DAMN , I'M HOT!
and not in the self assured attractive way.
I mean it's FREAKING HOT! in AZ!
WHY DO I LIVE HERE?
OH yeah it's because i was born and raised here! and i crave the sun. and warmth on my skin virtually year round . i love it here in the middle of the winter when all of my blog friends are snowed in and suffering from endless winter. and yet RIGHT ABOUT NOW, I'M DYING FROM A SELF INDUCED HEAT STROKE!
AZ Summer!
I'm noticing there are things that i do, that might not happen elsewhere.
you tell me.
- Do you wipe the sweat out of your cleavage with a paper napkin while driving in the car?
- Do you attempt to cool off your neck or face with a diaper wipe?
- Do you ever blow dry your hair an extra long time with the cool setting since it's blowing directly on you and it's better than the A/C ?
- Do you realize you are sweating so much while you flat iron your hair that it WILL NOT FLATTEN because the humidity and sweat keep curling it. and yet you continue to try since it's making your hair do stupid wavy things and you can't go out like that?
- Do you then call in your husband promising a "treat" and you blow him down with the cool setting and he's un-impressed , since he isn't sweating like a hog? (and yes i realize hogs don't sweat! he's told me a million times before)
- DO you notice that your waistband of your jeans/underwear/bra is still DAMP later just from sweating in the car 4 hours ago?
- DO your kids come in and STRIP down to panties as soon as you are in the house? because for 1 thing , you won't make them leave again. and 2. they cool off so much faster than with clothes on.
- DO you wish you could strip down and lay in a darkened air conditioned room all afternoon?
- do you ever get that uncomfortable DRIP of sweat sliiiiiding down your ....BACK? into your crack of course. (N8 i know you do!) anyone else?
- DO you get your Electric bill and choke on the $535 tab? OH YEAH but it was worth it to live in a COOL 76 degrees last month. and you happily pay it.
spill it!

Yes....to all of the above.
And I got a little nervous when I first started reading your "Do you then call in your husband promising a 'treat' and you blow him down with the..." comment. I thought, "Is she really putting THAT on here"...lol.
Glad you took a break from reading to blog for a moment. How're the books you got last night?
And more importantly, how's that freaking cute clock you won last night? Have you decided on a place of honor for it? No fair you keep winning!!
Oh, and I totally have to do the equal payment plan for electricity or I die when the bill comes in the summer.
I read all this and felt so appreciative of never feeling like that. Although in the winter I know I envy you. The $535 bill made me choke! Our summer bill isn't half that. WOW!
Do you wish you could have been in the cool, cool pines at Girl's Camp last week - even if it meant sleeping in a cabin with 13 twelve year olds? Oh yeah! Rain last night!!!
I wasn't sleeping with 13 teenagers however. Just 8 spiders.
Ummm...yes, yes, and yes to all of the above. Except I just use the hem of my shirt to wipe my boob sweat...i'm not as sophisticated as you, using a napkin. :o)
This is actually the only time during summer that I'm not thinking "Why am I not in Virginia?" Because in VA right now it's just as hot and sticky and gross as here.
Looking forward to Thanksgiving not just for the food, but b/c that's when it FINALLY cools down here in AZ! Hehehe
$535...I thought $179 was bad! Sheesh, I'd have a coronary! Try and stay cool!
I choked on your electric bill amount.....holy cow, and my hubby complained about the $180 one we got yesterday?! I'm hot too....but it was only about 98 today. But that's hot here! Especially when just a few months ago it was 20.....that's a big temperature swing! :) But I hate the dripping sweat....I had to come home from the "Family Festival" today and get in the shower to de-digustify....nice word, eh?!
I meant de-disgustify!
Oh, and I forgot....there are days I'd like to strip down to my panties as soon as I walk in the door! Your kids have the right idea! :)
Yes to all of thee above, I didn't know I could sweat like I do until I moved here, I even get the boob sweat even though those are non-existant :).
I would have had a heart attack if I opened my power bill and it was that high, the price we pay here just to be comfy.
My kids strip down to their undies when they get home from anywhere and they sleep in undies also, no jammies for them, it's just to hot!!!!!
Our bill was $431. We had two A/C's and kept it around 72.
