Hot

Is it pathetic that I have been trying to rush this morning (an every morning lately) to get out and run errands before the heat of the day sets in? I just caught myself looking nervously at the clock, it said 7:45am and I was like, I have got to jam! It is going to be yucky out already!

I found this online.
  • you no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water.
  • you can say 113 degrees without fainting.
  • you learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron.
  • the temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly.
  • you've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl.
  • you would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face.
  • you discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.
  • you discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window.
  • you notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
  • hot water now comes out of both taps.
  • it's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets.
  • you actually burn your hand opening the car door.
  • you break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. before work.
  • no one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning.
  • your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
  • you realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
I didn't even laugh at these, I just nodded and thought, yep.

How about...You think someone driving while wearing oven mitts is clever or... You notice your car overheating before you drive it or... You experience third degree burns if you touch any metal part of your car or.... You can fry an egg on the hood of a car in the morning or....You know hot air balloons can't rise because the air temperature is hotter than the air inside the balloon ... and finally for Alli in particular ... You feed your chickens ice cubes to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs. ;)

Seriously, I got back from running around and went straight for the freezer so I could read blogs and have some frozen corn in my armpit or on my neck or in my lap. . . aaaahhh.

My biggest problem with the heat is that I get so used to it I freeze when I'm in the house (my computer is directly in the way of the ac register) so I usually end up wearing a sweater. I feel like a pretty big idiot when I walk outside still wearing it!
