Lubbock.<\/p>\n

I love you.<\/p>\n

I really, really do.<\/p>\n

But we need to have a little talkie-poo about our little summer situation…<\/p>\n

You see…<\/p>\n

It’s over.<\/p>\n

The kids are back at school.<\/p>\n

And it’s still this damn hot out.<\/p>\n

It’s not “maybe I should grab a bottle of water” hot. It’s the kind of hot that would make you seriously consider calling in sick to your own wedding.<\/p>\n

I have reached a point where my time spent “enjoying the outdoors” is just me, staring out the window while my air conditioner fights for its friggin’ life.<\/p>\n

Our cars are ovens with Bluetooth.<\/p>\n

Our seatbelt buckles are branding irons.<\/p>\n

If I get into the car with one more person who doesn’t immediately put the keys into the ignition and run the AC, I might lose it. What the hell is up with you people who sit there and talk for 5 minutes before starting the car!? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I AM DYING!<\/p>\n

I’m sweaty.<\/p>\n

All.<\/p>\n

Day.<\/p>\n

Long.<\/p>\n

At this point, I’m not dressing for summer. I’m surviving. You might catch me in a loincloth if I’m forced to make a grocery run this evening. I’ve been surviving off of cereal for a week just to avoid walking through the parking lot of Walmart.<\/p>\n

I simply cannot.<\/p>\n

The second I find shade….no. No, I didn’t.<\/p>\n

It’s gone.<\/p>\n

I need the first genuinely cool evening to get here pronto.<\/p>\n

Now.<\/p>\n

PLEASE!<\/p>\n

For the love of Texas Tech football and all things holy.<\/p>\n

Please send us a snowstorm, Lord.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
