Yes, the heat does it to me every time, I am wilted. I cannot think of anything else but of taking off my clothes and jumping under a cool shower stream. Did that already, after all the highlight of my early afternoon was licking a scoop of vanilla ice cream, while simultaneously driving...and having the melting ice cream dripping onto my perspiring cleavage.
Good thing I'm quite adept at multi-tasking. Driving, slurping, and one hand dabbing on the adventurous ice cream.
For this lazy Saturday, I will post these delicious quotes which are more clever than the four letter word too commonly and uninspiring used.
The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor: She said, "If you were my husband I'd give you poison," and he said, "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."
A member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease." "That depends, Sir," said Disraeli, "on whether I embrace your policies or your mistress."
