Hotter than........

.....a gringo's ass after eatin mexican buffet. hehehehe Okay it is officially hot hot hot here. Arizona is having heat advisories, and record breaking heat all over the state for the next week or so. It's been 100 degree's here. That's hot for my little po dunk town. And in Arizona it's not just hot, it's the dry, cook your brain kind of hot. You know when you step outside and you can hear your brain sizzling like a fried egg. Where you can get third degree burns opening your car door. That kind of hot. I love Arizona, I really really do. I'm just not fond of the 100 degree weather for a couple months each year. I sit inside directly in front of the a/c vent. Children don't play outside till after the sun goes down. It's impossible to dress up and stay looking nice and cool if you have to step outside for longer than 28.3 seconds. I kid you not. Your makeup melts off, you have sweat all over, underarm wing, and your hair will be wet. Not to mention even if you wear perfume, you then begin to smell, and it only get's worse through the day. I think all us Arizonan's are used to each other. hehehehe

Here are a few reasons I'm not fond of the hot hot hottadie hot heat. First of all, I swell up in the heat. My feet, ankles, my fingers, hands and wrists, just my entire body. I look and feel like "Bloat" that blowfish in finding nemo.. POOF uht oh Second, I own shorts and capri pants, but will only wear them around the house. For two reasons. I have that lower extremity Lymphodema, my lower legs are huge with the swelling in them. So part of it is that I'm to self conscious to show my legs, but also I'm really afraid to get them sun burned, so I wear long pants even in the summer. Also I can't wear the cute little sandals or thongs, or go bare foot, because with my leg problems if I'm not securely strapped into a closed toe shoe, my feet and ankles swell to the point I can't walk. So...I wear socks and tennies all summer too. I do wear way baggy sleeveless henly t-shirts. Even though my bye bye arm shows. (you know that under side of your upper arm that when you raise your arm to wave at someone it waves also. "bye bye") I will put up with that showing, but not with what shows in my spaghetti strap tops. I wear spaghetti strap tank tops around the house, but since they are snug, I won't wear them out, cuz I look like the Michelin Man. hehehehee One other thing I hate about the hot summers in Arizona, is how much you sweat. You sweat out of every single pore of your body. Even between your fingers and toes, behind your ears, and in your belly button. And when you sweat in Arizona, after you go back in side and cool down and dry off, you then look like you have been dunked in McDonalds french fry frier. You look all greasy, your hair, face, skin. Looks like you rolled around in oil. It's gross I tell ya. hehehehe

Anyhow enough bitching. I almost dread going out to go pick up the kiddo. It's 2:30 when I go, right getting in the high point of the day in Arizona. I should be all sweaty and cranky when I get home. Gosh I don't know how hot it is in Texas where Alekx lives. I wonder if the humidity is gonna kill us. Scary thoughts.

Well I think I am gonna take the kiddo to the movie for tomorrow's matinee. It's Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. Hope he isn't bored out of his skull, hope it has some good action in it.

Happy Friday every one. Stay Cool, and stay hydrated!!!!!
