Heat has happened here.
Sun sure’s scorching.
Temperature topped triples today.
It’s #*$%ing hot out.
Which probably explains why I’ve been craving frosty milkshakes like it’s my J-O-B. Cold, cold milkshakes in a festival of fun flavors.

The Olympics are here! The Olympics are here!
Will you be watching? Will you be cheering? Will you be reenacting your favorite medal moments?
Reliving the winning moves from my events of choice is a critical part of my personal Olympic viewing. Most years these performances are safe (excepting only an unfortunate reenactment of a winning luge run in ’88, which involved my teeth luging into the family coffee table) and all years they are thoroughly enjoyed by my audience.
After all these years I still thoroughly enjoy watching both the summer and winter games. The extreme pageantry and commercialism does turn me off, but the sheer athletic accomplishment is hard for me to tear my eyes away from – it’s pretty exciting.
Specifically, I’m a fan of swimming, diving, tennis (table) and, of course, gymnastics. Archery, rowing, and fencing are pretty fun too. Really, it’s hard to pick a favorite so I’ll likely be glued to the TV watching all manner of Olympic feats for the next few weeks. A. will likely restrict my reenactments to events that involve the least potential for personal harm, though. Given my lack of coordination, I’m thinking that judo and taekwondo are out.

Seriously, the time suckage around here is epic.
There are tweets to be tweeted, pins to be pinned, statuses to update…
And then there are the jack-0-lanterns that need to be carved, candy that needs to be taste-tested (for safety, of course), and certain doggies that need to sit still for their final costume fittings.
What can I say? #IcantwaitforHalloween
So we need to be efficient today, right? Right.
It’s time to bust out our go-toiest go-to recipe. That one that’s sure to please and simple to prepare. You know? Yes, you know.
