Dwelling in a Boiling Pot of Water
I recently moved from Memphis back to my hometown of Baytown, TX. I'm overly thrilled to be around my family again and have been inhaling old memories as I drive around the town.
It's been so much fun giving the kids a picture of my childhood, showing them where I used to hang out, the library where I "studied", and my old High School, Robert E. Lee.
My husband recently landed a job here completely off the career path he WAS following. This new company is family oriented, goal minded, and well.. just good ole' Southern guys who want to make a living and have fun doing it. I'm so proud of him and am very confident this is the right step for our young family.
While I'm enjoying my hometown, there is this little factor that makes me day dream of Memphis Winters and it's a little thing I like to call the forecast:
Yup.
The High yesterday in Houston reached 104, which is the hottest temperature ever recorded in the month of June, but get this.... the Heat Index topped 108!!! Hay Chihuahua!
Yuck.
Mix in a little Gulf Coast humidity and you've got, you guessed it:
I think I'll turn down the heat and simmer a bit on the couch.
Oh man! I don't know if I could do it. I just can't handle the heat. We've had extremely unusual high amounts of rain and cooler temps here. It's been wonderful and I know I'll be missing it when the 100's hit here. Still, we don't have the humidity and I think that would be the kicker. Good luck! Have a popsicle and chill.
quit complaining and lets go have a martini...lol
We live in the high desert with temps getting up around 110 during the summer but no humidity...thank goodness. I grew up in Southern IL with lots of humidity and I think that's worse than the dry heat. Lots of cold food and drinks...enjoy being back with your family.
Hmmm...doesn't sound too far from the Memphis you left. We've been under a heat advisory with heat indexes at 108 for two weeks.
It's just a sign of how unseasonably cold it's been here in NJ that I'm jealous of you with your heat and humidity!
We're off to Ohio in a couple of weeks. To Columbus!
That was a quick move!
Yah its HOT here too. 100* plus with a heat index of 105-110.
Not so fun at all when you are 30 weeks pregnant.
Glad the move went well
Guess we are in this Texas / 100 degree thing together :)
Oh.. MY! I'd stay on the couch too chicka!!!
