Dog Days of Summer

It is friggin' hot. Hot, hot, hot. The forecast for this week is not looking so good either.

Ok, so maybe it doesn't look so bad if you live down South or something but this is Ann Arbor. Michigan. I thought summers are supposed to be comfortable here. I mean I tolerate the frigid temperatures in the winter so I can enjoy a nice cool dry summer. We might beat/tie the record high today which was set LAST YEAR. Global warming? We need more pirates. (Only a few of you will get that...)

Anyway, so I'm doing my part to be all Green and stuff. I HAVE NOT USED MY AC ALL SUMMER. Well, to be honest, I'm just being cheap. And testing myself to see how much I can tolerate the heat. I'm only home in the evenings, so I just keep all the windows and blinds shut all day. Then when it's cooler outside than it is inside, I open up all the windows and blast my fans. It's been working so far. But we'll see about tonight... It's supposed to be all gross. Oh, and my plant died because it got too hot inside for it. :( Sad.

But I cheat because I use the AC in my car sometimes. And my office is nice and cool. But I don't have control over that.
