HOT Tamales!

I have only one complaint thus far of the city I now call home: the heat. Now, I know you fellow Texans are saying, "Oh please, it's 110 degrees here, give me a break!" I know, I felt the exact same way. Well friends, let me tell you something, we were mistaken. In Texas, you go from one ACed place to the next. I have never been so grateful for an AC. I seek them out these days at Starbucks, grocery stores, museums, laundry mats, wherever there is a breeze. I could buy an AC, but the 5 flights and installation process have stopped me. So, I have fans. Lots of fans, five to be exact, one in every room. (plus the personal one I use on the subway) There is a constant humming sound flowing through my abode, but I find it quite comforting.

However, I don't want you to worry because I have discovered some bonuses of living without AC in August in New York City. Here are some of my favorites:

1. Great opportunity to drink TONS of water

2. Wearing a lot of different outfits each day

3. Sweating off those unwanted lbs

4. Ice cream, popsicles, & froyo

5. Watching kids running through the fire hydrant

6. Sticking your head in the freezer

7. Wearing a swimsuit around your house

8. Not turning on the stove/oven, easy cooking

9. Eating lots of salty foods (need to replenish)

10. Taking a freezing cold shower before bed

See, it's basically a party everyday. Wish you were here with me, I would share my fan with you. Stay cool friends!
