Summer in Florida. It's hot and humid and it rains every.afternoon.all.summer.long. Really weathermen (and women) in Florida should get the summer off, just like teachers. I always kid that the local news stations should just have viewers send in video of themselves doing the weather report, it's not so much a forecast seeing as my 5 year old could tell you what to expect today, and play a different one everyday. Can you imagine? A wet dream for all those wanna be film makers on you tube. They could even do international week and do the weather in other languages because we all know they'd still be saying this: Beautiful and hot in the morning, clouds rolling in later in the day and thunderstorms in the late afternoon. Seriously it's not like we need to know the high and the low, it will be in the 70's when you drag your ass out of bed and in the 90's when you are eating dinner. 91 or 95 , you will still sweat as soon as you open the door, does the number really matter?
I know, I'm doing a post on weather! The hell? The heat must be getting to me already. Actually I just wanted to post this little clip from SNL and I needed some filler. Remember back when I was bragging about how I'm almost famous I mentioned my sorority sister who was a meteorologist on the Weather Channel? Dude, she made it big time! She's been mentioned on the Weekend Update on SNL. Skip to :51 for her little blip.
I wonder if she found this humorous? I'll bet she doesn't care too much, seeing as she won her case. Oh and she works for CNN now, not a bad move, eh?
Okay, we are off to enjoy the beautiful morning at the pool, before the clouds roll in. I don't know the exact temperature, but I know it's too hot to sit and read in shorts beside the pool now. I actually have to put on a suit and at least dip my legs and that's all I need to know.
Funny post. I am right there with you in the weather dept. We are in SW Florida and it rains (monsoons) here everyday now...I guess it is better than the fires we were just having. But the humidity...come on...my hair has NOT a chance in hell until December now.
Good for your weather girl friend...no one should be harrassed....

I never visit anyone near Florida in the summer. Of course living in Texas now means I really have no room to talk. At least you have an ocean or two.

I'm from SoCal--I don't do humidity. I do like Florida in early March though!

OMG. I knew about the every afternoon rains, having been to FL before, but I had perfectly stick straight hair back then. After the birth of my son it decided it's almost curly now.
It's going to be HUGE the entire week we are there! GAH.
On that note 10 more days!
