Humidity.....



Two days after I got back from Arizona I flew to Florida to visit my parents for the Labor Day weekend. Winston was already there on business and so I flew into Orlando to meet him. The next morning we drove north a couple of hours to Gainesville where my parents live. We always try to pick at least one weekend in the fall to visit them and attend a Florida football game. It was Florida's first game and they played Western Kentucky University - it was supposed to start at 7 PM, but for some reason they changed it to a 12:30 kick-off......you know what that means??? Hot and Humid!
Winston and my mom weren't feeling very well so my dad and I took off to join the other 90,000 fans.
It's always an amazing experience to be a gator fan at a home football game. There are tons of people packed in the swamp and there's a reason they call it the swamp. I was totally sweating by the time we even got to our seats......in fact, I was soaken wet. it was ridiculous. My shorts were soaked as well as my shirt. Note to self.....gray t-shirts show sweat more!
About ten minutes after sitting there i gave up on trying to look semi cute - I pulled my hair back and just let the sweat run down my body EVERYWHERE.
But the one thing that I really didn't understand were all the cute girls that didn't have a drip of sweat on them. I don't know how they do it. My dad thought maybe it was because they really weren't wearing anything at all! :) He was probably right!

I feel your pain, my friend, I'm sopping wet just going to the bus stop in the afternoon.
