TGIF! This was one of those weeks that just flew by. Between the unbearable heat and dry conditions, I spent most of the week inside. I did manage to walk everyday at around 6:15am, and have a few afternoons by the pool.
Did you hear about the heat in Europe this week? I can't imagine temperatures of 100F over there - they are not equipped. Luckily I think it only lasted a few days. When we moved to the UK in 2011, Michael arrived a few weeks before us. I remember he said it was in the 90's and he was desperate to find a fan for the house. Whew!
I don't know about you, but I tend to get on a bandwagon of trying tons of new products. But sometimes you just can't beat an old standard. I used to wear this Revlon polish all the time, but ran out and kind of forgot about it. When I recently looked for it in the store, I couldn't find ANY Revlon nail polish! Of course, Amazon to the rescue. I love this subtle tan neutral, and it lasts forever on my nails.
For many years, we loved going to a pizza buffet at a Double Dave's restaurant right down the street. The kids liked to play video games, and everyone liked the pizza, cheesesticks, and dessert pizza. It closed a few years ago, but there is still a location further in town. I was kind of thrilled when Jack suggested we go for lunch this week. The pizza was pretty good (not as good as our old location though) and Jack played a few video games for old times sake.
We also drove by my old apartments where I lived in the 90's while I was a teacher. They looked exactly the same and it was a real blast from the past! By the way, August 1st will mark 30 YEARS ago that I moved to Houston! I might have to scan some old pictures to mark the occasion with a blog post.

If you are someone who orders food delivery, check out this deal from Amazon Prime - free Grubhub delivery for a year. It sounds like a good deal, just be sure to cancel before the one year mark or you will get charged monthly for the service.
Albie has been snoozing a lot as usual. Our morning walks wear him out and then he naps all day long. What a life!
I have been working on blogging more regularly and had THREE posts this week. Woo hoo!
Check them out here in case you missed them.
On the agenda this weekend - not much except going to see Jack play at the restaurant Saturday night. And starting the one week countdown until Grace flies home! :)
Have a wonderful weekend!
I can't imagine how hot it is where you live, but we've had temps over 100 for over a solid week now. This is the hottest summer we've had that I can remember. It's enough to put me in a really bad mood if I get out in it for too long! I actually left lights off all day yesterday to help with the temp inside our house and I think it helped. How hot has it been for y'all? Just curious. Have a great weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hot here too, with no rain! I always wonder how dogs manage to sleep all night when they also sleep all day, haha.
ReplyDeleteWe had a terrible hot spell here a few weeks ago with temps in the upper 90's and 100's for several weeks, but now these last couple of weeks, we've had a bit of a reprieve. We've finally been getting some rain, so the temps haven't been as bad. The humidity has been HIDEOUS though, but that's nothing new for Georgia. Haha. I've been seeing the news in Europe, and I feel terrible for them. I can't imagine living in those conditions with no air conditioner. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteIndiana has been so so hot, too! Thankfully, we've had a lot of rain, but we've been inside a lot this week. I'm hoping for cooler weather next week. I'm glad you go to do some favorite things with Jack.
ReplyDeleteGreat grub hub tip - thank you
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed walking so early in the mornings. I was thinking today in 2 months, we hopefully will be entering into fall like temperatures...or at least cooler than what this summer has given us. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI’m going to need to search out Revlon polish near me. That’s a pretty color.
ReplyDeleteI am really over the heat. Bring on Fall and cooler temperatures!
