May was mild, June was mild, July is here to punch us in the face.

Holy Hell is it HOT! Amanda and I made plans to have a “Mom Morning” today. Meet up at Starbucks at 9, hit the Farmer’s Market, then to the art store. When I pulled up to Starbucks at 8:50 IN THE MORNING, it was ALREADY 98º! Needless to say, it was an iced coffee kinda morning.

We did a brisk walk around the Farmer’s Market. We hit up the bakery stand for our almond croissants, bought some candles, a few treats for the heathens we live with, and tried not to get heat stroke. When we couldn’t handle the heat, it was art store time… and blessed air conditioning. I, of course, spent too much. But in my defense, there was SO MUCH CLEARANCE! Liquitex paints and mediums, canvases, oh my! We made plans to go to my parents tomorrow with the girls so that I can show Amanda’s kiddo how to use resin.

I spent the rest of the day fantasizing about living in a place that never got warmer than 75º.
