Is it EVER going to RAIN?

I mean, really, this is absurd.  We haven't had rain here in Fort Fun in several weeks- and never got the deluge of water that we expect here in the Midwest in Spring.  It's so dry that there are cracks in our garden that I could fit my HAND into!  Everything around here is brown, taupe or beige.... the only green to be found is in the wallets of the utility companies from our high air conditioning bills.  We're not use to this in the midwest....
This weekend is the Three Rivers Festival, Fort Wayne's big canrie bonanza- which, for me, is just an excuse to eat funnel cakes and the best fried cheese EVER.  Don't be surprised if some of my blog entires and e-mails this week are unreadable, as my greasy fingers will probably just slide all over the keyboard!

Ha! Come out to Arizona where it hasn't rained in MONTHS. Our monsoon season is late and I swear I'm going to shrivel up the next time I go outside. Oh, and did I mention it is 115 here today? Ugh.

Um, yeah, maybe I shouldn't complain then. But wait, Allison without complaining would be like Arizona without the heat- just wouldn't happen....

What's the deal with IHOP marketing funnel cakes? Have you seen this? They take a funnel cake, put fruit and whipped cream on top and sell it. Don't they know funnel cakes only work when you buy them from a carnie?!??!

I KNOW! But as a former restaurant inspector (wait while I put on my hair net and get out the badge)... it would be hard choosing b/t an IHOP and a carnie's food trailer. As far as hygiene goes, it's six of one... you know the rest.

I so totally hate summer out here and complain non-stop (to my husband's delight). But, at least I have AC in my home, car and office to escape to. Can you imagine not having AC?
