lame

Don't you just hate it when you ask family for help and they come up with some lame excuse that even a 3-year-old will not believe? You'd think they would at least have the simple courtesy not to insult your intelligence. They really should give us a little more credit.

But no, it amazes me how simple minds work. If they don't want to help, why not come straight out and say it instead of beating around the bush? They think if they can figure out a lame excuse, we'd be stupid enough to fall for it. I feel very sorry for people like that.

the sun wins

There's a semi-cool breeze blowing in from the window. It's not very often that the breeze is still cool at almost noon time. It's been so crazy hot that I've been resorting to keeping my windows shut for most of the day.

I dread going out in the sun because it singes your skin. Sometimes I swear I can hear my skin sizzle! The rains haven't been much help. They're piddly compared to the ferocity of the sun. I feel sorry for those people who have to work outdoors and be out in the sun all day.
