Maybe it's just this week's forecast where the pick day is a high of 93 that is influencing me, but this weather is just miserable. I can't run outside unless it's super early, I can't take the dog to the park without fear of him dying, and I can't walk to school without getting sweaty. That being said, I don't mind the heat if I have a pool to jump into:)<br /><br />Ask me again in January and I might change my mind.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14310521653862222270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-37100357009531151002009-06-21T09:22:12.075-05:002009-06-21T09:22:12.075-05:00This is hilarious because it's totally somethi...This is hilarious because it's totally something Matt has said before.

So we set it at 75 during the day and 71 at night (and he gets extra blankets).<br /><br />By the way - the hubs and I signed up for a free e-harmony weekend because we wanted to know if we'd be matched. And we weren't. Together 8 years and married for 2 and apparently we "aren't compatible".

It drives him crazy because I adjust the air or heat a lot until I have it just right and it can't be off even just a smidge without me complaining.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688980924321475338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-56294621162341006342009-06-19T10:14:52.941-05:002009-06-19T10:14:52.941-05:00My husband sweats just thinking about the sun.

He spent ages 5-13 in South Dakota before moving to Northern California where the summer time high would be 100 degrees and the winter low would be about 45, if even that. He was used to sub zero temperatures so he doesn't mind the cold as much. But the heat? OMG. He had to have his brother, his best man, hold a towel on our wedding day so he could wipe sweat away. And it was only 83 degrees and he was standing in the shade. <br />He is always turning the a/c up in our apartment to the point where I wear sweats, sweatshirts and blankets while watching tv. It is freezing. His whole family is like this.Michelle MGDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09213448834798399927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-11965804781471753872009-06-19T09:32:13.031-05:002009-06-19T09:32:13.031-05:00oh my gosh this is me and my husband EXACTLY...exc...oh my gosh this is me and my husband EXACTLY...except that i grew up in WI/IL and he grew up in STL....he freaks out and acts like he's going to die once it hits 75 degrees. i, on the other hand, am not warm unless it's at least 80-85 degrees. yesterday i got home from work, ac was set to 78, i switched to 80 (it's expensive! and i love heat :)) and listened to him whine. sigh. we're not even 1 year into marriage, we'll be fighting this fight for many years to come!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863427572750525283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-71601160087726336702009-06-19T09:23:25.173-05:002009-06-19T09:23:25.173-05:00Charlie and I always wonder if we'd get matche...Charlie and I always wonder if we'd get matched on one of those dating sites.
