My day in pictures

I live in mild, temperate not-quite-Seattle. I really love summer and the sun and crave this time of year. I know it's much hotter in other parts of the world (Lindsey, no need to mention your 110 or whatever it was today) but the thing that sets not-quite-Seattle apart from CA, AZ and UT is that 85% of us don't have air conditioning in our homes.

So here is my day in pictures. Please note the top number is the outdoor temperature, the next line is the indoor temperature and the third line is the time of day.

So here is the 8:30 AM photo:


Here's what it was like at 12 noon, just prior to drying my hair. No, it was not a pretty sight.

Here is what I came home to after church:

And finally, here is what it's like now...just before bedtime:

So really, the only thing you can do when your home is basically an oven is (a) eat popsicles, (b) drink Minute Maid Light Limeade and (c) watch the America's Next Top Model cycle 6 marathon you tivo'd just before leaving for church (don't judge.)

Even then, you're still stinkin' hot. And not in the way you want to be.

AMEN SISTAH! When I looked at my little thermometer around 5pm, it said 83 inside and out. That's when I said, "IT'S TOO DANG HOT!" and then shut all the doors and turned on my little A/C!!!! I'm not sure if I really wanna come visit WA if it's gonna be that hot!
