100.....WHOA!

Today it's supposed to reach 100 degrees here.  It's on days like this that I know I will miss Minnesota.  I HATE hot weather.  I don't like being hot, and I don't like sweating..... it very rarely got this hot in Minnesota.  This is the second time in a month that is has been over 100 here.... the other time was in early June, the precise day that my mom and I moved ALL of our heavy furniture into our new house.... it was a hot day.

This morning I got up and took Josie to the dog park already, because it's supposed to be so hot this afternoon, that I don't want to take her later today.
