So, I just finished reading “my sister’s keeper.”  Becky and Stacey were right…I thought i was going to make it through it without crying…(while being pregnant…not an easy feat), and then I hit the last three pages. Those are a killer.
Anyway, before I got to the completely sad part, i came across a paragraph talking about a memory one character had…something along the lines of burning her thighs on a playground slide when younger.

It made me think of those hot summer days when you sweat just by sitting there. 

Story time:  Once upon a time…(pre-children), Nathan and I went camping with my sister and her husband just over the wisconsin state line.  We were just sitting around the fire, on what had to be the hottest day of the year, cooking our dinner and talking.  I was holding the newspaper for the fire on my lap in a Wal-mart sack.  When the cooking was done and it was time to eat, I peeled the sack from my thighs to reveal that the sack had indeed melted on my leg, leaving a “tatoo” of the wal-mart smiley face in its place. 

Now that’s a hot day!
