I'm Melting


You guys. It's hot. So hot. So hot that I'm melting like the Wicked Witch of the West. The heat index here has been hovering around 110°-116° the past few days, and it's not looking like it's going to let up for awhile. So if you need me, I'll be laying in front of the vent on the ceramic tile in the kitchen, face down. Thank goodness for iced skinny caramel macchiattos from my Italian old man boyfriend Giovanni at Starbucks.


I'm sure you've heard Grouplove's summer hit Tongue Tied by now. But have you heard their cover of Andrew W.K.'s Party Hard? I'm obsessed. I remember listening to the Andrew W.K. original on repeat while riding up a mountain in a ten person van to run 15 miles back down it. Yeah. That happened.

Infomercials. You are the only thing I miss about cable. Here's a list of some of the most giggle inducing ones.

So I freakin' love Chobani Greek yogurt. It's so good for you and so delicious. Here's a conversion chart to use it in more of your recipes.

If I had a pool to go to, this would definitely be coming with me.

Have you visited my new book blog Bungalow Books? You should. You really should.


My plans for the weekend include NOTHING. Nothing but attempting to stay cool. And to not let my hair turn into an afro of frizz. I should buy stock in Frizz Ease with the way I've been going through it. What are your plans? Have you entered my giveaway yet?

I'm jealous of your old Italian boyfriend - I want one!

It's going to be hot in NY tomorrow. And I committed to day drinking. It's damn near impossible to get drunk when I'm sweating. Wish me luck.

Have a nice weekend!

Tiffany said...

Wow. I'm not complaining anymore about the heat where I live. Stay cool!

Ha! That float looks awesome... wonder how comfy it is?? We're down in phoenix area right now, so also getting in on some heat action - of course it's much more bearable without that midwestern humidity! :)

Ashley Taylor said...

Ugh. It's hot here too. Which means that I do nothing but sit on the couch and sweat. Happy weekend!

Twiggs! said...

We're starting to see those high temps here in VA too. My sister-in-law is getting married tomorrow morning, outside :p

I've melted like 45 times this year.

Dusty said...

No plans here either. You can go anywhere for fear of turning into butter. Sweaty butter that is.

Lindsay said...

Soooo... I'm still laughing at your comment on Alissa's blog. "Drinking is the best. I swear I'm not an alcholic." Seriously made me crack up! My plans for the weekend are to go get all hot and sweaty watching Magic Mike. :)

Melissa said...

We've got similar temps in Ohio and I have a fundraising event OUTSIDE on Sunday. Between now and then, it's me and my bridal magazines!

Sara Strand said...

Dude. I effing love Grouplove! And the Party Hard song (both versions)! I need to download some new music. You should send me a list of what I should have since you are always a few steps ahead of me with music and we have similar taste. :)

All Things Luxurious said...

I hope you have a great, cool weekend. It is so hot here, too -- temperature 112+. Ugh. Summetime = not my favorite!

Breanna said...

I can't imagine having a heat index in the upper 100s! Good Lord! I hope you get some relief from the heat soon!

kenz said...

Shannon, you ALWAYS make me laugh. I hope you haven't turned into a puddle yet because I do love reading your posts. Stay cool!

Miki DeMann said...

Ooh! I am going over to your new book blog right now! good idea!

Shannon said...

It's been super fun so far! Hope you like it.

Shannon said...

I have made it to Monday, which is a feat. My hair, on the other hand, needs to be put down. It is just disgraceful today.

Shannon said...

It is pretty bad. Bad enough that I whine everyday that I want to move, haha.

Shannon said...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like the heat! Some people here are just crazy about it. I would rather snuggle up with a blanket in the cold.

Shannon said...

I just made a really good playlist. I will send it over to you!

Shannon said...

Oh how I wish I was reading bridal magazines right now. I hope you have power back by now!

Shannon said...

I had a dream that I went and saw Magic Mike. But I didn't and I REALLY want to. Was it good?

Shannon said...

I feel like I am constantly in butter state. Every waking hour of the day. Even at night sometimes.

Shannon said...

I'm melting right now.

Shannon said...

We should test it out. How many bloggers can the pretzel float hold?

Shannon said...

I positioned myself directly in front of the window unit in our bedroom yesterday in an attempt to cool down.

Shannon said...

Is it unbearable in Waterloo this time of year too? People are getting heat stroke and DYING here. It's crazy.

Shannon said...

It's awful. I want to move.

Shannon said...

Someone tried to tell me that he was their boyfriend too this weekend. I was like uh no, bitch. Back the eff off.

Kate @ Discover. Create. Live. said...

Um, it hasn't exactly been what I would call pleasant! ha - crazy what the heat can do to ya :-/
