It's been a slow week since the excitement of Comicon last weekend, so there hasn't been much to share. I spent the weekend cleaning up getting ready for the siblings to come FRIDAY! I am so excited they are coming! I even took myself out of doors to go grocery shopping! I tried my hand at making the very first ever batch of Heather homemade guacamole.... it wasn't too terrible. A lot of prep that goes into it, I ate the whole thing for dinner.
As the mercury continues to climb here in Arizona here some more Life in the Desert observations...
* A simple trip to the store in the evening will require a full wardrobe change when you get home, from all the sweating
* Get used to swamp butt
* There is no cold water from the faucet during the summer (at least at my house) They have water heaters but do they have water coolers?
* This photo is entirely accurate:
* 'Monsoon' season began today, don't worry I'll let ya know as soon as it monsoons
* The average daily temperature will not drop down to the double digits (and by double digits I mean 99°F) until mid September
* The high/low here for Saturday is 105°/76°F, that is the day we shall be travelling to the Grand Canyon... high/low temp there 78°/44°F [I'll need to bring a light jacket!]
* My weekend goals include staying inside and out of the sun as much as possible. Dr. Who has helped me make that dream come true
* It really is a different kind of heat. I'd rather have my head in an oven every day over the humidity back home.
* Oh, and Happy Father's Day dad... sorry I wasn't there to celebrate with you!
Easy-to-make guacamole: Mash up an avocado. Stir in store-bought salsa.
