First Thursday in June

I've lately found myself listening to the song "Leave Your Boyfriends Behind" by Leona Naess. It's stuck with me since I first heard it on the season finale of Cougar Town a few weeks back. Here's a YouTube link:
Leona Naess--Leave Your Boyfriends Behind. Give it a listen, and see if it doesn't become part of your personal summer soundtrack.

I'm enthralled by the soulful beauty of Naess's voice and how the music video is a perfect accompaniment to the mood of the lyrics: at once playful, evocative of summer soirees, tinged with the melancholy joy of nights spent with friends during one's late 20s and early 30-something years.

I, for one, will keep "pretend[ing] we've got ages 'til the sun comes along..."
