It's Very Hot!!!

It's very hot!!!  Summer heat in Texas is almost unbearable.  With high temperatures reaching to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, it's like you're toasted.  That is why we don't spend much time on outdoor activities between the months of July and August.  When possible, we only go to indoor malls and play areas there.  

I don't go shopping a lot in the summer because the car gets too hot that makes me upset.  Only important items like a stand fans and indoor electric fans can make me go to the stores.  For my daughter's activities, we to go the library for toddler story time.  That's the weekly routine except they close on a certain period.

Keeping the house cool and staying cool in the house are the best things to do during summer season.  What we do is run the indoor electric fan during the day to let the air circulation going in the house to help the air-conditioner minimize its running.  Still it keeps the house cool  this way.  Our electric bill so far is low.  To save money on gas, my darling daughter and I sometimes turn on the portable sprinklers when we want to cool down and get wet in the water.  She enjoys that.

Wall Decor For Sale On Garage Sales

Since I joined this online garage sale on Facebook, I had a few disappointments.  Buying an item is not like bidding.  You have to bargain from the asking price.  And if you're lucky that the seller accepts, you are responsible to pick up the item.  If the seller wants to get the full asking price, well you have to think many times if you really need it.

I said that I had disappointments and one of them was when I expressed an interest on two wall sconces.  The seller said they are still available.  So I asked her if I can take the sconces at a lower price.  She agreed.  But then somebody expressed an interest on them and willing to pay the asking price.  The seller went ahead and sold the sconces to the second buyer.  I was so upset.  The buyer didn't even asked me.  Oh, well.  So I just waited for someone to sell wall sconces online.  After a couple of weeks, I think, someone posted her wall decor for sale.  And she had four sconces!  I commented on the photo telling her that I want those.  Of course, I offered to pay a lower price.  She hasn't responded yet.  I really like the sconces though.  We'll see...
