Summer is finally here and it was scorching hot over the weekend. When it's that hot, all I want to do is drink root beer all day - specifically Mug Root Beer. It's the smoothest of all root beers I've ever had, and for some reason, I associate it with summer. I think it's probably from when I was a kid and when we went to the PNE and they always sold those gigantic glasses of root beer for like a buck each. Nothing was better - not even a Coke. I love my sodapop, but nothing beats an icy glass of root beer on a fiery hot summer's day. No wait - actually, one thing would beat it - a root beer float! (Note to self: go buy vanilla ice cream tomorrow after work.)

I could go for a glass right now but it's 11pm and I've got to go to bed soon. Hopefully I'll fall asleep tonight, unlike last night. Last night was bad. I went to bed at 1am, and i woke up at 3am and couldn't fall asleep. It was just too hot. I tried to get back to sleep and even went to the living room in hopes that it was cooler, but not too much. So I went back to bed.

It was about 5:30 by the time I fell asleep again, and the sun had already risen by then. But I was so tired. I woke up at about 9am and because I left the window open all night, along with the blinds open, the sun was shining over the entire bed. I woke up all hot and sweaty and most ridiculous of all - I wound up with a sunburn on my face! Yep, I managed to get a sunburn while I slept. Wtf?!
Oh well, that's summer for ya. I still love it. Can't beat sun and warm temperatures, and a tall frosty glass of root beer!
