My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Okay, I haven’t officially shared my annual "I Hate Summer Because I Hate To Be Hot" post yet, so here it is…..
Actually, it hasn’t been too-too bad this summer up until last week. Friday, the heat index reached a WHOPPING 115 degrees, and the humidity was so THICK I needed an oxygen tank and nitroglycerin to stay alive.
And can I just tell you something?
I was in so much physical pain, I would have almost rather been eaten alive by Hannibal Lecter.
The city was like a flaming furnace - my skin felt as if it was literally on fire!
Now I know how my cousins’ Barbie doll felt when I tried to cram her into an Easy-Bake Oven to see if she would bake into a cookie.
I'll tell ya, Barbie doll karma payback is a bitch!
As I was strolling down the streets on Friday, there wasn’t a single soul walking who wasn’t dripping in sweat and GROANING. I could even hear pedestrians on their cell phones, pleading, “I can’t believe how hot it is….I DYING!”
I finally got some relief when I walked into Barnes & Noble and bogarted their A/C by grabbing something to eat and drink in their café. I selected a few books off the shelf and then sat myself on the floor in a cool and secluded corner of the store.
Aaaaaaah!
However, my cool seclusion didn’t last too long because I was sitting by the restroom doors watching countless sweaty people walking by; using the bathroom sink to take a sponge bath.
I kid you not!
Anyhow, I hate this heat more than I hate eating Brussels sprouts, liver, or cilantro. I'm someone who is naturally energetic, but the heat just wipes that out of me. I can’t wait until the fall gets here so I can wear my turtlenecks and jackets, and not have to consume 100 gallons of water everyday so I can replenish all the H2O I’ve sweated out of body. I feel like an unquenchable CAMEL!
Look, I don’t mind sweating but I would rather it be from doing the nasty with Tom Ford, then from this heinous summer heat.
I would like to conclude this post by sharing a short video I created last weekend.
This is the first time I’ve created a video using my new camera and Windows Movie Maker. And holy cow....what a looooooong learning experience that was - YIKES!
Without further ado, I give you….Hot Summer In Philly!
Stay COOL, peeps!
