It’s been so hot here without air conditioning since Friday (high of 97) that we’ve taken some extreme measures. OK, not extreme, but here are some things we’ve done to stay cool:
1) open all windows in all parts of the house, pulling back curtains and turning on the fan
2) stand on marble tiles in front of fireplace in bare feet
3) drink all varieties of cold/iced drinks: water, juices, italian cream sodas, etc.
4) spend as much time as possible in air-conditioned places (bowling alley, movie theater, Starbucks)
5) spend as much time as possible at Green Lake
6) I have been sleeping with my window and door open. I might as well sleep outside.
7) eat outside–it’s cooler outside–at least there’s a breeze!
blast AC when in car
9) spritz self with water and stand in front of fan
10) let hair dry naturally–no hot hairdryer!

Today it should be cooler–85–but that’s still hot and stuffy indoors.
