I was just teasing. You can get me back in the winter when I'm whining that it's 45F/7C outside and so so cold that I can't even leave the house.
Speaking of weather, I just woke up because a huge thunderstorm came out of nowhere at 4 in the morning. The wind is blowing the rain so hard against my metal front door that it woke me up and now I can't fall back asleep. The internet says the wind is only blowing 11 MPH right now. The internet is wrong. Looking at my window, it has to be blowing at least 40-45 MPH and maybe even more. The trees in my front yard look like one of those pictures you see of branches blowing with a hurricane in progress. The rain is coming in almost perpendicular to the ground instead of falling down from the sky. It's horizontal rain.
Good on you for getting ahead at work. Have a great day! Use that extra second wisely!

Morning everyone 
Well, I think somehow England stole my summer, or Ohio has decided to make me feel at home, it has been days now of cool, overcast and raining. I am over it! I want the sun out, so I can complain it is too hot!
Woke up early, not sure why. Mr. Fireman is coming over at noon. And repeating the mantra in my head "must behave, must behave" but feel I might not.

4am Trachemys? You sure there is such a time?
I'm sure you'll be fine LearningAgain. Just don't ask to play with his hose or polish his helmet
Now I know it's too quiet at work - the contents of my chicken wrap have been replaced by a plastic turd (least I hope it's plastic). I suppose this is revenge for me turning the hosepipe on a couple of the guys this morning.

Last night one son's cat got out (they are indoor cats), so I spent 30 minutes crawling around in the bushes trying to get her because she was terrified! She is black, so I could not see her. I was expecting the police to show up after reports of the crazy british girl crawling through the flowerbeds cursing!

Good one saoutchit!! LOL
I've agreed to let a bunch of my kids friends come over today..... it's gonna be a noisy, messy afternoon! Think I'll herd them all over to the public pool and do my best to tire them all out

For the reminders of why summers, even cool summers, aren't bad.
Good morning! I wrote out a whole response an hour ago and it said my token expired and erased it. Bummer.
Nice nail polish color. I have no tattoos. It's cooler this morning and comfortable. At work and waiting for show time. So, I'll be checking in and out. Kids had a good first day at camp despite the rain.

Learningagain, the black cat outside at night account made me laugh. That's why mine has a collar with bell so I can find her in the dark.
Sao, don't blame you for walking. I can't imagine the underground in hot weather. The subways here are wretched when it's hot.

LOL Ruby, my cats refuse collars. I think I scarred them with the reindeer costumes and now they are terrified of any outfit!
I am enjoying a morning of watching trash TV - the real housewives. They are so dramatic! About to pop to the store, then clean up a bit before Mr. Fireman shows up.

You scared me with that snow picture, Ruby.
When I first moved to Washington from Lake Tahoe, there was frequent snow. After Tahoe, it seemed kind of meh. In 1999 I bought all wheel drive because it's hilly here and I got tired of slipping around on the hills. There have only been two instances of significant snow since then. This whole global warming thing is working out okay for the north.
Della and Trach, you made me giggle about that extra second.
Learningagain - oh. I don't even invite men in to my house alone. Good luck with that. Take it easy.

The stock markets were/are in a tizzy about the micro second thing. It apparently may affect electronic trading. Or not.
Bimini, I would love all wheel drive. That would be so helpful. Sorry I scared you with the snow. Makes sense that we've had the rainiest June since 1902 if we had all that snow this winter

Wow Mecanix, You've had a productive day. I forgot you're off this week too.
Bimini, I'm glad you like hula girl. I'm fond of mine. She needs more photo ops. I'll be having road trips for sure. Did you put yours in your car?
