A LITTLE OFF TOPIC BUT HOLY SMOKES BATMAN, HOW ARE YOU BEATING THIS HEAT THIS WEEK? I STILL HAVEN'T SLEPT A WINK :notagree

The heat is one thing but, when you toss in the awful humidity, it's horrible. I keep the shades down, the A/C and fans on and have focused on getting the inside of the house in shape. Today, I'm cleaning windows and hanging new curtains. Frequent showers also help.

Elisabeth, you have AC??? I don't think I know anyone that actually has AC other than in their cars!

I moved my bed out to the back yard, under the broad-leave maples. One of the perks of owning part of a greenbelt! I still can't convince the DH to move outside with me. I'm working on it though. I guess when he realizes that I'm there for the rest of the summer he might cave though....

The reason I'm under the trees is that 5am when it gets light is a bit too early for this Gurl!

Hoping everyone else is doing well! We went to the movies, and cooled off there. I think I'll be going to a matinae tomorrow afternoon, just to beat the heat.

When I purchased my house, the very next thing I did was to go out and buy 3 air conditioners and I don't regret it one bit. I'm on balanced budget billing with the electric company so I pay about the same each month. This allows me to spread the cost out over the year.

Where do you live that nobody has A/C? I'm on Long Island in New York.

I'm just outside of Seattle. ...

I tried to get my DH to let me go buy an AirConditioner during the heat - he said it was only a few days and wouldn't agree. :huggie:

I spent time in the kids' pool the EZ Set and stayed in my car as much as I could! sleeping when its hot like that is a real bear!
