Hand me another bloody mary, dahlin'...

Lord have mercy on my soul, could it be any hotter? The heat is absolutely suffocating, and it makes me not want to move an inch. I feel as if I should be a member of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood so I can lounge on a chaise all the livelong day with minimal movement and doctored drink in hand. Ya'll.

In honor of the type of heat that makes me immobile (or should since I decided to run at 2 PM today and almost died), I've created a playlist. From now on, it's wide-brimmed hats, vodka lemonades, hand-held fans, and yelling at my kids. And this music.
