Here's what I don't get - you hear a lot of people say "I could never live in Texas - it's just too darn hot there". I hear this from people who have never even been to Texas. I want to be a witness to the fact that whoever says this, has obviously never lived where I do (north TX). Really over-rated weather rumors - and the fact that we're having a mild (to say the least) summer is not all-together unusual. We even get a little snow around Valentines Day, and when we're really lucky, the most spectacular lightening storms. There is nothing better than Texas weather...well, ok - maybe Hawaii weather. But I'm a California girl, and right now - my family is BAKING because it's so dang hot there. Well, I keep trying to get them out here to see that TX is not the heat beast people presume it to be. Yee haw! For example:
Where I am:
Texas Forecast for this weekend:
Friday: High 86 / Low 72
Saturday: High 82 / Low 70
Sunday: High 84 / Low 71
(Keep in mind it's July...)

OUCH!!! Better take some sunscreen or I'm liable to literally turn into a fried egg right on the pavement. At the very worst, I'll burn and peel. (ahh! Don't get me started on peeling - love it! - grossss huh?)
No matter - the penny slots are calling (and so is a business conference) but luckily I am dragging (he'd be at the airport already if I would let him) the hubby with me. We're really looking forward to it -as I am a Vegas (gasp) Virgin...
Come on Lucky Sevens!!!!

Have fun girl....not melt like a chocolate in a pocket;) You just crack me up!
Amen sista! As a born and bred Texas girl, I have never understood what people complain about. I have been in much hotter and much more humid places in my life. And you are right - Texas weather can sometimes be so gorgeous. Don't bake this weekend and put $5 on red for me!
Love you!
Girl...You have to do me proud and ride those rides at the top of the Stratosphere!!
Texas weather is crazy and mostly not too bad but I am SICK of rain!!
Have a great time!!

Have fun in Vegas! Stay in the casinos, the heat won't get you there! It is so much fun!
OMG A VIRGIN!! You are gonna love it!! Especially at night when you walk outside and you breath and the air through your nose is hot like being in a sauna!! And it's 110 at night!! Hope it's not that way for you, instead do as advised, stay in the casino's that's where all the fun is anyway. Remember to follow the yellow brick road at the MGM. Have fun!!!
Love deany
