Be Careful What You Wish For...
...cuz you just might get it....you just might get it. *breaking it down to "When I Grow Up" by the Pussycat Dolls.
But seriously.
100 degrees in April?!
We don't live by the equator last time I checked.
I recall whining about the weather, the cold, the blustery wind, the rain that "WE desperately need" and now BAM.
3 days of scorching heat.
We actually went swimming on Sunday. In a POOL that isn't heated!
The kids would swim in the gutters in December if we let them.
Our little window unit air conditioner hasn't seen this much action since August, '08, poor little thing, chugging along.
Spitting out 64 degree air to the teensy 4 square foot area in front of it.
This is where being a vampire isn't such a bad idea.
Anyhoo.
The weather is supposed to be back to "normal" by Friday.
Normal means to us, 3 days of scorching heat/a mid-sized earthquake/3 days of raining buckets.
That's how we roll in Cali yo.
Oh and that earthquake thing...totally appropriate in the weather category.
See, when the weather gets kinda muggy between heat and rain...people in CA say that's "earthquake weather."
Earthquakes are all, "we don't discriminate weather-wise, but what ever those westerners think...we just keep them on their toes."
Just making sure I pack my sunscreen. When that earthquake hits and we become Monterey Island I want to make sure I'm prepared!

Send heat! :)
April 21, 2009 at 3:52 AM
Oh, man. We've been in the 90's here but 100?! That's unbearable. But at least you have no humidity...
April 21, 2009 at 4:17 AM
Today is going to be a rain/snow mix. By Thursday it will be 80. Go figure.
April 21, 2009 at 5:17 AM
Stay cool. Hotter there than here in Orlando, where we are having awesome spring weather.
April 21, 2009 at 5:26 AM
Sounds like our weather here in North Cackalacky!!!! it can be 75 one day....and a lovey 54 the next....rainy then dry!!! not sure how the weather man makes a living here b/c it changes by the MINUTE :)
April 21, 2009 at 5:27 AM
aw, I miss home! earthquakes are much more fun than hurricanes. random too, ya can't see them coming....just a little impromptu roller coaster. haha j/k
BTW- hi, i decided to come out of lurkment & actually comment. :)
April 21, 2009 at 6:44 AM
Wow & here I was complaining because it's suppose to be in the low 80's this weekend! lol If it's this warm now, I hate to think what the summer is going to be like!
Stay cool!
April 21, 2009 at 7:11 AM
I'm first? Yipee! I know what you mean about "be careful what you wish for." Scorching heat is no fun, but hey, pools are! It's only 68 degrees here, hoping we get some warm weather soon...I think!
April 21, 2009 at 7:14 AM
Yeah, I've been begging for warm weather here in DC but 100 degrees is not what I'm looking for either! Stay cool!
April 21, 2009 at 7:29 AM
That is CRAZY! I thought GA weather was screwy. There was even a earthquake about 50 miles from us a few weeks ago. A mild one, but still.
April 21, 2009 at 7:43 AM
I hear ya sister. My kids were griping on Sunday about how hot they were. It was 81. Which was a 30 degree swing from the days earlier, but as I told them. " Be happy it is not still raining." That is Portland for you.
April 21, 2009 at 8:01 AM
Sweatin' and sympathizin' with you my friend ")
April 21, 2009 at 8:05 AM
Yikes!
We have 4 C here, with icky rain. What I wouldn't give for some heat! And I can't even imagine swimming in an unheated pool!! There is a whole other world out there! :o)
April 21, 2009 at 8:48 AM
YOu are too funny. Our weather is crazy too, but in the cold area. So weird this year.
April 21, 2009 at 8:54 AM
ridiculously hot here, too, and we're nowhere near water :-/
April 21, 2009 at 8:59 AM
Huh! I thought the same thing! Eathquake weather! Did you see the sky at sunrise ( Maybe not I think our school is the only school that starts at 7:50 forcing me to get up before sunrise to get there half way decent). Any how it was beautiful! Stay Cool ! Looks like a repeat of yesterday.
April 21, 2009 at 9:52 AM
Friday and Saturday it was 75 and sunny here in good old Michigan, then it's been 40 and raining since Sunday. Today, it hailed. GAAAAHHHH!!!
April 21, 2009 at 9:59 AM

Please bring on the cooler weather!
April 21, 2009 at 10:33 AM
WOW Thats hot.. its suppose to be 85 here Saturday that's HOT for us as well. If you become an island can I come visit :-)
April 21, 2009 at 10:54 AM
Sitting here in 40 degree weather... I would like me some of that 90s! But, you are right... three days of 90s and I'd be like... hello... could we get a break from the fiery pits of hell or what???
April 21, 2009 at 12:33 PM
Oh c'mon suck it up...I could send you the 42 and rainy that I have had...the wind alone makes me want to bundle up in 6 blankets.....=) I am totally jealous of your little heat wave!!!
April 21, 2009 at 12:39 PM
The weather has been soooo wierd! Last week we were in the middle of a blizzard and this week were at 80 flippin degrees. Hope it cools off for you! Stay cool.
April 21, 2009 at 12:40 PM
No kidding about the heat! But it's a DRY heat, right? HAHAHAHA
It was 102 when I picked the kids up at school yesterday...and I actually turned on the A/C at home which I didn't have to do all summer last year!!!
(earthquake weather? crap!)
April 21, 2009 at 12:50 PM
I'm going to stop complaining!
April 21, 2009 at 3:15 PM
Wow! 100 degrees?! I'll take our 70degree weather...hopefully it will last a little longer.
April 21, 2009 at 3:17 PM
Wow. We're 75 and so we have nice weather. 100 is way too hot. We get that in July and then it goes up until middle of August.
There's another song that has lyrics like that, HOME by DAUGHTRY, but it goes "be careful what you wish for... you might just get it all... and then some you don't want." ;)
April 21, 2009 at 4:37 PM
Yesterday was 97 in my Cali beach town, today was 10 degrees cooler ad go figure my daughter fainted with heat exhaustion! She's all good now, but just as we're getting used to this weather, tomorrow is supposed to be 20 degrees cooler than today...WTF! Definitely earthquake weather!
April 21, 2009 at 9:29 PM
