It is hot and getting hotter. The heat index is listed at 109 and supposed to be 115 later this afternoon. (okay so it's only ACTUALLY 94 degrees)...
One week left and school is starting...lucky we have air conditioning there....but on days like today it's just plain hard to stay "cool". These are the days that you might actually be "thankful" to be "stuck" inside at the office! :) But, running around from store to store, gathering school supplies and a few new outfits, I just couldn't seem to cool down and spent the morning with my sweaty clothes sticking to me...miserable! (and please don't forget your pets out there in the heat... by baby doesn't even want to go out for a second to potty....) The pools are busy today but even the water is warm on days like these.
Eel drink for Japan's hot summer
TOKYO (AP) -- It's the hottest season of the year in Japan, and that means it's eel season. So, bottom's up!
A canned drink called "Unagi Nobori," or "Surging Eel," made by Japan Tobacco Inc., hit the nation's stores this month just ahead of Japan's annual eel-eating season, company spokesman Kazunori Hayashi said Monday.
"It's mainly for men who are exhausted by the summer's heat," Hayashi said of the beverage, believed to be the first mass-produced eel drink in Japan.
Many Japanese believe eating eel boosts stamina in hot weather.
The fizzy, yellow-colored drink contains extracts from the head and bones of eel and five vitamins - A, B1, B2, D and E - contained in the fish.
The Japanese particularly like to eat eel on traditional eel days, which fall on July 24 and Aug. 5 this year.
HHHmmm - I'm not sure about that one but....How do you stay cool these days? What are fun activities to do with the kids these last few weeks before school begins again (in this heat)? Any suggestions for fun in the sun?| Member Comments | Total Comments: 7 |

Welcome to ExecutiveMom's Blog.I have the body of an 18-year-old, but it's in the trunk of my car and it's starting to smell. I am smarter than my 5th grader but getting dumber every day. I am here to share my thoughts, analyze situations, & try to figure people out a little more. But, please remember that I am writing to entertain myself. I really enjoy reading your stories and responses to what has been written, but if you feel that you must send me something hateful…again, remember this is a personal blog and while I understand you may disagree with me on many topics, there is an obvious difference between disagreement and hate. Before typing - Please take a step away from your computer and take your pills. I take mine! Enjoy… www.kimberlycheryl.net / www.execdeftech.com
