I really think I'd be ok if I never saw snow anywhere but on TV ever again! I HATE WINTER. I really do! I want to wear tank tops and flip flops year round! I want to be tan. I want the sun to sink into my skin every single day! I love summer!

Can't you all move to a warm, sunny climate? Here in Texas some people wear shorts almost year around. My son wears Bermuda or biker shorts and sunglasses well into December sometimes. I'll bet you wouldn't love the summers we get down here though unless you love to sweat!!!:D

I love the heat! 90s don't bother me too much. I did a road race on 4th of July in 94 degrees with 90% humidity! LOL We are crazy up here... hearty New Englanders. However, 100s might be pushing it... unless I had a pool! :)

Today is 71 and windy! This week won't get out of the 70s. That is below normal for us, we should have August of hot weather and sometimes even Sept can be hot! I HATE closing the pool, it actually makes me depressed. I joke with hubby about putting a dome around the pool so we never need to close it! Or we could heat it all winter too! LOL

What you think of as hot is spring weather to us. It's going to be 104 here today and I think 106 on Wednesday and when you walk outside, the heat hits you in the face at first until you acclimate a little to it. In winter here, some of our days are like the summers you describe. But no shoveling snow, businesses closed or power down due to ice and feet of snow, freezing weather so I'll endure our summers to keep from having to shovel my drive-way and sidewalk for many weeks or long dreary, dark days.

Ya'll really need to move where it's a warm, sunny climate like Florida or Cali. It's very summery in many places in those states but not sooo hot like Texas and AZ. Still, it's hard to beat our winters!

The ONLY thing I like about winter is that I can put the cute little dresses and sweaters and coats and things on the pups. And I can snuggle up in a warm place and read some of those books on my Kindle. And after bad weather that keeps you shut in it is sooooo nice to be able to venture back outside. Not looking forward to winter at all though. I love Fall.

Yesterday we struck a VERBAL agreement with the owners of the camp that we were trying to buy. We were SO happy, ready to go up this weekend, sign papers, etc... Less than 1 hour later, the guy calls DH back and tells him that there was another buyer who was interested before us and she offered $500 more than we did, so out of obligation he has to go with her since she was there first. ..... UNLESS, we want to outbid her. What an A$$!!!! He made the agreement. He never should have made an agreement if he was going to let another buyer try to buy it over us. Also, he sounds like hes being all right & morale in making sure the other buyer who was there first has the first option, except he said we could outbid her! WTH! He's not morale, he just wants more money. We told him No. We told him he made the agreement with US and what he did was WRONG. DH & I were/are CRUSHED! We were really looking forward to that camp! It was a waste of our time to go back and forth with the guy all week and secure the funds, just to be told we 'lost' by $500. We are putting an offer on another camp that does not meet our needs but with the cost, we are hoping to do some work right away and have it meet our needs. I hope this guys sale falls through! Talk about selling yourself out and your word out ... for a measily $500. JERK! We really are crushed, this is the 2nd one that we were told Yes, then No. :( Thing is, its super hard to get into this campground.

I'm really sorry about that. A lot of times when something like that happens something better comes along and you end up being glad it worked out that way. What they did was wrong.

We had something like that happen when we were buying a car once. There was a older lady hanging around outside the cubicle where we were about to sign papers for the car, and she waved the saleslady over to her. After we had already struck a deal (no papers signed yet) the saleslady came back in and said that the lady customer was in tears because she wanted the car and offered more than our deal. We weren't going to play a bidding war game with this lady when we had already made a deal. We left with a bad taste in our mouth. And we were told that that car had been on the lot for several months and no one was interested in it before that day. Go figure. My husband found a car he liked better so it turned out ok.
