It is so hot!

We've been experiencing some record-threatening days of heat in the Valley, lately. With my family living on the second and third floor of a condo not equipped with air conditioning, it will come as no surprise that we've been avoiding our house as much as possible. I've compiled a list of ways *I* know it's been hot.

1. I actually refill the water filter pitcher every time I use it.


2. My husband is concerned about the ice production rate of our freezer.


3. It takes 5-7 minutes for the water to cool off enough in the shower.


4. I've been taking at least one cold bath and one cold shower daily for a week.


5. You can't buy a fan anywhere.


6. I haven't felt like cooking.


7. Ice cream is back in the freezer, although I'd banished it last week because of my on-going weight loss goals.


8. A bowl of ice cream melts in the time it takes to fill up my bathtub.


9. I've been going to bed with a wet washcloth each night.


10. My wet washcloth is dry by 3am, and my pillow is soaked with sweat by 4.


11. The carseat has burned my daughter.


12. My clean bras air dry fresh from the hand wash cycle in less than 12 hours.


13. Wearing a wet bra straight from the washer sounds appealing.


14. My husband gets a reading of 99 degrees when he turns on the oral thermometer.... before he puts it in his mouth.


and the funniest reason...


15. My daughter's rubber duckies that change color in hot water are the secondary color in the drawer, and change back to the primary color when going into the cold bathwater.
