That is a direct quote from Mister after I informed him of this weekend’s weather forecast for Palm Springs, where we’re headed to tomorrow. Oh did I tell you, its suppose to be 106 degrees in Palm Springs this weekend. Yeah, that’s what I said too.
My aunt and uncle are celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary this weekend so they’re going away to Palm Springs, with their kids, and asked if we wanted to go with. Never have been there we said Sure! So we went in on a two bedroom condo with them for one last weekend get away before Mister switches to his night/holiday work schedule (Sunday) and the kids go back to school (Monday).
Well I decided to check the weather, last night, so I’ll know what to pack tonight and when I saw 106 I nearly fell out of my chair! Its been a comfortable 85-90 here and the evenings are a chilly 70′ish (yes, that’s cold to me!) and I’m not looking forward to 106! When I informed Mister he said What the hell were we thinking? Why are we going to the desert in the SUMMER?? We don’t even go to VEGAS in the summer because of the heat! Then he added Why don’t these people go to the desert in the Winter, like us normal people? lol Yeah because snow in December, in the desert, is MUCH more comfortable than 106 in the Summer, right? With that mentality we’d never go anywhere!
At any rate I’m looking forward to the weekend get away. Luckily the condo has A/C and a kick ass pool. We’ll pack an ice chest (of course) maybe a few games and the Wii to keep busy if its too hot outside. And the good news is that the evenings, about 11:00 pm, it’ll be much cooler, a low of 94 degrees! YAY! I did hear there were some great outlet shops that way…they always have their A/C blowing, huh? Oh Coach, here I come…

Are you going on the ariel tram? It’s pretty scary if you’re afraid of heights…but once you’re up there….it’s beautiful! Have a good time.

It’s right off of Hwy 111…oh yeah, don’t forget to go to the casinos…”The Spa” (yes, it’s a casino, not an actual spa) is a nice one to gamble in. Very pretty.

Ann, you’ve got the right idea to stay cool.
Barb, that looks SCARY!
Craze, I’m going to sit in the pool til the weather cools down, at 11pm. Don’t let me fall asleep (pass out) while in there, ok.
Carrie, staying drunk? Hmm, I think I might be able to handle that. I’ll just stay in my bathing suit while I sweat out the beer all weekend. Eww I just grossed myself out.
Jay, YES! Thankfully! I can tolerate dry heat its humidity that’s a bitch.
Heidi, shuddup ho you know my CA native ass is a whimp when it comes to weather. C’mon I own friggen Uggs & we don’t get snow in LA! lol

106?? Holy shit, my little cheesy, Wisconsin ass would be melting at that temp!
70s at night is chilly?? I’ve got to get your butt up here in the winter when it’s about 30 degrees BELOW zero – and that’s WITHOUT the wind chill figured in:)
Have a great weekend.

Angie, you know, you’re the only Angie that I love but not enough to go anywhere near that’s below 50! lol
