It. Is. HOT. Texas summers are pretty horrible. Last year, we had 2-3 months of over 100°F (38°C) temperatures and no rain. I’m really hoping it won’t be like that this year, though we’ve already had a couple over 100°F days. I’ve been wearing my hair in a ponytail lately because of the heat.
This past weekend, I thought, screw it, it’s too hot for long hair, and chopped it off! Aahh, it feels so much lighter now :)
I was originally planning on doing nothing this weekend. I really would have preferred that over the housework I ended up doing. My husband and I spent Sunday morning mowing and trimming our lawn… which, by the way, is torturous in this heat, even in the morning.
I’ve also been on this… cleaning spree. It all started when I showered with my contacts in one day. I normally don’t, and I’m pretty blind without them. So, I was oblivious to how dirty our shower had gotten due to my horrible eyesight. When I finally saw it clearly, I was shocked and cleaned the shower. That motivated me to clean the toilets and bathroom floors too.
From there, I moved onto cleaning our game room. I had piled so much stuff on my computer desk that I was making piles on the floor next to it. While I was vacuuming, I complained to my husband…
“This vacuum just doesn’t do enough.”
“Didn’t you break it the last time you used it?”
“No, I just burned my shoe laces.”
“……………”
Yeahhhh… I was too lazy to move my sneakers and vacuumed too close to them. Next thing I knew, the shoe laces got sucked in, and… SMOKE, burning smell, and well… burnt shoe laces.
Lesson learned: don’t vacuum too close to shoes with laces…
I’ve been cleaning like a mad woman! It’s crazy.
Also, super cute haircut! It looks so comfy!
Dang, Texas IS hot!
Your hair looks great! It’s perfect for the summer time.
Haha, I should probably wear my contacts the next time I shower but now I’m a little too nervous to try–not sure If I’m ready to see the reality of my possibly dirty bathroom.
Oh dear, I can’t imagine what burning show laces would smell like, but I’m sure it would be awful. Oh man, I remember I accidently vacuumed a rubber band once that was on the floor…WORST SMELL EVER. The smell of burnt rubber is horrendous.
haha you’re like me. Once I start cleaning one spot/area..I continue to the next area and so on ^^;; Oh dear, I’m afraid to shower with my contacts on…NOW I’m even more afraid cause of what I might “SEE” eek..I hate cleaning the shower area, too. It takes so much work.
I’ve done that with the vacuum before because I was too lazy to move my shoes as well lol
^^ It’s good to have shorter hair in the summer. It feels less weight on your head lol The hair style really look good on you. It was 104 degrees a few days ago where I live =( It was horrible.
dang, over 100 degrees F…with no rain?? -_- that sounds scorching LOL
i reallyy like your new haircut :D it’s so fun and refreshing :DD you look really good~
i loveee cleaning. it’s so therapeutic right? Getting rid of this and that, decluterring, vacumning! LOL with the shoe laces.. i’ve definitely done the same thing.. *accidentally vacumning something unattended.

Your hair is so cute and summery! I love it! I got 4 inches cut off mine for the summer. You’re right, it’s just too hot for long hair! It gets pretty scorching in Tennessee too. It’s been in the upper 80s and 90s here this month, and the humidity makes it even worse.
I just cleaned my computer desk off the other day too. I was doing the exact same thing. The desk was so cluttered that I was making piles on the floor next to it. Now it’s much better, and I’ve found that I want to spend a lot more time at my desk now that it’s clean.
I love your new haircut, it’s perfect for the summer time :)
Doing nothing > housework, which explains why I’ve put off cleaning for the past weeks…my house is starting to go a little crazy with the cat hair fluffs!
That’s crazy that your vacuum burned your shoelaces! o_O Good thing it didn’t start a fire!
This weather is the same in Australia in summer. We get our rain in winter more. But if it does rain in summer, it’s usually consisting of a thunderstorm. And then the temp drops dramatically, unless we are getting a succession of very hot days. I tell people who are not used to hot weather never to come in Summer. They’d die.
I really like your hair cut :)
I am so jealous that everyone gets to complain about heat while all I can think about is how cold it is here. It has been raining so much too. I’d WANT some 38 degree weather right now … but not for two months straight, because that is just scorching. Might make an interesting difference to here though. Wouldn’t it be nice to even out weather all over the world?
I always shower with my contacts in because otherwise I feel blind! The other day I showered in the bathroom my mom uses and the shower floor was so nasty because she only has glasses. Good eyesight leads to more cleaning, which is not cool.
I’m surprised your vaccuum didn’t cause a fire. You were lucky then!
Love your hair cut! Looks cute on you! :)
Short hair cut feels so refreshing in the summer because breeze hits the neck.
Your weather sounds extremely, lethargically hot. I like warm sunny weathers, but nothing too hot. But our weather here is like in the middle. It’s summer, but doesn’t really feel like summer. Some days feels like fall. It’s really bipolar…rains most of the time, and sunny sometime. Haha that’s seattle for you, the rain city. :)
Lol, I sucked in too many cords with the vacuum that whenever I see anything string like, I stop and kick it away. I broke the vacuum thing once…and I got in trouble. -__-
I love your haircut! It totally suits you and you look younger. ;)
The burnt shoelaces incident is hilarious! I’m glad there wasn’t a fire or something more serious – and at least the shoelaces can be replaced too. :) I remember having our hairdryer blow up… really uncool when household appliances decide to explode. O_O Glad you did get some cleaning done though! ^_^
I wish my roommates would go on a cleaning spree. Please inspire them. Amen.
I live in Texas too and what you say is true ;/ It is SO HOT, it’s unbearable at times.
Unfortunately, I haven’t had the cleaning bug in awhile (and my room is getting pretty dirty) and I severely need it.
You look cute with your new haircut ;D I too, decided to chop off most of my hair to deal with the heat and for the most part, it has worked!
