Hot, Hot, Hot!

By Erin

Whew. I’m sure every single one of you is happy that this heat wave has past for a few days.  While I love summer, and love hot beachy weather, 90 is about my limit. My car reading 110 on Saturday was not too cute.  So what did you do to stay cool? I was in Rehoboth Beach, visiting my folks for a long weekend, from Wednesday through Sunday.  Totally abusing their Central AC, since our condo has a crappy window unit that doesn’t work very well.

First off, big news in my world: I went to the movie theater! For the second time this year, even! We saw The Amazing Spider Man. Highly recommended if you haven’t seen it yet.  (For those of you who don’t know me IRL, I can’t sit through a movie. I get tired, bored, I have to pee, I get hungry, etc. Going to the theater is like torture to me.)

In addition to the movies, I also spent some time in the community pool, which was as hot as a bath! But, it was WAY too hot on Friday and Saturday to sit on the sand at the beach. So this was the next best thing!

Sunday, when the temperature FINALLY went down to a chilly 93 degrees, we headed to the ocean, and I got in some quality swimming time with my favorite little man, my cousin’s adorable son.  Our eyes were closed in every photo. Whoops.

I sported this bathing suit from Old Navy, which I love, especially for the price!

I never thought I’d mind giving up alcohol when I got pregnant, but you know what? It really sucks. Like, way more than I ever imagined.  I’m not even a beer drinker in general, but I’m totally craving beer on these hot days.  I have sampled a number of the non-alcoholic beers out there, and I have to say: On a hot day, when your body really, really wants a beer, they get the job done. This weekend I drank Busch’s version, which is pretty darn tasty!

The hubby joined me over the weekend, and was WAY TOO ENGROSSED in his book. I wanted to gossip, and all he wanted to do was read Game of Thrones.  Lia is also into this series, so maybe I should get on board.  What are you all reading? I’m in need of a new book! And don’t suggest 50 Shades. I stopped halfway through. And no, its not because I’m a prude (I did skip ahead and read all the dirty parts).   But that’s a post for another day.
