August

Happy August everyone :)

It's finally here and all I can say is... I HOPE IT BRING'S COOLER WEATHER!!! I was reading a Yahoo News article today regarding the horrible heat wave that has hit the US this summer. They said that there were almost 3,000 heat records set in July alone all over the country. That's up from the 1,400 last year. Believe it or not, a little town in Minnesota was named "The hottest place in US recorded history" for a day. With the heat index (humidity plus the temp) it was 134 outside. I know Virginia has been insane the past month. Although several people we know insist on keeping their homes cool through this heat wave, we keep the house at aprox 80 deg. Yes, it get's warm from time to time so when I'm cleaning or working around the house, I turn it down to 77. Even at 77 though, when I hear the air kick on and I see is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. It stresses me out. The only thing I hate about a warm house is when I'm trying to sleep and my feet get hot. I can't sleep when my feet are hot. Ok, enough about the hot weather :) May August bring us cooler weather so I can open my windows and let the summer funk out of my house!

I finally ran 1 mile last night (well, more like 0.9) but it's close enough so I'm guna go with the 1 mile idea. It was horribly difficult and I am kinda not looking forward to doing it again tonight... but I will never improve if I don't keep working at my goal. So, here in about 4 hours I will hit the pavement and run like the cops are chasing me.

I know I have been behind on posting pictures the past several post's so I promise as soon as my camera is back up and running, I will get some pictures on this thing. I have pictures of our new gutters and I want to get updated pictures our the house posted.

Happy Tuesday everyone!