I laid down the other night after moving all day and I took my bra off and I was soooo wet under there. It's so gross. And my underoos just stick to me and to my pants, so much fun!! I love the sweat drips down the chest and down the back. I find myself lifting my shirt up and standing in front of a fan when I am all hot and sweaty, of course in the comfort of my own home.
The pool isnt even that refreshing at 80-90 degrees.
But I would rather deal with this then snow ANY DAY!! Well at least for 3 months out of the year.
Holy Flip, I'd pass out with a bill that high. Our heat gets pretty high in the winter months though. I miss Arizona during the winter, but when I was there last week, I thought how in the hell did I live here? Holy Hot! The sweat in the cleavage cracked me up.
It does seem extra humid this summer!
i glady pay the extra cause in a few short months it will be sooo nice...just remember end of oct,nov,dec,jan,feb,mar,apr!! it makes it all worth it, right??
Try powder or cornstarch. When I lived in AZ those little tricks were the only thing that kept me from wringing out my underclothes. Oh yes, I've done all of that. But I love where I live now...101 is about the hottest the summers get and we don't deal with humidity. The winters are fab too. Maybe we shovel snow for a week but that's it. Most times the snow melts off before dark. But 2hours away and we are riding the snow on a sic board, poppin tricks.
I'll send my coolest thoughts your way...maybe it will help.
I thought for sure the treat you offered your hubby would be in response to him letting you turn the air down just a "little" bit more! I gladly pay almost anything to be comfortable in my own house. We are on the pay the same evey month plan.
Yeah, the other day I was leaving Nordstrom and Grant had a poopy diaper so I decided to change him in the car...I was so sweaty my glasses kept falling off of my face! I wanted to cry...

Yes... to most of the above + extremelly burned down and tired due to the heat, but I wouldn't trade it for anything, because I hate winter.
You explained the sweat perfectly! I sweat EVERYWHERE!!! Yep, my waistbands, back, bra lines, armpits, hair, neck, face, behind the knees, feet! EWWWWW sorry i spilled the beans on how sweaty & gross I am. hahaha
I totally use my cool button on my hairdryer, especially Sundays while getting ready for church. I even use it on my neck to cool off.
I totally wish I could strip down like my kiddos to cool off! And I thought I choked when my $350 bill came (up over $100 from last month). And that's with the a/c set at 78 most of the time! I wish we could drop it down more but could not imagine paying so much more!
I guess the heat is worth it to enjoy the other 8-9 months of the year!!!
Totally the same here in Vegas!! It Sucks!!!! I was born and raised here in Vegas and you would think you would get use to it after all these years!!! NOPE IT'S FREAKIN CRAZY!!!!
N8 and I were admiring the boy across the street that is constantly wearing only tighty whities. If only we all looked that cute. I thought my power bill was bad, I'll stop complaining. And yes, I get sweat in my cleavage, yet I have no cleavage, that is how hot it is.
Yep, yep, and yep..HATE sweating all the time here...Everyone is crapping over your bill..Ours was $853. Thought I was gonna puke.
When we lived in Utah and Colorado our utility bills never ever reached this high. Not in winter or summer. Another reason to love living in the desert!
Luckily it hasn't gotten over 95 this year and I am in HEAVEN! I feared that it would be really hot like last year....but we are surviving. Yes, when I lived there all those things....but I don't miss those things right now....but I do miss the wonderful winters!!!
YES! To everything. Being prego makes it even worse. Its been a long summer for me :(
I'm totally with you. Most often I give up on the flat iron and find a clip to at least pull the hair out of my face so it looks like it's that way on purpose. lol And, I'll get rid of all the other 'extra' stuff before I turn the air back up. :0)
Oh, and boob sweat is the worst!!
LOL, hate the boob sweat!
A $535 utility bill, that makes me want to throw up.
When it gets hot here in CO, it gets hot but not AZ hot. Thankfully, but I do love to come visit becaus eI crave the heat and sunshine.
OY! I think we get used to what we know. I can handle the cold but severe heat drives me nuts. Now the bitter cold in Feb and March gets me to about where you are right now. Too bad I can't spend Feb and March at your house and you can't spend July and August at mine!
