Feeling HOT, HOT, HOT!

What is going on here? I moved to South Dakota, the land of dangerous snowstorms, thunderstorms and tornadoes. The heat we're having is ridiculous! It's been in the 90's with HIGH humidity. Today it was 94, but felt like 110 with the humidity. That's what the radio said, I didn't just make that up. Right now, at 12:30am, it is 85 degrees (yes, that does say eighty-five) with humidity of 74%. Lastnight, the humidity was 88%. Have you ever felt humidity like that? If you have, I'm truly sorry and I hope you never have to experience it again. If not, then I suggest you stay away from it. Plan your vacations around it. Just avoid it like the plague. The only thing I can compare it to is a swamp. I've never actually been to or in a swamp, but I imagine it feels something like South Dakota right about now. You've seen those movies about people down in the south, sitting on their porches, waving their little fans, drinking iced tea, and sweating to death? THAT'S what it's like. Miserable, I say! Just miserable. We've basically been trapped in our house running the a/c for 2 days. If we didn't have a/c, we'd probably take up temporary residence in the grocery store cuz they have a/c. Did I already say it's ridiculous? Well, it is. I don't think I signed up for this. You know that phrase "Crazy from the heat"? There is definate truth to that. I think Al Gore may be on to something...

Oh my goodness!

It's been a year since I've blogged! Sorry about that. Even if you didn't notice, I'm still sorry. Real quick, I'm just going to tell you about the book I'm currently reading. I am reading "Stress Less, Weigh Less" by Holly Mosier. It'a a book on how to get your life and weight under control by reducing stress. She gives all her methods on how to reduce stress, eat healthy, and add in some exercise, without it all seeming too overwhelming. And it obviously has worked, as you can tell by taking one look at her! I was already feeling less stressed just after two chapters, and I had been at the pool with 6 kids, so that says something right there! Also, I can personally say that Holly's awesome because she's married to my husband's cousin. That's not why I'm saying nice things about her book though. She writes like a real person that you can relate to, and she doesn't try to tell you "Drink the Holly kool-aid and the next morning you will wake up feeling and looking fabulous!" She just honestly tells you everything's she's researched and what has worked for her. It's available on Amazon and other locations also, which you can probably find on her website: www.hollymosier.com I'll try to keep my blog updated with how much less stress and less me I end up with!
