When most people think of summer, they think of picnics, lemonade stands, pool parties and barbeques. Living in Las Vegas is a little bit different. It's too hot to have parties outside, walk outside, and even thinking about going outside can be emotionally draining. If you've never experienced a Las Vegas summer, consider yourself extremely blessed. For some (like myself) they've never known any different- I was born and raised here and I have spent every one of my summers suffering through the insane heat. However, even the toughest of us locals will admit that the high temperatures make us want to die. Here are just a few of the thoughts that run through our mind during this horrid time of year.

1. It's so hot outside. Kill me.

2. I can literally feel the heat radiating off the pavement.

3. Seriously. It feels like we're living in a sauna from hell.

4. At least it's a dry heat.

5. If I don't drink more water I'm going to get heat stroke.

6. I would rather drink soda or iced coffee though.

7. My car AC is on full blast but I'm still sweating.

8. Look at all of these drunk tourists.

9. Why are there no shaded parking spots?

10. Let's go see a movie at *insert nearest casino* to get some free air conditioning.

11. At least I don't hit a million school zones on my way to work.

12. Yes! It's only going to be 105 degrees today!

13. Look, more drunk tourists.

14. *After spending five minutes outside* My face looks like a tomato.

17. I'm pretty sure I've sweated off like 8 pounds today.

18. Please God send rain.

19. I should try baking cookies on my dashboard.

20. I would go to Lake Mead if it wasn't so disgusting.

21. I'm definitely moving before next summer.
