funny thing about the weather...
So, we all know that I hate the heat and humidity of a North Carolina summer, to the point that those who know and love me best are probably sick of hearing about my ever-new-found levels of hatred for it.
And yet...
...upon exiting the building this week after work, this week of 100+ temperatures and heat indices, I find simply that the air feels like home.
In fact, it makes me a bit nostalgic because it feels somehow like summer camp. It's got a magical balance of temperature, haziness and humidity that strikes a chord.
When I left for a three week, 'round the country road trip a few years ago my mom said, "don't forget that you are a Carolina girl!"

Totally unrelated: I'm all like Squee! BPAL! Because the Big Summer Update is slated for Thursday. I've decided that watching the Path of BPAL is as close as I might come to loving a sport. I really get a lot of enjoyment out of watching how the business itself changes and progresses. The strategy, the hard work, the way they deal with their fans, and the end result, which is a delight to the senses the same way that watching an amazing feat of athletics is a delight.
I've been wearing Hungry Ghost Moon a lot-- it's light and tasty, just like a summer fragrance should be.

I love exiting my super-air-conditioned office and feeling the blast of humid heat! It's refreshing! Of course, activity in the heat is another thing altogether. I looove the heat ... as long as I just have to sit of the verandah and sip a mint julep!

"Feels like home"? You mean, as in, "feels like the inside of my mother's womb - 98.6 and 100% humidity"?

Lisa: the South is so civilized sometimes! my building is also over-air-conditioned.
Phil: ew!
