85 and rising...

So, on Saturday night we were sitting inside and I started to feel a little warm.  I looked at the thermostat and realized that the house was hotter then the thermostat was set.   I walked over to the vents and sure enough, no AC.  Yep, our AC was broken.   Good timing right?  So, we turned on the fan poured ourselves some sweet tea and settled down for a relaxing yet warm weekend.

Thankfully this weekend was on the cooler side compared to the hot temperatures we have had lately.  It was only in the low 90's and mid 80's the last few days which has made the house tolerable without AC.  The humidity is high (78% to 98%) but at least the house is staying around 85 degrees.

So, what have we done while it's been hot inside?   We watch the Olympics, drink sweet tea, go for a swim in the pool and find creative ways to make dinner without using the oven or stove (I don't want to turn on anything that will make the house any warmer)  Thankfully the AC should be repaired by the end of the day and I found a really great recipe for dinner using my slow cooker.  If this Lemon, Rosemary Roasted Chicken tastes anything like it looks right now we are in for a delicious dinner...though maybe we will want to serve it cold as a chicken salad if the AC isn't working by tonight :)

  Now, I think I will have a nice cold glass of ice water as I continue my day and count down the hours 'till the AC Tech comes.
