Enjoying Summer in the Burgh

Craig and I took our dinner down to the Point Sunday night and sat by the fountain watching the boats, the incline, the people, and the weather. It was wonderful. I love living in the city.

I forgot to mention as well that I've reached the 7 month mark and no more bragging. I gained 7 lbs so now I am up to 10 lbs. YIKES! The person who weighed me at the doctor's office had to do it twice because she couldn't believe it. That made me feel real good.

Hot with a side of humidity!

Wow - its summer! Craig and I do not have central air in our old victorian and honestly if we did have it - I'm not so sure it would be able to cool the place down. There is just much house that goes up. We have 5 window units and when all 5 are on it cools the place down pretty good. It doesn't feel like an ice box, but it takes the moisture out of the air and definitely feels better than the sweltering madness outside. These past couple of days have been killer. 94 degrees is okay, but add 100% humidity to that and you feel like stabbing yourself in the eye with a pencil. Then lets remember that Greta is pregnant and going to be pregnant ALL summer long. I'm sure when I am my largest in August I'll be praying for relief.

I love da burgh!

I live in Pittsburgh and all too often I think I take it for granted. We got a lot of good things going on around here and most things I don't take enough advantage of. One of my favorite things to do on a Saturday morning is walk to "The Strip" were you can buy all of your produce, meats, cheeses, fresh hot homemade tortillas, and so much more. This picture if of Iris, my beautiful neice, trying on sombreros in the Mexican store. I know there is so much I have yet to explore in this city, but I just wanted to give a shout out to Pittsburgh. I think most people put the burgh down for it being small, landlocked, old, boring, etc. But there are not many places out there where you can still afford to buy a house.. where you have the best sports teams around and fans... where you can find culture, history, and fun. I'm not an official 'yinzer yet, but I love me some Pgh. Come visit!
