If you are suffering from the heat and would like to find an excuse to stay indoors, I have put together a few web pages you might enjoy while keeping cool in front of a fan. (like me!)
*********
1) Calculate your ideal body weight here
This thing says I'm not done dieting yet. I knew that, but on the upside, it said I am not too far away either, which is nice to hear. I am considering adding some exercise to the regimen since I can't seem to stay out of the ice cream these days. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear what you enjoy in terms of exercise. I am pretty much a newbie.
2) If you are interested in trying your hand at interior design, go here to see how you do. I will warn you, this one can eat up a lot of time. At the end, some dude comes out and tells you if you are tacky or tasteful. He said I was BORRRRRING! What!
Here's a picture of what I did. It's not like they gave me Pottery Barn to work with here, people! LOL
Let me know if you can do better than this!
3) I was born and raised here in the good 'ole USA, but I have several friends who were not. Some of them have been here a long time and have even gained citizenship. I wondered if I could take that same Citizenship Test, would I pass? Well, here's your chance to find out if YOU would pass!
It is a three-part test: Civics, History and Government
Be warned: this test has sound on it. I jumped a mile high when I clicked in my answer. :)
I started with the Civics test (the easy one).
I passed! whew!
So I moved on the the Government Test. According to the computer, I passed, but out of 4 questions, I only got 3 right. In my book a 75% is a big fat FAIL. hhhmmm......
But I got my second wind in the history section with 100%.
woo hoo!
Take this test here and let me know how you do.
4) In case you did not know, there is a great website for all kinds of free tests and games to boost your brain power and help feed the hungry at the same time. win-win!
It is called Free Rice.
Go there. Have fun. And do not ever challenge me to a duel in the Art History test, 'cause I will smoke you! LOL

What are some other ways you know of to maintain sanity indoors?
Don't forget to water your pets and be extra cautious with children in cars. They can overheat so quickly. Stay cool. Stay safe.
PS. Join me on Facebook for even more fun!
I'm linking up to Works for Me Wednesday, hosted by Kristin at We Are That Family

Okay.... I am 6.2 lbs. overweight. Hmmmmmm..... I can live with that! *lol* But really, I thought it would be worse.
Oooo, stay cool, stay safe. We're up here in the moderate PNW... send some of your summer heat our way!

First, LOVE the boots
Second, SOOOO not doing #1. Deny. Deny. Deny.
Third, we enjoy Free Rice. Such a nice concept and kinda addictive and good for coming up with Bananagram words.
thanks for the great sites! i have a feeling the interior design site is going to lead to many wasted hours...but wasted in a fun way! if you ever want to waste some time, my favorite place to go is sporcle.com. it has quizzes for EVERYTHING (i.e. name all the African countries, name all the Simpsons characters)- anything you could ever think of! i spend way too much time on there.
LOL!
I loved the furniture one the best! don't remind me about the citizenahip test! I'm very nervous and I have not studied! :P
When I was younger I used to be addicted to bored.com
I love the furniture thing! That sounds like fun! I like it but I can see where it is "boring" with just the straight lined. I like boring though. I would probably do mine similar. In real life at least!! Thanks!

Thank you for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at my post. The guitar pic outfit was my husband's favorite too being a musician. I love your post here, but I'm so far behind in my work because of vacation that I'll have to come back & browse. Thanks again.
