Day 201 needs to cool off

This summer heat has a sneaky way of causing plans to be cancelled I think. Suddenly not moving while sitting as close as possible to the AC sounds like a much better plan than pizza. Which is crazy, because few things ever really sound like a better plan than pizza, am I right?? Tonight we opted for some chilled wine and brownies over any other plans, and I feel quite happy about it.

Day 201 blasts the AC

I absolutely love driving with the windows down. Frizzy hair be damned, if it's not raining in the summer, my windows will be down. Today was unbearably hot. Even after dark it must have still been in the 90s. It was so hot and humid, in fact, that I put on the air conditioning while driving home. The next few days will be just as hot, if not hotter, so it looks like I'll be putting my AC to good use.

Day 198 is a hot one!

It was a hot, soupy, humid day in Chicago. Miserably, terribly hot. To add to this joy, the power was out in our apartment for a good chunk of the night so we couldn't use any AC. Ugh!! Thankfully we had a cool place to crash and hang out at until our power went back on. This fantastic (and air conditioned) pad also happened to be the home of my newest best friend. Olive is the sweetest little pup I ever have met and I just love her and want to keep her forever and ever. Isn't she the cutest??

Day 115 is delite-ful

I knew today was supposed to be warm but I didn't think it would be hot enough for me to break a sweat. What's the best cure for a surprisingly hot day? Ice cream!!! This was my first trip to Dairy Delite, despite it being about fifteen minutes from my house. I'm a sucker for mom and pop operations. Dairy Delite is cash only, everything is homemade and all of their signage looks like it's from the 1950s. Heaven. I had a cone of Mint Oreo and it was delicious. Luckily this week's forecast calls for more ice cream worthy hot days!
