This weather SUCKS!

Being from Arizona, I'm use to warm weather.  In fact I love the fact that Arizona is pretty much warm year round.  I don't need the change of seasons.  I'm perfectly happy with wearing cute dresses and open toed shoes all year long.  But living in Virginia is a completely different story when SUMMER is a mere 3 months and the rest of the year is...Ehhh to me.  There's so many people who would argue with me on this, including my husband.  They think Virginia is beautiful, bright, sunny and warm.  Ok, so maybe, just maybe a few weeks out of the summer is warm.  Like the week we had temps in the 90's.  *GASP*  Did I say 90's???  So my version of 90.....YES, I get to go to the pool and the water won't be cold.  Every native Virginian would say.....90...it's so hot.  Can you believe the heat index makes it feel like 105 degrees.  Oh my.....it's so hot.  You can't do anything.  It's horrible. Look our grass is turning brown.....

My version....YES!  This weather feels great and quit your crying.  Phoenix had a high of 118 this summer.  Now that's HOT!  And what's wrong with brown grass.  Water it people!

So, today.....it was overcast and I think a high of 72.  72!!!!!  It's AUGUST for goodness sakes.  I haven't been to the pool in a week because when it's overcast and a tad chilly oh and rainy you just can't go.    For the past 2 weekends we can't forget the rain that we had last Saturday and the Saturday before that.  Now, don't get me wrong.  Rain is good if it's a thunderstorm.   I love thunderstorms.  They are fun to watch well as long as your not driving in it.  Cause for some reason in Virginia, the roads were not built to handle the amount of people here.  So people freak out and we get tons of traffic, even with just a sprinkle.  The back country roads that offer some sort of way to get around not driving on the beltway usually flood so off to the main roads we go.  But traffic is not my subject of this post, its the cold crappy weather.  And it's getting so old.

So I'm going to say it.  If August is going to be cold and crappy then September better make up for it in warmth.  Now of course living in Virginia, the pools all close on Labor Day weekend.  I can somewhat accept that I only have a whopping 28 days left to swim but geez can we at least get some upper 80's - lower 90's to make it feel like it's actually summer?  You know, the season that comes after Spring and before Fall???

Ok, venting done.
