You are loved. You are loved now.
I can bring you an iced latte on Wednesday. Did you get my email?
1. 103F at 10am and no, I do not know it in C becuase I am a lazy american
2. Dizzy. Naseous. The heat is so bad I get a sick headache just going outside. But atleast I don’t have crushing humidity…yet.
3. I would either be: hiking in Tahoe to a luxurous hidden lake and basking in the coolness or sitting in a cafe in Spain sipping cold bottled water and loving my life.
4. Depends. Do you even have air conditioning? If you don’t that will make the fumes from the stain hover and stick to you like glue. You will wind up hating life.
5. If I were even near Canada I totally would.
6. BECAUSE I LIVE IN RENO.
7. BECAUSE I SERIOUSLY DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY, OR ANY MONEY FOR THAT MATTER, TO FLY UP THERE AND BRING IT TO YOU.
8. I don’t know. I think it might burn.
9. Wear your hair up in a bun at night because come winter when it is negative degrees outside and all you have is a sparse half inch of peach fuzz covering your head you will be sad. Or not. You could spike it all out and wear hats.
10. I love you but not in that way. And I dare you to overly warm my vicinity. You would pass out just trying to make it here.
1 – Techinically 84, but “feels like” 88. According to me, it feels like 94.
2 – It makes me feel very crabby.
3 – On the beach, with a very cold drink, people watching, reading a trashy novel, contemplating whether to swim or nap, and making plans with husband over where to eat (out, with wine) dinner.
4 – Shelves? Sweat and rosewood stain, not pretty.
5 – No, sorry.
6 – I am at work and I refuse to leave the A/C unless there is a swim in it for me.
7 – Because it is hot enough to make my feet sweat. Feet sweat, also not pretty.
8- No, try spritzing the sheets with water and using a fan. Dont they have Air conditioning up there?
9 – I am trying to think of a good reason to not cut all of mine off as well.
10 – It is WAY too hot for that right now.
I live by the beach. I pay extra for the beach. I get a nice cool breeze from the ocean. Right? Wrong? The house is an evil sweatbox.
This is refresing:
Minty lime cooler
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
a big handful of mint
3 Tbsp sugar or more to taste
Blend like hell in a blender for 3-5 minutes (really. You want the mint pulverized). Pour over ice in 2 glasses. Add soda water (12 oz) to fill.
It’s been hot here in Sweden, but we were gone and missed the worst (I hope). Today it’s been 27C which is really warm, but we’ve had a lovely cool breeze and NO HUMIDITY. I hate humidity with the passion of 1000-white-hot-suns so I totally feel your pain (lived in the midwest, been there done that).
I have no idea how hot it is now. I’ve given up. I haven’t slept in 24 hours. I’m sitting in the basement and I keep looking over at my heater to confirm it’s not plugged in, that’s how hot it is. It’s so hot I’m actually looking forward to having dental work done tomorrow because THEY HAVE AIR CONDITIONING.
1. 89 F or 31.2 C with 40% humidity. yuck.
2. I hate hot weather. I really hate hot, humid weather. I wanna move back to Seattle when the heat is like this.
3.I’d be camping in the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. It should be nice and cool out there by the coast. And the rainforest is beautiful.
4.No, no, no. No staining anything but the pits of your tee shirt on days like today. Even that, if it can be avoided, it should.
5.No, due to your location, but I will drink one in honour of you!
6.I’m in Chicago and I only have a bicycle.
7.IM IN CHICAGO!
8. Eww. No. Stinky. Put a wet washcloth in the freezer to put on your face. Take a cold bath right bfore bed. Curse the gods.
9. I am also in the market for chic new hair.
Summer+heat=permanent ponytail, which is why I also want to shave it all off. Gotta stay strong.
10. Sending cool, cool, icy thoughts to you up there.
1. At the moment, 85F. But it has cooled down significantly since last week and is less humid.
2. So I am grateful.
3. I would be at the beach. No, I would be IN the ocean.
4. No. Absolutely not. It won’t dry anyway.
5. I would love to, but…
6. …by the time I got there, the ice would be melted
7. and it would be HOT.
8. That way lies danger.
9. Pull your hair up into a ponytail on the top of your head and sleep that way.
10. Love comin’ right atya.
1. too freakin hot. was 104 last time i checked.
2. cranky and irritable.
3. some place where there was water. lots of it. i would be in said water. splashing about.
4. heck no. it’s too hot!
5. no…
6. because it wouldn’t be iced by the time i got to you.
7. do you REALLY think you need more caffeine? you are being a little bossy…. i’m sure it’s the caffeine talking.
8. don’t even think about it…. i am quite sure that’s not how it works.
9. because that is not a look for female other than sinad o’conner.
10. you got it!!!! lovin you right up!
1. 87 and the humidity is way down from last week’s “feels like” of 110.
2. Glad it’s not last week.
3. I’d be lounging by a pool with Johnny Depp, Jon Stewart, Craig Ferguson and Gerard Butler arguing over who is going to bring me a fresh beer.
4. Are you insane? The fumes will be killer. Please tell me you aren’t even considering the notion of laquering the damned thing until fall.
5. No
6. Because I can’t figure out how to get it through the fax.
7. Don’t know how to email it either.
8. I think you’d be better served buying a bunch of those flexy blue ice packs jocks use, freezing them and placing them between your sheet and duvet and climbing in. Actually, I think I might just do that.
9. Sinead O’Connor and Natalie Portman. I saw a correction in one of the NY papers where they had misidentified Portman as being O’Connor. I laughed my ass off. Stick with putting your hair up. Long hair is easier than short. And the Geneva Conventions at one time considered putting “growing out short hair” on the list of types of torture. (is that not appropriate to joke about?)
10. Kissy, kissy Meg.
Of course I love you; after a week of mid to high 20′s, last night dropped to 12, and it’s only 13 and raining now.
I gave you some link love:
http://linkateria.blogspot.com/2006/07/hot-links.html
1. About 27C, with 40% humidity.
2. Kill me now.
3. In the bathtub with a Lush bath bomb and one of my library books, drinking ice water and eating a Cadbury.
4. It seems as if you already stained them. Did you wear gloves?
5. Sure. Do you take sugar?
6. Um, I said yes?
7. The heat has melted your eardrums.
8. Probably not. Your hair would stink, too.
9. I shaved off my locks a la GI Jane. The growout was terrifying. You could go for a super-short cut, like Edie Falco these days.
10. I will share my popsicle with you instead of the cat.
1. It is 93F with 26% humidity where I am.
2. I feel like I want to mate with Iceman from X Men.
3. I would be sitting with a bunch of friends, outside, around 8 pm. I would be laughing, dancing, drinking, and not worrying about life.
4. I never advise people to take on household projects just in case it goes horribly wrong.
5. Only if you bring me a Green Tea Frapuccino first.
6. Tit for tat, lady.
7. Don’t you use capital letters with me!
8. You might look like you just came out of the birth canal.
9. I never advise people to take on new, drastic haircuts just in case it goes horribly wrong.
10. Here is some late comment lovin.
