The original plan was to clean the house and post some pictures of the new place this weekend. Well, guess what....that didn't happen. Instead I went car shopping with the boyfriend and also bought a couch and a tv. I also made 2 batches of cookies in my new Kitchen Aid mixer (thanks grandma) and homemade pasta sauce to freeze. All in all a productive weekend, but as you can imagine the house is no cleaner. So instead you get to learn about what it feels like to live in the desert. S
You know you live in a desert when...
- when the AC in your house never gets turned off
- when you will park in the furthest possible spot at Walmart if it means you get a sliver of shade
- when you are afraid your water bill will be high, not due to watering the lawn or long showers, but due to the 3,000 glasses of water you manage to drink everyday and still be thirsty!
- when it's over 90 degrees out at 7am
- when yards are filled with rocks instead of grass
- when you turn on the cold water faucet and it's luke warm
- when your skin is almost as dry as a Pennsylvania winter (well not quite, but close)
- when you used to be a person who didn't drink ice water because it made you cold, but now crave an icy drink at every turn
- when your dog is only allowed to go for rides early in the morning or after the sun goes down
- when you have to wake yourself up in the middle of the night to drink water, otherwise you'll wake up with a throat that feels like cotton and a dehydration headache
- when roadside landscaping mainly consists of cacti
