I hate it when people can't get a simple order correct.

Especially since I order the SAME DAMN THING nearly everyday AND the woman at the McDonald's drive thru KNOWS me, since I order the SAME DAMN THING nearly everyday.

Okay. I ordered my iced coffee.

On the screen it says "Iced Coffee". I pay for it.

I go to the next window, where the woman who talks to me every day about how much I LOVE iced coffee hands me a cup. A different type of cup them I usually get.

It's not see thru like the iced coffee cup.

I SAY TO HER, "Oh, a new kind of cup."

She says "Oh, these cups are nicer."

She takes my punch card for ICED COFFEE and sends me on my way.

I get to my office. I pull out my handy dandy little straw and take a swig of what surely is gonna be the BESTEST iced coffee EVER!!!

It's frickin iced tea.

YUCK!!!

Now, don't get me wrong. I do like iced tea.

I really do.

However, that is NOT what my taste buds were looking forward to at 7:00 a.m.

Nor is it what I ordered.

So, I get back in my car, making myself even LATER for work than I already was, having gone a bit out of my way to get my favorite morning beverage, ICED COFFEE!!!

I go inside the building, wait in line. Tell the nice lady at the counter that I ordered an iced COFFEE and got an iced TEA.

Guess what the drive thru lady says?

"I was wondering why you ordered an iced tea."

Okay, lots of things wrong here.

First of all, I asked why there was a different cup.

Secondly, I handed her a punch card for ICED COFFEE, not iced tea.

Thirdly, when the hell have I EVER ordered an iced tea?

Anyway, I lay the blame partly on her and partly on the woman who made the damn thing to begin with.

I know. I know. Small issue in the grand scheme of things.

And if that's the worst thing that happens today, I will count myself lucky.

Okay. So work yesterday was alright. I was busy for most of the day, but I did have enough lull during the day to watch two episodes of Dead Like Me.

I do enjoy that show.

I went straight home from work. Sat around for a bit in the extreme heat of the day. At least the house was a little cooler than outside. The temp was only around 86, but the humidity was around 93%. Really really bad.

Wore me out.

Dave called me and I went over to his house and cooled off.

We had dinner. Left over fish from the fish fry. It was still so nummy!!!!

Doug called. He wanted to know if Dave could help put together the sauna that April bought.

Okay. So we walked over there. And proceeded to put together a sauna in sauna-like weather.

In their garage.

It took a couple of hours to do and April ran to get us some subs for dinner. I had already eaten, so Dave and I shared one.

We got that thing all put together and it really looks nice. No one wanted to try it out, of course, seeing as how it was the hottest day of the year so far.

My contribution? I was wearing a DRESS so there was no way I was going to be lifting shit or moving crap around, so I read the directions and told them how to do it.

It worked out pretty good. I can read directions with the best of 'em!

April didn't do a thing. Just watched and hardly said a word when it was completed.

Anyway, I guess not everyone is construction minded enough to do this kind of thing, even though it was a KIT.

Oh, I was also informed that I should take off early from work today because we are all going out on the lake in the pontoon. I say "informed" because it was the first I had heard about it and I was not even asked. Just told. Goofy guys.

At least it's nice to be wanted.

Anyway, I told Doug that I got off work at 3:30 and even if I skipped lunch like he told me to, I would only get off work at 3:00.

Yeah. He was thinking more along the lines of 1:00.

Not gonna happen.

I have no idea what time they are all going, but I can't go early like that. I am the only one in this group that has regular work hours. Doug, April and Dave are all self employed, so they can make their own hours.

Oh well.

Oh, and the Billy Squire concert? Doug was all for going a few weeks ago, then he backed out. I bought tickets for Dave and myself and no one else. NOW he wants to go with us again.

Whatever. You had your chance.

And, frankly, this was going to be a nice evening with just Dave and I.

But Doug keeps telling me that I will have to handle the Double D's (Doug and Dave) that night.

Whatever.

We were planning on staying at the motorhome after the concert was over, and I wasn't really thinking of Doug as being part of that.

Oh well. It's all fine. No matter what way it goes, I guess.

Went home after completing the sauna and let my dogs out. I have no central air in my house, and it was HORRIBLE in there.

The dogs were sleeping downstairs where it is cooler, but my bedroom is on the top floor and, as you all know from junior high science class, heat RISES!!!

so, it was miserable in there. I had been invited to stay at Dave's where it was nice and cool and so that's what I did.

Dave stayed up and watched TV while I hightailed it to bed.

And it was good sleeping weather in there!!!

I did get a text from Jim around 10:30.

Okay. The man KNOWS that I get up early and that I am usually in bed by 10:00.

so, why the hell is he texting me at 10:30?

Because he wanted to ask me, "Did any of it mean anything?"

Whatever.

I decided to ignore it, because, #1, I am tired of his pity parties for one, and #2, I am usually in BED by then and not answering any texts.

But shortly, I got another text from him, saying, "I guess not."

So, I texted him back, telling him I was trying to sleep.

He sent back a "Sorry" and that was it.

Dave told me that his ex-wife did the exact same thing when they were going through their divorce, so I guess I should not be surprised.

But man, I hate those pity parties.

Okay. Got up when my alarm went off. Dave didn't even wake up and I went home to shower, eat, take care of my dogs and run out the door to go get my iced COFFEE before work.

hee hee hee

And here I am.

With a good iced COFFEE and some work in my email, and another HOT day to contend with.

I am really really glad that Dave has given me an open invitation to stay at his house anytime I want. THAT is worth quite a lot in these hot days.

So, that's my hot and steamy entry. Sorry it wasn't about SEX, guys!!!
