I cant remember if we have had this here before or not, but Im sharing again anyways!!!!!

Texas Heat

June 1:
Just moved to Texas! Now this is a state that knows how to live!!
Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! It is
beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.

June 14th:
Really heating up; got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an
air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see
the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper.

June 30th:
Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today; lots of
cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing the lawn for
me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

July 10th:
The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used
to this kind of heat? At least, it's kind of windy though. But getting
used to the heat is taking longer than I expected.

July 15th:
Fell asleep by the pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body);
missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson
though - got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.

July 20th:
I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this
morning. By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen
up to the size of a shopping bag, then popped like a water balloon. The
car now smells like Kibbles and $hits. I learned my lesson though. No
more pets in this heat. Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again.

July 25th:
The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's
hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC
repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.

July 30th:
Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now, $200,000 house and
I can't even go inside. Lomita is the lucky one. Why did I ever come
here?

Aug. 4th:
It's 105 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost
$5000 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state.

Aug. 8th:
If another wise a$$ cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to
strangle him. D@mn heat. By the time I get to work, the radiator is
boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!

Aug. 9th:
Tried to run some errands after work - wore shorts, and when I sat on
the seats in the car, I thought my a$$ was on fire. My skin melted to
the seat. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my
legs and a$$ . . . Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried a$$, and
baked cat.

Aug 10th:
The weather report might as well be a d@mn recording . . . Hot and
sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do $hit for two
d@mn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week.
Doesn't it ever rain in this d@mn state? Water rationing will be next,
so my $1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over. Even the
cactus can't live in this d@mn heat.

Aug. 14th:
Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today. Cactus are dead. Forgot
to crack the window and blew the d@mn windshield out of the car. The
installer came to fix it and guess what he asked me??? "Hot enough for
you today?" My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail.
Freaking Texas. What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here??

Will write later to let you know how the trial goes

That's pretty good. I think I have read that before somewhere or another, but I am still laughing reading it again. That is the way I feel even though I was born and raised here. But down here in south east Texas it does rain-all the time. That is why we boil down here! And we have a misquito population of 4949494949495756768804404737237378339955896587. You can't even go outside without getting eaten up. Not that you would want to go outside anyway, it's August-hell on earth month.

They live here around the puddles of water and the waters in the ditches and the ponds. They are really bad at night.

Cindy that was cute. I have not read that before but I have seen one in the same outline style for living in New England about the snow and salt onthe roads and so forth. I will have to try to find it now.

That was hilarious. I loved it and passed it on to several friends. I am still LMAO. Very comparable to Arkansas heat as well. Too funny.

I'm tempted to send this to a friend of mine living in Houston. She and her husband have been campaigning for Jonathan and I to move to Texas for years now. I keep telling her that I have nothing against Texas, but I'd melt like an ice cube in an oven down there. I'm too acclimated to Seattle.

Currently 55 degrees with an expected high of 70 today. :)
