Our email was fixed last night a little while before midnight. 🙂
We are in the midst of a HEAT WAVE here in the Midwest. My, it is hot out there! I’m really hoping this is the last of the very hot weather for the summer.
Nothing too profound today. I’m tired from the heat and what energy I do have I am using to organize our newly combined offices to make it seem less crowded in here. It’s a good thing we like each other’s company so much! However, my guess is that once the baby comes, there won’t be a lot of times we’ll both be in the office at the same time.
Speaking of which… Now that it is August, David and I can say NEXT MONTH we will meet our baby! Wow!
Keep cool and THINK AUTUMN!!! 🙂
This heat makes me wonder what folks in the pre-air conditioning era, especially before shorts were invented, did!
Wisconsin is absolutely awful….terrible indeed!
At least you have email, Sallie! :O) Count it all blessings 😉
Andrea,
Yes, I’ve thought about all those pregnant women on the prairie in long dresses, working in the fields… No ice water, no AC, no Breyers ice cream, no shower… We have it so good…
Sallie –
My husband and I have been praying for you, David, and Peanut as I’ve been silently following your blog for months… We found ourselves talking about how you’re 8 months pregnant, along with another friend of ours who is also 7 months pregnant… I can only sympathize as to how warm you must be!
You know, I was reading an article at Ladies Against Feminism a while back, and the writer advocating covering up/ that women back at the turn of last century had it right with the clothing they wore, how stylish they were and still stayed cool, even covered up. All I have to say to that is that she obviously has never worn those clothes! I’m a Civil War reenactor with the hubby, and I have a few period correct dresses (with period correct stockings, hats, bonnets, shoes, and even undergarments)…wearing one of my outfits is not always the coolest thing to do…nothing is worse than being hot in 90 degree heat on an open Battlefield in Gettysburg, and wearing a corset. YUCK.
This weather makes me very thankful for a/c, my brita water filter pitcher, and knee length skirts made out of voile, gauze,and calico!
Oh, and sweet tea….Mmm! God is good…thank goodness the heat is moving East!!! This isn’t the midwest I know!
Wow. NEXT MONTH! I can’t believe it. That has gone SO QUICKLY!!! Woohoo, so excited for you. 😀
Sweet tea…yummm. It really has not been as hot in Florida, as it has been in past years. But then again we have not been hit with our hurricanes yet =)
the heat index down here in Atlanta was 104 yesterday – and today, yeesh, ya don’t wanna know. I lived in Orlando without A/C in the 70’s…made me cranky, itchy and mean!!
Andrea – Thank you for the “real life” perspective. It’s so easy to romanticize the past rather than really experiencing what it would have actually been like.
Kristy – Thanks for the woohoo!
lrlwreath – You know, so many people love sweet tea, but I’ve just never been able to develop a taste for it. My DH likes tea though!
Jo Anne – The heat index has been running between 100-108 the past few days. Today it finally broke and now we will “only” be in the mid to upper 80’s. 77 never looked so good to me. I have to admit that I was rather cranky yesterday. Good thing my husband is a saint!
