Thursday Chuckle....and a little REMINDER!

Ever have one of those days?

Well, that's how I kicked off my week this past Monday so I thought I'd share my not so glorious moment with you - you may be able to relate and if not, hopefully you'll have a chuckle at which point you'll say to yourself - "Man, Really Sucks to be You!"  :)

So, SUMMER has arrived here in Michigan beginning this weekend (Spring has completely avoided making an appearance)  The HOT HOT & HOT began on Saturday (85*), Sunday, 87* and today I saw 93* on the thermometer - with no end in sight this week. Hubby and I have been refusing to turn on the Air Conditioning until at least June - you know when Summer REALLY starts.....

(as in 11 days from now.....uh, yah).

Why do I tell you all this boring weather information about SP-UMMER in Michigan - because you'll need to know this as the story progresses.  :)  Really - there is a method to my madness.....unfortunately we sometimes take the Scenic Route to the Final Destination.....

So, NO AC when we went to bed last night - hubster kicked his share of all covers to my side of the bed all night, leaving me in a puddle of SWEAT all-night.

Got up this morning, SWEATING

Got into the shower this morning, SWEATING

Got OUT of the shower this morning, SWEATING

Stood infront of the fan this morning, SWEATING

Got Dressed this morning, SWEATING

TRIED to curl my hair this morning, SWEATING 

(Are you noticing a trend here?)

(can you say LOST CAUSE - REALLY BAD HAIR DAY??)

Got into car and finally got some AIR - with my LOST CAUSE - REALLY BAD HAIR DAY flowing in the breeze.

Left Sunroof cracked when I stop at our first office - Rain that was supposed to come between 3 - 5 pm, showed up at 9 am.  Seat was a bit wet when I got back into the car adding to the WET/SWEATING/REALLY BAD HAIR/EXTRA HUMIDITY kind of day...

Got back in car with REALLY BAD HAIR DAY and EXTRA HUMIDITY and headed to main office.

(Are you noticing another trend here?)

Got to main office - temperature is 85* and MORE HUMIDITY than when I GOT INTO the car 30 minutes earlier, with laptop bag, water bottle, iced tea, my 'luggage' style purse & 20 pound bag full of current magazines (I work for a magazine publisher).

At least I got a CLOSE parking spot......Thank GOD for small favors!

JUGGLED my load while trying to dig access badge out of said luggage.

Spilled iced tea briefly onto pants and into one sandal.

FOUND access badge

SHOVED my way through TOO SMALL full body turn-styles they just installed with above mentioned luggage and 'weight-lifting' materials.

Okay, so HERE'S where it gets good...if you can believe it at this point...

and it's only 12:05 pm.

So, I've NEVER been stuck in an elevator....that is, until this past Monday (NOTE TO SELF - NEVER SAY NEVER!!!) - on one of the hottest days of the year so far in Michigan, during Monday lunch rush, at work....in an elevator with NO Air Conditioning....for 40+ minutes....with 4 other people....while we waited for the elevator repair man to arrive and pry open the doors to let us out.....

Did I mention it was 85* when I got into the elevator and that there was NO Air Conditioning?

Uh, Yah.....

But our release from our little 8x8 sweat box didn't end the REALLY BAD HAIR DAY - SWEAT-fest drama......

There was NO WAY I was getting back into another little 8'x8' sweat box, so what did I get to do??

CLIMB 10 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS, with 20 pounds of magazines, a laptop/bag, 'luggage' size purse, WET PANTS and WET, Squeaky Sandals, SWEATING my brains out!

I have NEVER been so happy to get to my desk as I was on Monday!

Yep, that's one thing I can check off my Bucket List - Get stuck in Elevator when it's hotter than H-E-Double hockey Sticks - Yep, been there, done that, no need for a T-Shirt!

NOTE TO SELF:  Taking stairs for rest of life.....You CAN'T get STUCK 'IN' Stairs! 

Best part of the day - coming home to my hubby who decided at 93* today, we needed to turn on the Air Conditioning, EVEN if it was before June!  

{Insert Laugh Track HERE}

.....Okay, so back to our regularly scheduled programming.....
