And I do believe this week has been the HOTTEST of the year so far. <br /><br />You know me -- you know I am no fan of hot days -- and you know I'd be whining about this to high heaven! But your insights, as always, are wonderful :)This Heavenly Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586469381231517883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801690521822474466.post-52461911989787900112010-07-16T07:34:07.726-07:002010-07-16T07:34:07.726-07:00Our last apartment had no air, third floor, hundre...Our last apartment had no air, third floor, hundred year old building, it got HOT. We survived and I can count the number of days we struggled to get a window unit in and all crawl into one small room to share it. I was thinking of that lat night as hubs complained that our room was hot (our bedroom is in the attic) despite the air. I reminded him how we used to put our pillow cases in the freezer before bed. <br /><br />It's all a matter of perspective isn't it? <br /><br />Thanks for linking up!Melissa Haakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692372175623299858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801690521822474466.post-45285884599752289202010-07-15T09:58:18.473-07:002010-07-15T09:58:18.473-07:00Loved this post - so true, needs vs. wants.

Now we have central air, but I still prefer open windows and fresh air.CharityVLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184364975188612954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801690521822474466.post-9347333013002241272010-07-15T09:40:16.440-07:002010-07-15T09:40:16.440-07:00We never had AC growing up, so I remember the same...We never had AC growing up, so I remember the same ceiling fan lounging and window fan loving :) We have central air now, but the apartment we were in prior to this we only had a tiny ac unit in our bedroom window. And I remember closing myself and Fynn in there his first summer... sticky bodies from nursing and books spread out on the bed for perusing. <br />Thanks for conjuring up that memory :) And yes, it's amazing how resilient the kids really are, and how unadaptable to change we are!Corinne Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604810312185816792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801690521822474466.post-65576821200395355992010-07-15T08:18:43.125-07:002010-07-15T08:18:43.125-07:00I remember laying in bed with no air conditioning ...I remember laying in bed with no air conditioning growing up, and wishing for a fan. For some crazy reason I didn't have one.

But it did teach us that we could survive at less than 76 degrees. Now we keep it a little higher and save some $ and energy.<br /><br />Try and stay cool. <br />A good excuse for lots of ice cream right?michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711137394143200105noreply@blogger.com
