Dear Summer Please Visit Utah

In an effort to cut back our expenses...I've decided to resist using the Air Conditioning until the outside temps reach 86 degrees. I was thinking I could wait until it hits 90 degrees but our bedrooms are on the top floor and two of the bedrooms face the west. It gets hotter than a whore in church up there and I the kids have a hard time falling asleep.

Based on the temp this morning and the fact that there is FROST on my deck....I think it will be August before I need to turn the AC on.  I had to preheat my coffee mug, iKeith had to wear a jacket to work and the kids are bundled up in blankets on the couch like it's a snow day.


Summer...you arrive in just a few days?  Have you forsaken Utah?

  2. I feel your pain. The last couple of days we haven't even made it out of the fifties! What?! The handful of times we've actually seen the sun this year we've been outside enjoying every minute of it.

  4. Well you will not have to turn on the a/c for those temps. Stay warm.

    I live outside of Washington, DC and it has been so hot and humid. I think it is from all the "hot air" coming out of many senators, congressman, etc.

  5. Yet another reason to check out Austin...we were in the 90's and in the pool by noon!!

  9. Thats it...I'M MOVING TO UTAH!

    It is hotter than HELL up in here. 97 degrees today...we can't even work upstairs in the nursery b/c our A/C unit doesn't cool the upstairs very well AT ALL.

    When I move to UT, I promise a few things:

    1) I won't drink ANY wine for the next 2 months
    2) I will make you upside down Pineapple martinis as a sign of my thanks
    3) Cooper comes with me, but he's a VERY good dog and doesn't bark
    4) I'll only stay for a few months until the Heat up here subsides
    5) I won't kick your kids asses during the "I love mommy more" arguments...I was kidding when I said that.

    :)
