i'm meellltting...


i am mellltttiing, i am melting!!!  i'm hoping i don't look as bad as her, but i'm sure i look pretty close!

it is hot here in germany...africa hot, only we aren't on safari and there are no cool animals to look at, only naked germans, so it is not africa fun!

it hit 95 degrees today and is scheduled to hit 100 degrees tomorrow.

"what, that's not hot!" my american friends may be saying, especially those that experienced upwards of 110 degrees this summer, but here in europe it is hot!  it is really hot when you have no air conditioners in your home or in any department store or grocery store in sight!  as the matter of fact many of my girlfriends discussed bringing our lawn chairs and margaritas and meeting in the freezer section of the local grocery today, but we figured that probably wouldn't go over very well!

i know, i know, i complained last year when it rained too much, and now i'm complaining about the heat, but doesn't there have to be a happy medium?

pools are open late, ice stores have lines a mile long and i have heard a rumor that there is actually ice being served in water!

i was talking to a new expat today, she said she took her dog for a walk on the rhine this morning, she proceeded to tell me that she saw a full naked man laying by the beach reading his book!  i told her that in germany nudity was not frowned upon... come to think about it maybe they have the right idea and in this weather, we are the crazy ones?  okay, i'm not saying that i'm stripping down just yet, but don't look in my backyard tomorrow!!

  2. Hahah....ur far too funny...it's hot here all year in florida so i know what you mean and we have to walk outside a lot so it's not like the air cools us as much as we need. my ma used to sit in front of a fan with ice cubes melting down her face....i can't run naked quite yet either:)

    as far as commenting, try switching to pop up. blogger has had issues with embed below the post for quite some time....see if that helps and if now, we'll go from there:) xoxo happy comment love day!

  3. Oh gosh, I'd love 35 degrees!!! Our summer is so short here, so definitely I wouldn't mind that. I have friends in Italy and I go there as often as I can, they usually have 35-ish degrees in the summer and they all moan about it. But that's because they have 4+ months of summer and then it actually IS summer. We have 3 months and we never know if there will be a summer, it can just as well be three months rain and 15 degrees. So I'd LOVE your temps! The last few days have been ok here though, and although it's rained a lot this summer, it could have been worse.
    I haven't seen any problems with embed below the post comments. And I read lots of blogger blogs. It has to be a browser compatibility problem.
    Here from comment love, have a nice day!
