Places I Would Rather Be Instead of Dallas, Texas Where It Is Approximately One Billion Degrees Outside And Could Maybe Be Confused (By A First Time Visitor) For Hell
(As opposed to what the blog says, this post is authored by Kristi!)
People. The weather here? Is making me want to die. It is entirely too hot. I checked the weather today (and I NEVER check the weather! I usually discover it is raining by walking outside with the dogs in the morning and feeling droplets of water landing on my head!) for vindication that the heat index just HAD to be over 110. It wasn’t (and then I then got really distracted by all the features on weather.com and ended up wasting approximately 30 minutes of my life. That’s a cool website!), but the actual degrees outside was 103. The heat index was 105. I am going to give myself a 5 degree increase, since I spend all my time in downtown, hanging out with the concrete and other heat radiating substances, and there. 110. My point being proved, I feel as though it is time for me to start thinking of some places that I would rather be right now than in Texas (not just Dallas, I am well aware that other parts of the state are suffering through the same misery as I am).
Were you aware that there is an entire hotel in Sweden made of ice? What I wouldn’t give to be encased in ice right now! Obviously, this hotel is only available in the winter, when it is carved OUT OF ICE, only to melt again in the summer, and it is probably the number one place I would rather be. You know what else? They actually carve BEDS out of ICE and then you become a cocoon person, wrapped completely in super warm sleeping bag/bionic jacket looking thing. I WANT TO BE A COCOON PERSON! They also serve you VODKA out of ICE GLASSES! Awesome.
Don't these people look so nice and cool??
Blake and I both really love scuba diving. I have been a bunch of times, but you know what sounds really appealing right now? Scuba diving under a giant-sized ice cube. Now, they will give you a dry suit and some protective gear so that you don’t get hypothermia and just die right there, but I am pretty sure that you are still pretty chilly. And that sounds amazingly awesome right now. Plus, I would get to see all sorts of things, like penguins and sea lions, and maybe even a hunting polar bear (although at a safe distance, where I can simply observe his hunt without actually being hunted myself. Actually, now that I think about it, I don’t want to see a polar bear.)
That would be me, hanging out with the ice stalactites
Who doesn’t want to go to The North Pole and hang out with Santa Claus?? Apparently, you can travel to the North Pole and participate in all sorts of adventures (in 2010, but I am going to ignore that little fact). The Russians are setting up some sort of base including sky diving and something called “Hot Air Balloon Fiesta” (I’m not sure the translations are 100%). Plus it would be cold!! And of course, I am sure you could set up a side excursion to visit Santa and eat some candy with the elves. If I learned anything from Will Ferrel, its that elves really appreciate sugar covered sugar.
Oh that's just me, hanging out with Santa in the North Pole.

Kristi! I’m so glad I found your blog! You crack me up and it IS hotter than Hades right now!
You. Hilarious! Thanks for entertaining me!
And so in the Winter if your obsession for blogging is still running ramped, you will be complaining about the cold and want to go somewhere that is 104 degrees. I know you!!!
MOM. That is NOT true. I love cold weather. I also love being cold. I wish I was in an igloo right now.
[...] blah SNOW!!! Blah blah blah” In case you are new to this blog or simply don’t remember, I once composed a post, after a week of temperatures reaching over 100 degrees last summer, and even though last week [...]
