That's funny! I like those.
ReplyDeleteThose are most hilarious!!!! I love the asphalt and the evaporated milk one!!
ReplyDelete17. You have to take an ice chest with you to the grocery store so that your cold stuff doesn't spoil on the trip home. (I really do have to do that one)
ReplyDeleteOn #9, I've had that happen more than once. hahaha
So true... except for now, when today's high is in the 70's7! :) Can you believe it? It's been rainy and cool the past week and it's lasting at least another week. Texas in August - it's wonderful! hehehe!
ReplyDeleteSounds like when we lived in Florida!!! I am so glad we are here in NC, it gets hot, but at least I know Fall is coming.
ReplyDeleteThat's cute.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the same type deal with my home state of Alabama. All of those could apply too!
I love these, Tori! And they are all sooooo true!
ReplyDeleteOh how funny! (o:
ReplyDeleteI can personally vouch for numbers 4, 7, and 11. I still remember how shocked I was when we moved here to Vancouver (in August!) and I turned on the cold water - and it was actually cold! Wes and I have often remarked how cool 95 can feel after a month of 100+ temps. We were always so relieved when it got back down to the 90s! And as for #11 - we were like that this weekend up here. Except it was in the house as well as outside - no A/C!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was fun!
Being in Texas in August myself I can say for sure that not only is this very funny, but it's true lol :) You CAN get a sunburn though your car window! And hot water does indeed come out of both taps.
ReplyDeleteGotta love Texas!
LOL! I totally relate.
ReplyDeleteI remember riding my bike in the summer time, and we would run over those bubbles of tar on the asphalt to pop them.
Absolutely true! Except that right now we are having some blessed and very welcome relief in the form of rain every day lately. It's a wonderful break from all the heat. (And my flowers and trees are so grateful!)
ReplyDelete~Elaine~
TOO FUNNY!!!! You have to love being able to laugh at yourself. Praying for you Tori!
ReplyDeleteUm, I don't know how to tell you this, but I think you mistitled it. It's actually how to know you're in KUWAIT in MAY! ;)
ReplyDeleteThen it just gets worse until August and stays that way through September.
Never been to Texas.... but I am sure now that I wouldnt want to visit in August! :P
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I cannot relate to that kind of heat. I'm baking when it's barely 82*F. If you put me into 105* I'd probably melt into a huge puddle.
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you, those are all true of living in Florida, too!
ReplyDeleteCute!
I had to come back over for a visit when Susanne mentioned you on her blog...so glad I did! These were hilarious!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
