Too hot to blog

I haven't blogged in a couple days. I've had a few friends say they have checked my blog repeatedly for a new post but found nothing. Sorry, I apologize. It's probably because I've been too hot. I don't like to complain about being hot because Washington is such a heat deficient state, but since it is so rare, and our bodies aren't used to it, it's easy to find ourselves whining about it.

I hate being hot. There, I said it. I like to be hot when I am laying by a pool or a beach. I do not like to be hot when I am doing laundry, vacuuming, taking care of my kids, baking cookies, and especially when I am drying my hair. Ew, it's just gross.

So instead of complaining about our heat, I am going to focus on the things I LOVE about summer.
