What month do you think it is, when:
*the weather report warns of snow storms on all the mountain passes.
*I am late leaving the house because I can't find my daughter's warm coat.
*I dump the ice from my soda in the yard, and it's still there (no joking!) 3 hours later.
Hint: This is in the Northern Hemisphere.
If you guessed January, get off my blog and go sit by your stinkin' pool. I hope you fall asleep and get a nasty sunburn.
If you guessed June, you must live in the Pacific Northwest. Crank up your furnace and make yourself a cup of hot cocoa. A shot of whiskey might help, too.
I swear, this will be my LAST whiney post about the weather (today).

Hi Brooke--
We are watching the stupid moving trucks in front of our house as Sloan and Chad pack up to go and it is really depressing--but how much worse for them (especially Sloan who loves warm, sunny weather) to return to snow and cold in JUNE! We are going to miss the G family so much. I'm amazed at how things all worked out so that we could live right accross the street, etc. . .
I love to check your blog and see what you're up to. I tried the no diet coke thing for two weeks. Then I thought, there are so few of life's simple pleasures. And now I'm stuck on this island with even fewer of those simple pleasures to enjoy, so for now I'll drink away--although decaffinated sits in the fridge and is probably much "better for me," if it's possible to have soda be good for you at all. :)--Amie
Aime - Have you guys considered McChord as your next base? Or if you're seperating, there are some great pedo practices in this neck of the woods. (Yeah, that's really tempting following this post, huh?) :-)
Dear Brooke,
Never mind. You wouldn't think it was funny.
Love, Mom
You will be in Sunny So Cal and Utah very soon! It is nice and warm here.
Dear Mom,
Argh! You know I can read your mind. And no, it's not funny.
Come visit and bring some of your sunshine to share.
Love, Brooke
Yuck! I won't tell you that Colorado has more sunny days than Florida and California. I just heard that we're also way up there on the skin cancer rate, too. :{
Maybe clouds can be a good thing?
Kiahna - Looking forward to it! Get out your sunglasses, 'cuz my lily white legs are gonna be blinding! (Except for the shadow cast by my hairs, which I refuse to shave until I have a reason to.)
TMI?? :-)
Tara - Great Pollyanna attitude. Since I never wear sunscreen, this is saving my skin.
Brooke,
I didn't even have a clue as to what month it could be...not even January could be that cold! :)
Jessica - I'll pity you in August, when you're stuck inside all day because your feet would melt to the sidewalk if you went outside. Hey, maybe you guys should come VISIT US that month. The money you would save by not running your A/C would probably pay for the trip. :-)
Yes, it's been AWFUL! And I heard the stats this morning to back it up! Check out the "BBQ Index"

It has been 95 and humid here for the past four days. Believe me, it is worse than June in Seattle -- although I remember how cranky the natives get when the it is drizzly, gray and 50 on the first day of "summer." My utility bills are insane.
Don't worry, July 4th -- the real start of Seattle summer -- will be here soon, and you will be caffeine-free to celebrate it, right?
Just give yourself a break and have a nice cold Diet Coke. You'll feel better. A month from now, you'll be bitching about the heat, anyway. :)
