** Sunday, Sweaty Sunday!

still Africa hot here! moved my car under the 1 nearby tree and put up the "sunshield" as well. it is expected to be 97 today without humidity! very oppressive heat, the kind that just walking to throw your trash outside makes you wipe your brow. ugh

took mick out for a walk at 930 and was happy to go from the shade of one tree to the next. we lasted 15 minutes. he did, however, stop by the "creek" to get some water and splash around...also to chase a squirrel.

have done some more laundry and vacuumed again. 3rd time this week! this dog sheds like a GRIZZLY BEAR! i watched a little food tv network, did a quick 15-minute hair mask and showered. i will be staying in most of the day. i really need to mow the front lawn BAD! it has been close to 2 weeks now...i plan to wait until at least 7 when it might only be 90 degrees!

our pool trip yesterday was a success! i didn't get burned. that SPF 30 works like a charm! we sat under the trees for the entire time and no, i did not swim. the shade and breeze were sufficient enough for me. dominic and "meggy" finally ventured in after 90 minutes of him waiting to see if any friends would show. no dice though. his hair alone could probably cause heat stroke! i am pretty confident that he is looking forward to his" summer do" maybe next weekend..

came back around 430ish. we all got showered and then went to "Leelynn's" around the corner. the AC was cranking and that was a good thing! had a delicious salad with salmon, craisins, goat cheese and candied walnuts topped with a mustard poppy-seed vinaigrette! it was great! i felt like i hadn't eaten a single vegetable in weeks! it had probably been a week...naturally had to get dessert. that pretty much cancelled out my workout yesterday! oh well, it was a chocolate pecan pie with caramel!! ridiculously good but certainly not necessary...
