104 degrees and rising...

All I wear lately are short shorts and tank tops. Wanna know why? It is crazy hot! 104 degrees? That's insane. Crazy. That temperature should be locked up in Bellevue. Instead, it's prancing around all over my fair state wreaking havoc and straining my air conditioner.

Seriously. It's hot, y'all.

I comfort myself by eating sweet red bean buns and green tea popsicles.


So yum. Those red bean buns are terrible for you, but they're more delicious than doughnuts.

As for thrifting, I'm focusing on my future classroom. I need storage! I need a classroom library! I need owl wall decals! Or at least I want owl wall decals! I've also been garage-sale-ing (can I turn that into a verb?), but it hasn't been terribly fruitful. Garage sale-ing (sure, it's a verb) is great if you have a kindergarten classroom or a 1-year-old kid, but if you're trying to find chapter books for gifted fourth- and fifth-graders it's pretty much a wasteland. The Good Will, however, remains my favorite second-hand store. I suspect my thrifting skills will come in handy when it comes to my new career.

I'm definitely with you on the deliciousness of your favourite treats! I hope your hot spell gets the hex soon.

Gosh, 104 degrees! That is truly insane. It's a chilly 15 degrees centigrade today in London, England.

Are you sure those bean things are more delicious than doughnuts? I'm a jam doughnut addict myself. xx

I'm with Loo, it's bloody freezing! Send a few degrees over here and we'll even out at around 80f!
mmm I know where I can get those bean buns from in London but will definitely be hunting for green tea ice lollies!

Those treats look yummy! Good luck with your classroom library. My first year teaching I was at the public library every week checking out bin-fuls. Which the children loved. And took home. And never brought back. And I probably still have fines to pay...
