Why a blog?

Some of you may say "why write a blog?" Well, I guess because I want somewhere to record random stuff that way I can look back at it. You should all know this is a private blog- no one else but you and a couple of friends can read it. And, I'm not putting any details like addresses or my name out there either.

It's an oven out there!

It is MAJOR hot outside. That in mind, I was trying to think of cool treats to enjoy to take the edge off the heat. It's supposed to be over 100 degrees today which means it will actually feel a lot hotter.

Couple ideas to "beat the heat!"
  • FROZEN GRAPES! My cousin told me about it and I've also read it somewhere else. They become kind of like a mini popsicle, if you will. Perfect treat and a way to conserve your grapes once you realize you might not finish them all.
  • HEY, THERE'S SOMETHING IN YOUR DRINK! Don't worry - it's just mint leaves frozen into your ice cubes. Another way to add a coolness to any drink since mint leaves give off a cooling sensation. Or you can probably (my theory) is mix up a batch of minty water by using a couple drops of peppermint extract in some water and freezing that into ice cubes. But you must use the fun-shaped ice cubes. No boring plain ones. ;)

Well, that's all I got for today, for now.
