polar weather until July, and then when summer arrived, it was like a pressure cooker. I don't want to complain, but when will we find a little middle ground? If you pray too hard to the heavens for sexy weather, you end up with thighs that fuse with the imitation leather of your office chairs. We have to be careful what we ask of the heavens. Let's be moderate, and demand a temperate climate, rather than begging for it to be too hot and sunny... It's all a question of nuance! Be careful what you ask for, really, it could happen...
What if we moved the summer vacations to August and September? Would it be more appropriate to open Christmas presents on January 24? As far as I'm concerned, that's just fine, and I'm taking advantage of the opportunity to extend my midsummer looks for another month. For goodness' sake, I'd like to post a look for you on a Monday, a summer dress that you can calm down with a silk scarf in your hair to chicen up the lace, with a pink teddy on your shoulders and a pair of pastel blue espadrilles. A real sweetheart, but I told you I wanted to take it easy...
Well, let's not talk too much! It's back-to-school time for some of you today, while others are still lounging around, but let's be clear: over the past month, even if our brains have been in slow motion, I'm sure you've been doing a lot of thinking, between 2 glasses of rosé. You've probably thought that you should make tomato salads more often, leave the kids at least one evening a week, take time for yourself, have weekends off once in a while, read a book a week, walk more etc... Right? Well, now's the time not to lose sight of your little goals under the 1,436 unopened vacation e-mails. Stay calm, it's just the beginning.
As for me, I've got some easy goals: going to the gym more regularly, having a real weekend day and going out at least once a week to try out new places with my lover, easy, I'm not setting the bar too high. The good thing about September's resolutions is that they only last for 4 months, until the new ones come out in January... So we're going for it, pumped up, the weather's still too nice and (too) warm, everything's going to be fine! And rather than feel like throwing yourself out the window at the thought of restarting the office coffee machine, take a leaf out of every other year's book and have some fun! Smile, it's back to school!
