What happened here ! !

Okay, take a breath. Another one.  It is the last day in August.  WHAT HAPPENED??  It was just June. We were just thinking about the new trends and colors for summer. Those cute sandals with the straps wrapping up the ankle. Getting the most out of our sun dresses, sipping cocktails on outdoor patios, trips to the beach. So much to do and all summer to do it.

Well, again what happened? July rolled in and out before we knew it. A few of us took vacation and squeezed in some cottage time.  Yes we sat at out door patios and enjoyed ourselves but it wasn't enough. The calendar flipped to August. Okay one full month left. Lots of time to squeeze in summer. Again a few vacations and beach days but never enough. The days rolled into week and now we are looking at the last day of the month.

Did you make the most of summer? Is your summer to do list all crossed off? Or are you a fall person and just wanted to get through it for cooler weather?  Let us know.  Also let us know if there are any topics you'd like us to discuss or maybe do a rant on.  After all it is almost fall.

Beat the humidity

It seems like the country/world is going through heat warnings on a daily basis. Combine that with high humidity and you have......you got it.....a sticky mess. When you walk out the door and within seconds you are dripping water like you just emerged from the shower. Humidity is calling. No, more than calling is evading and through the door and all over your floors.

If you are dealing or maybe not dealing with the heat and humidity we have a few ideas for you to consider.

• Head to the mall.  If you are having a non-spending month don't bring anything but ID. You are there to cool off. Walk around and sit in the food court. Bring a book and stay for a while.
• Head to the theatre.  There must be something there you won't find offensive.  
• Head to the beach. Bring an umbrella if you have one and water.  
• Head to the basement.  If you have a basement it is likely cooler there.
• Head to a friend's place that has air conditioning. Make sure you bring them a treat. A good treat.
• Head to a museum.  Most museums will have AC. Why not get culture and support the arts at the same time.

We would like to know how you beat humidity so drop us a line in the comments!
