Too. Hot.

Man, it's just stinkin' hot here. I think it got to 105 today! All I can say is, I'm melting!

We tried to beat the heat by going to the beach today, but I forgot the sunscreen so we only stayed for an hour (and Ryan still got a burn!, boy do I feel bad now!). Later, after resting on the couch for a bit and watching a little of the Olympic trials for mens gymnastics, MaeLeb and I went to the pool for about 2 hours. I think we will all sleep well tonight. It may have been a record going-to-sleep for those ones tonight!

I tried to find a great 'I'm melting' clip from The Wizard of Oz on YouTube to describe how miserably hot it is here. But there wasn't one to be found (well, not good enough for my blogging standards anyway, whatever that means!). So I'll just leave you with this......in your minds eye, recall the scene with Dorothy and her friends in the Wicked Witch of the West's castle and she has just thrown the bucket of water on the witch. Then the camera follows the Ms. West as she descends into the floor saying....I'm melting, I'm melting, I'm melting....

That. My friends, is how I feel in this yucky, terrible, no-good heat.

But I thank the Lord for allowing man to invent air conditioning!

seriously!! THis is killer heat. WE don't run the AC becuase it would cost a fortune to cool this house down. So, we're really melting here. Here's to hoping for a summer in the 80's.

I thank the Lord for air conditioning too... I'm a huge wimp though. It's only been in the 80's here and I've been complaining! lol
