The next time I decide to have sex outside in the summertime, would someone please hit me upside the head and remind me of this post?
I won't go into too much explicit detail here, but the other night I got the urge and called up a lover to see if she could help me out. She told me that she wasn't at home and wouldn't be for awhile, but that she could meet me somewhere.
To make a long story short, we ended up doing the deed outside against her car. When I got home, I realized that my ass and legs were covered in mosquito bites. Very itchy mosquito bites. And trying to scratch that many bites with just my fingers simply wasn't getting the job done. So I got an old hair brush and went to town on myself with that to get some relief. I ended up spending that night periodically scratching like a hound.
I'm still itching some -- the hot weather we've been having hasn't helped things at all,

Speaking of the weather, we had our first triple-digit high temperature of the summer today. The official high temperature was 104F, which set a record. The lowest temperature of the day also set a record for being the highest low temperature. Unfortunately, the weatherman predicted more of the same for tomorrow, with no rain in sight.
It was so hot today that I thought I saw a guy wearing a red suit and carrying a pitchfork as I drove around town.
Despite it being almost too hot to breathe, let along eat, this didn't stop the usual crop of idiots from ordering pizza. We could have had alien invaders marching down our town's main street, and these cretins would still be ordering pizza. Hell, I'd not be surprised if the aliens would order pizza to be delivered to their spaceship as well!
I managed to get through the night without completely melting into a greasy puddle, but when I got home, I had to literally peel the sweaty clothes off my body. I'd left the air-conditioning on when I'd left the house, so that the cats wouldn't get too hot while I was gone. So, at least I got cool quickly enough once I'd divested myself of my nasty clothes.

While listening to a radio talk show tonight, one caller said "incentivize" when talking to the host. When I heard this, I yelled at the radio, "That's not a word, you fucking moron!" Out of all types of bastardizations of the English language, I think I despise corporate trendy lingo the most.

I read that there was a F2 tornado in Brooklyn yesterday. This is an extremely rare occurrence for New York City, the last time being in 1889. Screwy weather, indeed.
Ouch--You poor thing, I hope you have some anti-itch cream, that would help
you. I'm glad that wasn't me, I welt with mosquito bites! It's hotter
than hell here too. With the humidity levels, there are excessive heat
warnings out, telling people to stay indoors. Today the temperature is
hitting 96 with a heat index of over 110. Be careful out there and drink
lots of water while you're working!
Yes, screwy weather indeed!
Reminds me of high school, when venues were limited. DH and I had a
favorite spot down by a river, but talk about mosquitoes! Hang in there.
Language is alive. It changes. Incentivize has real meaning to many,
particularly those in the promotional marketing business. Sorry. It's hot
as flippin' hell. That's for sure. Air like a wall. Try some kind of bug
spray next time?
So many teenage memories . . . . mutual massaging of Avon Skin So Soft (now
marketed as a bug repellent). I hope you have recovered.
