Were not in Florida anymore kiddies...but it sure as hell feels like it.
Living in Florida I started to become as immune to it as possible. I knew what times not to to outside, what venues provided ample shade and so on and so forth but Pennsylvania is on the next level. I used this theory down in Florida to argue my point about their 'cold' winter but I am turning it around and arguing the other.
When the chilly 30 degree weather hit Florida over the winter most locals were in shock and couldn't wait for the coldness to pass. I'm originally from PA and I was still feeling the nip but we couldn't really bitch about anything considering the whole North East coast was getting pounded with blizzard after blizzard. If I said I was cold I'd have a dozen other northerners saying...'Try it up here...We're freezing', which I imagine they were.
But my argument was that the East coast was already used to that weather. For the months and months leading up to actual winter many northerners were able to adapt by having a nice brisk fall in which you unpacking your turtlenecks and parkas and getting ready for winter. November in Florida, I'm pretty sure I was still hitting up the beach.
Now, I have used that argument for down there but I am now changing my viewpoint. It seems as though were starting to hit somewhat of a heatwave up here. I've tried to convince my body that it does not need to be on the defense anymore in the face of angry wench that is humidity but she has gone and effed up my plans. No cool breeze sings through the air at night and brushes my skin to give me goosies. Instead sweat has been clinging to my every pore and I'm pretty sure in my un-air conditioned room, I'm sweating in places I didn't even know I was suppose to sweat.
Until my body temperature comes back down, I will salivating at the thought of these...
And doing this for the rest of the day....
How are you staying cool this summer?!?

This summer does seem particularly brutal. Sweet heavens it's hot! Are you all under a heat advisory? We are down here! When they warn you about the heat in the South, you know it's bad.
Lots and lots and lots of ice water.
And lots and lots of peeing.
First of all- I love that you called Humidity an angry wench. So true, so true.
Secondly- I have to tell you that the AC went out at work today in OKLAHOMA and I had streams of sweat running straight down between my boobs into my belly button.
(you're welcome for that visual! haha)
Fans are my best friend. I am pretty cheap with my AC because I abuse it so fans are the way I stay cool. And lots of ice cream :)
pretty sure I'm loving ice cream this summer!

It has been extremely hot here! Can't say I blame for your summer activities, I hope I get to enjoy the same.
