HPIM1379.JPGWe’ve had a couple of cool days here in Texas. The high has been only in the 90’s, with the nights in the 70’s. We had a few 100 degree days in May, and we just got the electricity bill for May: more than $200. please take note: we live in North Texas. While we’re certainly not hurting for money, we ain’t rolling in moolah either. So our thermostat setting went from 76 degrees (I know, COLD, but we’re well-insulated folks) to 80 degrees during the day, and 78 after 9PM. I’m perspiring all day, actually thinking of having Botox treatments to stop my sweat glands! UGH! I’m taking two showers a day, but I’d take more if I didn’t have to supervise my children at every moment of the day.
Did I mention that I’d rather be cold than hot? You can always add more layers when you’re cold. When it’s hot, however, you can only peel off so many articles of clothing before being cited for public indecency. I’ve lived here since I was almost 5 years old. 26 years. You think I’d be used to it by now. NOPE!

Here’s some news that might warm you up:

2005 was warmest year on record: NASA: “All five of the hottest years since modern record-keeping began in the 1890s occurred within the last decade, according to analysis by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

In descending order, the years with the highest global average annual temperatures were 2005, 1998, 2002, 2003 and 2004, NASA said in a statement.”

So, hope that helps. Until, of course, the ice caps finish melting and we’re all having to swim to work…
