Why I hate summer

Sweaty thighs sticking to plastic chairs? Miserable barbecues and forced merriment? Thanks, but I'll pass.

    I feel you sister

    Despite growing up in Buffalo, I have always hated summer. As a child, the sun gave me migraines, the amusement park was torture, and a trip to the beach inevitably brought out the water spider bites I was terribly allergic to. People who leave out "fair" city always say they miss the change of seasons, but global warming seems to have destroyed spring and fall - its snowing one day and the next week its 85 degrees. I'll sit in front of my new portable air conditioner, thanks. And as someone who totes along a pair of 42DDs everywhere she goes (and who can't afford the breast reduction without insurance covering it, which they won't), I damn all of you to hell with your spaghetti straps.
