Southern Humidity
From the moment I walked out of the airport, I knew I had arrived. The air was so thick and heavy with humidity it is amazing it can't be seen with the naked eye.
Instead of feeling burdened by it - and after the initial shock of breathing in the thick air - I was happy to receive it. I was back in the land of real Mexican food, the lotto, dollar stores on every corner, and a place that would never see the temperature dip below the zero mark.
Despite my enthusiasm, the humidity greeted me by beginning our old battle of 'humidity verses my hair'.
I remember loathing my straight hair. Paying for perms and secretly wishing I had my sister's curls. After getting pregnant with Chase my hair changed. I went from bone straight to slightly curly. I still don't know how it happen, only the time from in which it did. I had heard of pregnancy hormones changing woman's foot size, hip sizes, and doing all other sorts of weird and twisted things to the body. I had never heard of it changing the chemistry of hair.
Understand it or not, my hair now has curl. I know curse it and wish for straight hair. The old 'grass is always greener...' theory. Instead of perky curls, I have waves that take on a mind of their own. Refusing to curl in the direction I want them too, or to stay put. I win against my hair by pressing it against two sides of a straightening iron. Or twist it around a curling iron to make the curls react the way I want them too.
Though when in humid areas the battle is not so easily won. From that first moment in the airport parking lot, I began to feel my hair break free from my styling attempts. By the time I arrived at my in-laws house, I looked as if I had just rolled out of bed, tangled with a few stray dogs, and then stuck my head out the window on the drive home.
Part way into my vacation and I am still trying to remember my old tricks for besting the humidity. Until then I've settled with a bun, half a bottle of hairspray, and a handful of strategically placed bobby pins to plaster my hair to my head.

LOL at times I almost did Angi. Every time we were outside burning up Hubby and I would say things like...'back in Alaska it would only be 75 right now'

$200 Bucks It Is...
A guy goes over to his friend's house, rings the bell, and the wife answers.
" Hi, is Tony home?"
" No, he went to the store."
"Well, you mind if I wait?"
" No, come in."

They sit down and the friend says "You know Nora, you have the greatest breasts I have ever seen. I'd give you a hundred bucks if I could just see one."
Nora thinks about this for a second and figures what the hell - a hundred bucks. She opens her robe and shows one. He promptly thanks her and throws a hundred bucks on the table.
They sit there a while longer and Chris says "They are so beautiful I've got to see the both of them. I'll give you another hundred bucks if I could just see the both of them together."
Nora thinks about this and thinks what the hell, opens her robe, and gives Chris a nice long look. Chris thanks her, throws another hundred bucks on the table, and then says he can't wait any longer and leaves.
A while later Tony arrives home and his wife says "You know, your weird friend Chris came over. "
Tony thinks about this for a second and says "Well did he drop off the 200 bucks he owes me?"
