Summer Rain

My Pro/Con List regarding the sudden change in weather in the Seattle area.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Pro: I haven’t had to shave in a week.
Con: My leg hair is starting to wear away my jeans from the inside.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Pro: No more having to take a second shower due to sweating through my shirt while blow drying my hair.
Con: I’d rather skip the showers all together and stay in my pajamas all day.
* * * * * * * * * *
Pro: More layers = better muffin top camouflage.
Con: Despite the cloud cover, it’s still 70 degrees = sweating through your sweater and jeans.
* * * * * * * * * *
Pro: Rain means no need to fumble with the five sprinkler lawn irrigation set up.
Con: Our front yard can’t be mowed because it’s wet and now looks like Sasquatch might live in it.
* * * * * * * * * *
Pro: You can tell who the tourists are in town because they are using umbrellas.
Con: You can tell who the tourists are in town because they are using umbrellas. Sissies.
* * * * * * * * * *
Pro: I can finally get some rest because apparently my productivity is solar-powered.
Con: I haven’t gotten a goddamn thing done all week. Well, except make this nifty Pro/Con list…

Love it!
You make me hot.
Good list – can totally relate being south of you in Oregon. Humid – sucks the life right out of you.
I see absolutely no cons to cooler weather. But then, I hate the heat. Nice shout out to Belinda Carlisle, BTW.
It’s the humidity that’s really getting to me. URGH!
Just found your blog and I like it! Insanely jealous of your weather. It’s been 100+ for 40+ straight days in Austin, TX. Hell, literally.
Heather, if it makes you feel any better, last week it was 103! In Seattle!! And no one here has A/C. I pretty much wanted to kill myself (preferrably by drowning in a refreshingly cold pool of water).
