Oh my goodness is it HOT!

Heat Advisory:

Issued at: 11:05 AM CDT 7/23/05, expires at: 7:00 PM CDT 7/23/05

heat advisory in effect until 7 pm cdt Sunday
A heat advisory is in effect for all of central alabama through sunday. Combined high moisture content and temperatures in the mid to upper 90s, will make it feel like it is around 110 degrees today and Sunday. Urban and more densely populated areas will likely be a few degrees warmer than the surrounding countryside, and retain heat longer into the evening hours.
If you must venture out during the heat of the day, remember to wear loose, light colored clothing. Drink plenty of water, and take frequent breaks in a shaded, well ventilated area. Children, the elderly, and those with chronic ailments, are especially vulnerable to the heat. Friends, neighbors, and relatives should check on those at risk, and remind them of hot weather safety tips. Also, be sure to provide your outdoor pets with fresh water and change it frequently.

Yeah, it's HOT!  The weatherman said this morning that tomorrow could actually get to the 100s and feel like 115.  That is just insane!  I mean all I can really do is sit inside by the AC all day or lay around in the pool.  Which I actually did this morning...lol.  It's just too hot to be doing anything.  I went outside to take the trash out, water the flowers, and get the mail and I had to take a break and come inside in between each task.  Poor Kent was dragging limbs off a tree this morning and he was just covered in sweat.  I know I not going outside unless I HAVE to tomorrow!

In other news, Kent, his dad, and grandfather cut down a HUGE tree yesterday (thus the reason he was dragging limbs today) on the lot of land we will be building our house on.  It was HUGE!  When they cut it down it made a loud crashing sound as it hit the ground!  They cut it up to give away as firewood for when the race people come to town during the races.  I *personally* believe they should sell it and make some money off of it...and Kent agreed but it's not *officially* our tree to sell yet so we kept our mouths shut.  ANYWAY, we also went and looked at new appliances yesterday for our new house.  My Maw and Paw (parent's) are buying our old ones (not really old...like 3 years or so old) and giving them to my brother and his fixing to be wife for when they get married in December.  We are getting a new fridge, washer, dryer, oven, microwave(that doubles as a hood over the oven), and a dishwasher.  So far we believe we can get all of the above for roughly $3000.  Which isn't too bad.  But we are going to wait til later in the year and see if any of the appliances go on sale.  Hopefully that will and we will be able to save a little bit of money on that.

Well, I am off to clean up and head over to my parent's.  Yall have a good weekend and if you are part of the country that is experiencing the heat wave...be careful and stay cool!!
