HOT!!! HOT!! HOT!!!

Hey kids i hope your keeping cool!

Its 101 degrees on my side of the tracks here!!!! Pretty crazy stuff!!! Global warming right? Yea right. In Minnesota we call it SUMMER!! BOO-YA!!! So we are chilling in our slightly air conditioned home. What are you doing to stay cool today? Have you run out of ideas? Well fear not my peeps! I am here to SAVE you!!!! I have a few COOL (literally) ideas to keep you busy!

1. Make homemade Popsicles
2. Build an indoor fort
3. Make JELL-O
4. Try Iced Coffee for the FIRST time EVER!!! (or pretend its your first time!)
5. Watch cartoons!!!
6. Eat a WHOLE watermelon. By yourself. Better yet race someone!
7. Make some homemade ice tea
8. Rollerblade in the basement
9. Take random pictures. Print them off and place them around your house. Invite your friends to your "gallery"
10. Play Lego's.
11. Freeze your husbands (or sister, mom, dad, brother) toothbrush in a bottle of water. (yes. yes i did)
12. Have a tetris marathon. How long can you go?
13. See how many gummy bears can you put in your mouth at once
14. Make play-doh
15. Follow someone around the house very closely. And when they ask what you want sigh heavily and say "nuthin"
16. Finger paint
17. Scream really loud. Go ahead. Right now. Do it. Do IT!!
18. Style your hair like you were four.
19. Go play with the pots and pans like you did when you were a kid. Yup. On the kitchen floor with that wooden spoon. And be obnoxious. Thats right. And when someone comes and says "what in the name of your great aunt sally are you doing?" Respond: "Arent I cute? Take my picture."
20. Make koolaid ice cubes and put them in your favorite soda. Drink up!!

That should keep you busy until sundown!! Have fun!!!

And i was thinking to myself this is perfect snack weather!!! thats right i never miss an opportunity to eat something!! ha ha. But what is the perfect snack for a moment like this when i can space out into the world outside...? Well i have it here. I do. Its yummy and delicious and wonderful. What is it do you ask? The one and only childhood snack you can never grow out of:

ANTS ON A LOG!!!

Thats right!!! I made some this morning and brought them to work and it is the absolute most perfect thing to a day like this.

So perhaps you need a pick me up. Then you are in luck my friend. All you need is your perfect spot to sit with a little sunshine...a good view and celery pb and raisins. Whip it up and enjoy!!!

You'vewaited this long whats two more weeks? i said STOP WHINING!!!! jeez...any WHOGet ready (that means you have to stop whining, there is no whining in summer or spring oranywhere over here by me....go over there) because its warming up super duper fast.The birdsare out at FIVE IN THE MORNING!!!! and they sing and sing AND SING AND SING AND so you HAVE TO GET UP!!!! and the flowers are blooming....except for mine because i dont have any. Why? i dont wanna talk about it. (jeez your all in my business...didnt i tell you to go over there?!) Things are GREEN. Like the grass and the trees have leaves. Did i spell that right?) cute little baby leaves they are just so darling (why are you back over here?) in my bubble for real

Nothing is cuter than baby leaves. And the sun is out!!! OUT!! REAL LIVE SUNSHINE!!! I like sunshine. Well i like sunshine in mid june because then im not allergic to it. THHHATTTS right. im allergic to the SUN. no i dont MELT! (what is the matter with you today?) Just for a short period of time it makes me ITCHY!!!

Thats right just imagine little itchy bumps all up and down your arms ooo yea can you feel it? Yea ITCHY!!! But your itchy cause its in your head. It happens to me FOR REAL. For TWO MONTHS!!! how bout that? WOO!!!! (did you just call me crazy?) (at least i wasnt crying! :P) So there!!!

ANY WAY....the signs are all there.... holy cow why is my font so big??!!! ok there we go. the signs are all there spring is coming. The birds (dear GOD why did you mention the birds again!!????)))) are singing (and they never STOP) and the baby leaves are out (they are so cute!!) and the dogs are frolicking ( eeww) and the invites are coming in. You know the ones. The ITS SUMMER COME OVER AND EAT MY FOOD AND DO OTHER STUFF invitations.

So you have two weeks (to stop your whining) and RSVP to all your invites (but you cant go if your gonna cry) and go say hello to the cute leaves (hello you cutzy wootzy ity bitty cute weevesss....) because in two weeks they will be all grown up (and youll cry because you miss them) and get up early because the birds WONT STOP SINGING!!!

Interesting....

So you need to get a gift right? Say..for one of your girls friends, or wife, or sister, maybe your mom but you have no idea what to get this special lady who means so much to you. Well, you can just go to any website and type in "gift" hit the link that says "gifts for her" and you will find tons of gift ideas. BUT heres the kicker. According to the gift assortments....women only like to 1)Eat-chocolate and candy and 2) Cook.

Yup. thats right thats all we do. So if you need a hobby and are tired of sitting around the house (because clearly we do nothing else) maybe you should eat some chocolate! or cook something for that special someone in your life because seriously what else do women do?

Stereotyped!! Unbelievable!!

So your mission is to break out of that little box! Break that stereotype they want us to be!!! So get your JEANS on and go stick it to the MAN!!!
