Totally hits the spot when I'm hot. But I don't like beer. A lot of times people say things they shouldn't. Like I don't think the person really should have said those things to you. But sometimes whether or not we SHOULD say something doesn't mean it is or is not true. Good for you for not being offended and being willing to think about it and blog about it--in her favor.

Reese Witherspoon once said, "everybody's got their own set of problems" (even a celebrity like her) and it's so true to me. I often try and minimize my frustrations by saying, "at least I'm not living in poverty somewhere" or "at least I don't have cancer" as if the whole "it could be worse" thing should make me feel better. But the truth is that each of us can only see things from our perspective and our experiences. Discomfort to one person might be a luxury to another, but it doesn't make it any less uncomfortable for the former. Anyway. I'm rambling and I don't think that made any sense, but my point is, 110 is stinking HOT by anyone's standards. Humidity or not. It's HOT. Damn HOT. And you have the right to complain because it's bloody uncomfortable. Having said that, kudos to you for adjusting your perspective despite your discomfort. You are a truly wise lady!
