Panties Officially In A Twist

This is an OUTRAGE, people! I don't know if you've been following the current Seattle area weather trends, but you should be. It's a sign that the end of the world is near. We have been experiencing some record-breaking heat. In fact, this last week Seattle was hotter than Tucson, Arizona. OK, I haven't actually fact-checked that one, but my friend Carrie assures me that it's true. All I know is that in some areas, temperatures reached 108. And that is unacceptable.

Come on, Seattle! What does a girl have to do to get some freaking RAIN up in here? Isn't rain kind of our THING? Isn't that what we do best? I would KILL for some rain right about now.

But wait, this story is about to get a whole lot sadder. Since temperatures like these are unheard of in Seattle, air conditioning is virtually non-existent. You gotta go to the library. Or the DMV. No thanks. I'll take the first degree burns. I have insurance.

And just when you thought this story couldn't get any worse, let me remind you that I work in a kitchen. With four ovens. And a six-burner stove. And it's underground. No windows. Of course, no air conditioning. Remember 7th grade Greek mythology? I'm like freaking Hephaestus, hanging out in my smithy in the middle of the earth, forging various metal do-dads for the rest of the gods on Mount Olympus.

AND it's totally making my skin break out!

Tissue, anyone?

oh, poor, poor Randilicious. I am truly sorry for you on this one. I remember the sweltering sticky heat of Boston (which they're totally used to and have NO EXCUSE for the lack of AC). But you're right, Seattle has NO RIGHT to be so hot. I'll picket with you... for rain and more rain.

Or, you could come see me... We're keeping it at 70 degrees, night and day, sista. Come on over!

How do you keep the frosting on your cakes from sliding right off?? Being from Bama, I totally sympathize with you, but we have A/C EVERYWHERE down here. Even at places you wouldn't think, like Farmer's Markets and open air arenas, so I'm nice and cool as long as I'm inside! Loves to you!!
