It has been a hot week and half…..yuck. Yes, I know I’ve been complaining about it a lot, but when we moved here we didn’t expect to have this kind of heat. We had a few days last year, but that was only in the low 90s….here we hit the 100s for 3-4 days. We set a new record of 10days of constant temps over 90.
We did set up our portable ac in the bedroom for a few days. We tried not to use that much, because it really only gets that room and is noisy. Central air is so much better….portable ac units are not efficient. We love having fresh air, Oregon spoiled us on that because even if it gets humid it is no where near as bad as it gets in the midwest & Florida.
We got a high of 84 yesterday, which is perfect! Takes the chill out of the house and is so comfortable. Today the high ended up being about 74 area. Our house is shaded in summer and with the nights get down to the 60s/50s again it left the house a little chilly longer today. Kind of funky…went from barely wearing anything to hubby wearing a sweatshirt today….lol Only in Oregon.
We are suppose to finally have a chance of rain in the next few days. I really hope we get some, we haven’t had any in about a month.
Now with the temps more normal, time to see about planning some hikes. I will admit we are so looking forward to the colors of fall already.
I’m watching Mamma Mia! again…….lol I think I have the hots for Brosnan…..but then there are a lot of cute guys in it, even if they are on the young side….grin Wow….sad that I now see the age on the young ones……lol I didn’t recognize Rosie as Molly Weasley…I didn’t recognize Bootstrap Turner…..grin Damn, I love my ABBA, way too many happy childhood memories to that music and I can’t hear that music without giving me images of Germany.
This weekend was payroll….every time you think you are finally done with one payroll period another sneaks up on you…lol I finally got all the work caught up yesterday and was left feeling lost. Today I had some work, but no where near the amount I had a few days earlier.
What I need to do is work on a few picture galleries for my family, back up my pc, and catch up our holiday letter. I just haven’t been able to find focus and when I find motivation for it, it is time to bed….so messed up. Now I need to pack some clothes for a few days.
A very good friend of ours mother’s has passed from a long fought illness and they are having a party to celebrate her life. So we are heading up to Seattle for it.
Now for the record, that is what we want…no viewings, no memorials, no services…a party. NO casket…just use every part of our bodies for transplanted and then cremate the rest. Just throw my ashes in a box and released into the mountains…preferably Alaska or Oregon. =) Harold’s ashes are to be thrown in the ocean. I haven’t done the legal paperwork for living will and remains disposal. But figured this is a good way to record my wishes for now while thinking about it. =)
My dad finally got skype and made his first call. He didn’t warn me when he called so I didn’t have my head set ready…lol I was just trying to get him to use the chat….grin Then he wanted to use the cam feature. Of course, that is a feature I’ve never used….so we both were learning that at the same time, it was funny. Now he just needs more lighting. =)
I even got to show him Drew….lol It took him getting a new laptop to finally get skype…lol Now I wonder if mom will ever use it.
