I agree with you. The poor little air conditioner is running like crazy and I keep it a little warmer in the house to give it an occasional break. We had a few days of the 80's, but is supposed to get back to the 90's, and the humidity is icky. The sweaty part of the exercise is the part I hate as well, and then you take a shower and have trouble drying off because of the humidity.
Three things is tops right now (WDW is not travel, but a necessity
). Germany and other bits of Europe close by, and then Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. Grand Canyon and Yellowstone because DH and DS have never seen them; Germany because we lived there 30 years ago, and have promised DS to take him to see our old haunts after he graduates.
So glad your DH is better and that you were able to finish your vacation. Not very relaxing, glad you have a chance to go back. When they mentioned it on the podcast, I did not put two and two together until you wrote. It sounds like everyone stepped up and took good care of you all. Glad you are all back safely.
I traveled about the same time, came back to a thawed frig/freezer. Your house got through OK? My friend in Ashburn didn't even lose power.
Glad you are feeling better. I hate earwigs, but do not garden so do not know how to treat an infestation. My mom has troubles with them though, and when I visit they are getting in the house. They are nasty, freak me out!
For this weekend, I planned to really clean out our home office and see a movie with DS (Spiderman). Got quite a bit accomplished, and the movie was pretty decent. Lot of action. Next weekend we are planning a four day trip to Busch Gardens-Williamsburg. DH can't make it because of work, so we are going with friends. Not planning the food, will face it as it comes since we are going with the flow this trip. But we will get exercise, running around like crazy people!
I downloaded the app too, but was kind of disappointed. We don't have WiFi at home, so I need to use 4G. It kept on telling me I did not have an internet connection, so I have been going to Safari like I usually do and pulling it up there. Seems to work better for me. I'll have to play around with it a little. I had e-ticket before, and was very disappointed with that app. This seems better than that.
It is a great feeling when you put on those clothes and they look better or too big!
Cograts on TOM - ok, that feels odd to say that, but I totally understand where you are coming from! And great weigh-in!
I'll have to try drinking more water when I crave chocolate - I need something! Need to get a pickle out too - a dill pickle can kill chocolate cravings, I usually don't have one on hand though!
DS just got his out as well, and had bottom braces put on. He is glad to be free of the expander, but not happy about the lower braces. We are officially starting Phase II - the expensive phase! He needs to get teeth pulled as well, we are having our regular doctor see him Monday, see if he can do it. Will do it after we get back from Busch Gardens, hopefully he will heal on time to start cross country training beginning of August.
Not much good last week. Went a little over my points, including my splurge points
. And only a little exercise to speak of. I have been working really hard and coming home fried. Still had a loss, but could have been better. Am going to try staying on-plan this week, although I have broke into my splurge points already, but I usually do that on the weekend. OP today though, and managed well on Friday, since the free lunch was kind of boring and I had lots of salad (really good salad though!). Here you about the veg, that is all I want to do when I come home. But I think I am more caught up at work, so it may settle down.
Congrats on ONEderland! It is such a big point!
Glad Alan is finally getting to see his daughter again. Big deal!
Love TSM! Hard to ride though, we usually got FP's, but last time we were there we skipped it to FP Star Tours. And our upcoming trip, no HS. Next time we go to HS, will ride for sure. We have to do with FP though, since we are usually running for RnR as well!
I like puzzles games, play alot of them on my iPhone. For team games, I am a spectator, love college football! DH usually complains about being a football widower during Saturdays in the fall. With DS cross-country though, I may need to do some DVR'ing or finding a way to watch when we go to meets, since they are usually Saturday. I love a live game when I can get to one, the Sooners will be in West VA in November.
Looking forward to the Olympics. Love a lot of those sports, have always enjoyed Track & Field, and now DS is doing it as well!
Anything with a good beat. I have not set up a selection of songs yet, but I need to set up an exercise playlist. But when I walk I can listen to any of my songs and when I exercise at home, it is usually with the Wii. If i get a treadmill, I will probably want some upbeat songs or listen to my podcasts.
This is hard, since my favorite character is Bambi! I have not suffered hardship to the degree that he did.
I like Rapunzel though as well. She is determined to achieve her dream, but childlike as well. I am determined, but sometimes life gets in the way of feeling like a child again! Occasionally!

Had a busy week at work. My boss had a new baby so he was out part of the week, but I had expense reports pile up and it was taking forever to get through them all, and everyone seemed to be calling for assistance. I did get a star (reward for hard work) and flowers from a coworker I assisted however! I really enjoy helping them out when they get frustrated with the online expense report system. But I went home fried and exhausted each day, but I think I am caught up now. Hopefully a quiet week going into the trip.
DS got bottom braces put on. He does get to not wear his mask for a while now, until we get his four teeth pulled, so he is enjoying that break. He runs on and off, not as often as we should to stay conditioned, but he will start full-time training the 1st of August. Never dealt with cross-country before, but is the same coach, so should not be too different.
Saw Spiderman today. Pretty good remake. Gwen was his girlfriend in the original comics, but ended up dying. Marvel was purchased by Disney, so thought this was their take on it, but did not see the Disney logo come up at anytime.
Other than that, regular summer, too hot for me. This time of year I wish I lived in Northern Minnesota or Northern Maine. Although I heard that the NW is pretty cool as well. I am looking forward to the park this weekend, but not the heat we might run into.
Well, need to get dinner on and then pack for next weekend. I won't have much time this week, and we leave Saturday morning, want to get a good nights sleep before, so don't want to be packing then. I am, unfortunately, pretty close to where I was in April, so I can still wear those shorts and swimsuit. I had hoped to buy carry on luggage and try to fit in four days in one suitcase as a dry run for November (we don't want to bother checking luggage), but haven't had the time to really decide what to buy.
Hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend and week!

I also have some Beastie Boys, Michael Jackson, Jay Z, Maroon 5, Lady Gaga, amongst others.
I think of that and go "Yeah, I wanna look like that" even though I know it'll never happen and that picture is airbrushed within an inch of its' life!
We're working on a do-over cruise as a Christmas gift to the girls (and us!), and I'm really looking forward to going back. 
I ate well at WDW, but I had virtually no appetite when everything hit the fan on the cruise. So I made really good food choices because I knew I *had* to eat something to keep up my energy. The insomnia I had in Nassau probably didn't help, either...
Oh well... at least it got done.
