When hell freezes over and I skate, it will be a glorious night.
I think I need an exorcist.

I've completely gone from pillow flipping all night - to getting up, fanning the covers to cool the bed, and waving my pillow up and down in front of the fan,  in the ice cold air conditioning - and then holding it on my face for about five seconds - because that's about how long it takes for the pillow to completely heat up.

Last night I turned the A/C on so low, and the fan on so high that the tip of my nose and both ear lobes  froze numb - while the REST of me was on FIRE.  

Poor hubby... lol

Dark, massive asteroid to fly by Earth on May 31.
"This is a really big asteroid, similar in size to the one that killed off the dinosaurs, and it's getting very close to us," she said. "Fortunately we've been tracking its orbit very carefully so we know with great certainty it won't hit us. "We don't need to panic, but we do need to pay attention," she said.

Buggy hordes of cicadas sighted in Virginia.
My neighbors on each side of me are DROWNING in them but fortunately, my yard isn't.  I see the occasional one flying by but because I only have a small new tree, they weren't burrowed into my yard.  Needless to say, I still DUCK AND RUN if I see one take flight.  Ick!
