Karma Police… They’ll Get You

So here’s what happens when you complain about it being 108 degrees outside: it’s 111 degrees for three days in a row.  And your air conditioner breaks.  At the beginning of a three-day weekend.

Is it possible for people to literally melt?   I think it’s possible.

 

(Don’t worry – because I know you were so worried – we have someplace else to stay.  As for your smug “I told you so”–   hmph.  Whatever.)

School’s Out For Summer

Today was the much-anticipated last day of school.   The Evil Monkeys have been beside  themselves waiting to have some summer fun.  I’m slightly more, shall we say, ambivalent.

As of RIGHT NOW (7:17 pm) it is:

When’s the first day of summer again?  Because if the last day of school is ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT DEGREES AT SEVEN P.M., I really really don’t want to be here when it’s actually summer.

 

On the upside, I think I just sweated off five extra pounds simply having dinner on the poolside patio at my parents’ country club.  Which totally makes up for having to, y’know, have dinner on a poolside patio at a country club. When it’s ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT DEGREES OUTSIDE.

Sheesh.

‘Course, it snowed last night at my sister’s place.  I guess it could be worse.  Maybe.

What’s your weather like today?

A Royal Meeting Of The Minds.

So this photo has popped up on multiple news pages that have randomly floated across my desktop today.  I’m getting a little tired of it, actually:

Here’s what’s probably going on in this photo:

And then there’s what goes on in my mind:

  I get bored easily.
