So I was a waitress at a Chammps in South Dakota for about a month during my very short lived move out there with my at the time boyfriend, Andrew. It sucked, people in the Midwest felt that leaving the change is a tip. For example there was a group of people drinking and having appetizers. Their total was $29.12 and my tip was what was left of $30, .82 cents. Seriously. I don't think it had anything to do with my service, but more to do with their lack of sympathy for the tall, skinny blond girl who left amazing Arizona for South Dakota. Of course there were some cool people out there, but for the most part I felt jipped.
What does this have to do with the weather Kim? You ask. Well there was a cook there who heard me complaining about the weather there to another waiter. I mean we got there in March and there was still snow on the ground. The first day of June it was 40 degrees. I am someone who NEEDS sunshine, I was miserable in that weather. And the cook said to me "Don't like the weather? Wait a minute." He was right, I had never heard that expression before, considering I was from ARIZONA. I guess that story came to mind because I was thinking, man in AZ if you don't like the weather, well that is too damn bad. It has been hot since May. It is still in the 90's. I remember as a kid trick or treating and at least needing tights under our tutu's or a sweater over the clown costume. My girls could be strippers and not cold one bit. I may end up loosing them to a foster family, but they won't be cold tomorrow night.
I am finding this ridiculous. What is going on? It is almost November. Can you imagine the shock our family will feel when we head to Colorado for Thanksgiving? Yikes.

As a girl brought up in the Midwest I can tell you we ALWAYS have to plan for winter coats under the Halloween costumes. Now, you may end up not needing them... you may end up needing coat, mittens, hat and boots. You just NEVER KNOW. :)
I sooo agree with you Kim! Some of my flowers that I just planted are dying because it is so freaking hot! I would love to have hot stew and hot chocolate tomorrow night, but it looks like ice water will have to do!
