Heat Wave

No relief in sight on the over 100 degree temps.  I spent the 4th (Independence Day or 4th of July or just the 4th) in my grandparents pool, hopping out only to eat and exchange my wet towel for a dry one.  And of course a run to Walmart for more sunscreen.  Here's what I threw on and after the hour long trip, the denim shorts were stuck to my......backside like glue.  Do you have any idea how hard it is to peel off sweaty denim?  Gross.

I made those shorts by cutting off a pair of jeans and then sewing the lace on the hems.  I wanted the hems to be left jagged so I didn't look like some cute little Raggedy Ann doll in bloomers.   

Excuse me now while I go lay face down in my bed with the ceiling fan whirring at warp speed.

    HATE the heat! A pool sounds like the perfect solution though.

    Fun that you sewed part of those shorts like that.

    Aww man, I know how you feel. I live in South Carolina and it has been in the constant 90*s so I rarely wear jeans. I mostly wear skirts or dresses.
