[W is for weather wimp]

guys, i have a confession.


ok, maybe not a confession, more like a fact. the fact being that i am a weather wimp.
yesterday it couldn't have been 90 degrees, and i was DYING. it was most likely around 80-85 degrees. granted, the building i work in does not have air conditioning and i work on the second floor so the heat rises. but....i do not enjoy sweating when i'm not doing vigorous activity. i was sitting. and sweating. disgusting. humidity is not my friend.
i could never ever ever live in a place like arizona or texas or florida where the summers are nearly unbearable. unless i lived in an air conditioning plastic bubble that i had everywhere i went. and i'm pretty sure those haven't been invented yet.
the sergeants at my work were telling us stories about how summers in iraq and afghanistan are awful. most days were 120+ degrees, even in the shade. that is unbelievable. and to be there for long periods at a time? wow. 
i would rather be cold any day. because when you're cold, you can put on more layers, drink warm drinks, etc. 
when you're hot, there's only so much clothing you can take off, cold drinks only last temporarily, and fans only cool you off when you're right in front of them
don't get me wrong, i love vacationing in hot spots, (ie. hawaii) but only for a week or two. i  honestly don't think i could get used to it everyday. i love the sun. i love laying out. i just need a body of cold water to immerse my body in afterwards.


to make a long story short : i don't like heat. or humidity.
