97 degree heat...the apartment was that hot too....

Ok, so as many people might know, this past weekend was a killer in Seattle. It was 97 degrees on Saturday and 95 on Sunday. We left the fans on all day and night and nothing helped. Not even having the window's open. It wouldn't be so bad if I weren't prego but since I am and have a built in heater, it's a little overwhelming. Currently our apartment is 85 degrees and when we woke up it was 79 degrees. Yesterday it was 75. We have 5 fans and I am trying to find as many more as possible so that I can plug them in ANYWHERE. I swear our energy bill will be around the same as in the winter for this summer. Which is frustrating because we don't even have the heat on.

So we have been going to restaurants, stores, the pool, and my mom's house and using the Elmo sprinkler to try and stay cool. Going out to eat is killer because everything is SO expensive but I refuse to turn on my oven and don't really know how to cook on the BBQ not to mention that we have a bunch of stuff on our deck blocking our BBQ because we had the carpets cleaned this weekend and haven't moved it inside quite yet. So as for dinner tonight, not sure what will happen but we might end up out again....we can't afford to go out this much but its to terribly hot and the AC does feel heavenly. We might have to indulge one more night of eating out. Ahh, but we have to pay rent too...decisions. Rent will obviously win out but maybe it will be cereal for dinner tonight or something along those lines. If anyone has any good HOT weather foods that you recommend PLEASE PLEASE send them my way. I have made taco salads and am very tired of them at this point. Try and stay cool wherever you are!!
