Do you know the most annoying question ever? Here it is: "Is it hot enough for ya?" I hate it. I hate it when people ask me that. I realize that they are probably just trying to be friendly, or maybe they don't know how else to start a conversation, but come on. Don't ask if it's hot enough for me. I have never enjoyed temperatures higher than say, 75. It is certainly too hot when the thermostat registers 89 degrees at 8:00 at night.
I lived in Central Texas for three years. It is hot in Texas nine months out of the year. Stinkin' hot. I used to iron my clothes and then set them neatly in the freezer to cool before I would dress.
When I was nine months gestational with Miss. M., in Texas, during August, our air conditioner broke. It made me cranky. Real cranky. I also happened to be at height of the "nesting mode". The only relief I could find was to clean the showers with the cold water spraying down on me. Miss. M was born a few days later.
I'm not the only one who is cranky tonight. My kids are short tempered. Scott is gruff. The dogs are growling at each other and Magnus (our new grey kitty) doesn't want to play.
Do you enjoy sweat rolling out of every possible pore? I don't. So I will now go clean my shower and hope this crankiness washes off of me along with all the perspiration!

Well...is it?
I'm with you - that's why I moved to Washington - to get away from the heat! Today, my eyeballs were hot. I was a little whiny to my sister who lives in Fresno, CA - she said "Don't EVEN talk to me about hot. I'm thankful today is only 108 - yesterday was 113." Well, alright then - :)
Hot doesn't really describe how it was on the hottest day ever! Dozer stayed under the house for days and poor Ruby was a large ball of black fur that wouldn't move off the bathroom floor! I think she misses Magnus!!! And for once!! I wasn't anxious to get off work. Even considered sleeping in my nice air conditioned office!
