Yes, today is one of those days where you just might be able to fry an egg on the sidewalk! (or scramble it if that's your thang)
Do what you can to stay [img]cool.gif[/img] until this is over.
Good day to break out one of your favorite dvd's or videos, maybe do some re-organizing around your home or some cleaning. Watch a day baseball game. Make some kind of cold refreshing concoction to [img]cool.gif[/img] you off.
Take a cold shower. Smother yourself in ice cream [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] Turn your bathtup into a giant slushee and then sit in it while you take a sip or two (might wanna at least wash your feet first [img]graemlins/gulp.gif[/img] ) Treat yourself to a movie (matinees are cheaper or go to the two dollar movies for a couple of hours of ac action) Fill your pockets with ice cubes (although you may look as if you've had an accident once they melt)
Just do whatever you can to stay [img]cool.gif[/img] !
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's looking forward to the cooler days ahead although a little more slightly more mild summer weather would be just fine as well.
