Hopefully everyone else around these parts had some kind of air conditioning this past week... I think we were around 40 degrees with the humidex most days this week!
Needless to say I DID NOT spend much time outside this week.
What I did do was...
1) I ate popsicles
I make smoothies most mornings (smoothies that include a couple handfuls of spinach I might add). I fill a glass with it and whatever is leftover I put in a popsicle mold. All those popsicles came in handy this week!
2) I turned on my a/c. I don't keep it on too often... just to keep my bills lower but this week I spoiled myself and I had it on A LOT (in comparison to what I normally would)
3) Slumber party in the living room!
I only have a window a/c unit and it is located in my living room. So I dragged an extra mattress into the living room and camped out there for a couple nights. Then John came over and I felt obligated to turn my living room back into a living room.
4) Go to the mall!
The mall is a cold place to hang out. I bought some fancy new pants (for $12 each because they were on sale!) and a bathing suit top - just the top.. I didn't like the bottoms.
5) Swimming
When one has a pool one should take full advantage of it during hot days
6) Visit Friends with central air!
I went to life group which got relocated to my cousins... because she has central air. I brought us pizza and pasta for dinner before everyone else arrived.
7) Free Ice Cream!
During life group the person that brought dessert refused to take the ice cream he brought home. So I took it. It's been yummy! John and I also went for gelati on Monday. I had salted caramel and blood orange. It was delicious! On Tuesday we for a boat ride down the river for ice cream with my family too. So 3 days of ice cream... not too shabby.
So that's been my week of staying cool
Other than that my friends and I visited the Chile (chilly?) pavilion for Folklorama and went out for Greek food beforehand.
This weekend is sort of a lazy and relaxing weekend in the city.
Saturday I made some Tagalong Cookies and worked on some T.U.S.C most of the day (in hopes I might be able to use it at a job I'm still waiting to get for September).
I also made this delectable meal.

Hope everyone managed to keep cool this past week!

The humidity is really what makes life miserable during a heatwave. I don't know how I would cope with the long, sweltering summers without an air conditioner. How did our ancestors do it? I don't mind a more expensive electric bill if it means being able to stay indoors when it's hot enough to melt the pavement.
