I'm getting hungry I'll say Okay, other summer foods what else like you already know the answer my favorite summer food is on my ice cream Oh, yeah, I love how I know I speak right behind that or maybe time. I love love love all the fresh garden vegetables coming in Yeah, you had some stuff this year. Yes, there's nothing better than eating those fresh vegetables that you've grown or you know Bought from a roadside state or the farmer's market like those are my two top things. Okay.
I love the berries I love berries I mean I can just eat them as they are I also love to cook with them during the summer. You love the fruit system. Yes, I do Let's go. Hey, the ice cream in the winter.
You want? Oh, yes. Okay. Have you ever done that?
No, but you could I don't know I just think of summer. I'm like it sounded bust out that ice cream maker. She's a girl. Yeah, it's a year-round favorite.
Oh But there's just I just eat ice cream on time our house, but I don't usually do homemade unless it's summertime I don't know that we've had any ice cream this year. I know I mean, that's almost like You're eating your portion That was on ice cream. Oh, okay. What crazy after that?
Yes. All right. So okay. It's a confession time Oh, what do you keep your thermostat on in the summer?
68 girl is that? Oh, I sleep with battle 68 Even though we got all these notices this year to turn it up I didn't see those notices at times. I didn't turn it up. So yeah, um, yeah, I spent on 68 Yeah, I can do 70, but I got it when I'm sleeping I can't get worse I had about two weeks this summer that my unit didn't work.
So it was closer to 88 That's the worst bad, but they finally got it figured out and so we're back in effect with 68 now in a daytime We're not home or something. I'll jack it up. We're gonna bring it on down We get on to have one of those fancy things where you can like control it from where I'm wearing and set it up I'm sure a lot of people do but we have not entered that room. Yeah Okay, well, I want to ask you about this since we're talking about summer um, you know There's a thing in the passion world for years.
You do not wear white after labor Yeah, and then you can't wear it again until after I think it's Easter or Memorial Day after Easter then you can pull it back out So you go by the room? No, okay, so why does okay? You want to wear when you want to wear it? I have even say my articles about winter white You know like what you want to wear when you want to wear it?
What about you? This is real hard for you to break, you know After labor and you know I've got the right hands My mom is like looking to be disapproving like you know the date. Yeah, she's not a fan of yeah breaking that rule Well, I think it's just been so much. She's looking at you.
Oh, Miss Mary's She does I think where would you want to wear but I totally know where that mine sit because it did like you're like, oh, well Yeah, should I not and then you walk into a room with your white on and you see people whispering you just feel like they're talking about you They're not necessarily but you feel like they're white pants like you've got these white pants on everything can see I'm with you, and it's not a color of the fall per se, you know like it's a warmer But it's your own care if it's on sale. It makes you feel so Very yeah, so another question. Mm-hmm. Do you think you spent too much money on a specific thing?
Yes? Oh, I guess other than that everybody spent too much on gas this year. Um, probably loaded cheese shout out to my loaded tea people But yeah, I think that's probably what I spent too much money on This is our roommate because everything that we did like if we went somewhere was related to the Shooting team, yeah, so but it was money. We saved him had planned to spend yes You know, yes, so maybe food because we might have eaten out a little bit more than we usually do just because our summer was busier than I intended Yeah, and the costs were more you know, I think it's more expensive I'm raining that back in as we switched to September So I do and I you know, they got it.
I don't think I do so well, I mean I have all my kids, but my daughter made the middle school soccer team We've been excited. They've been practicing all summer, you know games are going we started in August Oh, and then my son I refer to this shooting team He's on well their age group they won national champ their national champions and ski which is one of their disciplines Shoot-in so yeah, there were shooters there from all over the country over 30 states for every single day Then we came home with the number one trophy. So you had some good stuff going on this summer. Yes.
Well, I know something you have a heart I've survived it so far But what how we'll bring up summer songs because every year I was thinking about what was the song of the summer and in my mind I guess my my song had a place was that a Beyonce's new album drop Renaissance? That is my girl and she's not had an album out in a while and so I think all of the beehive those Beyonce fans the beehive The beehive and excited for Renaissance because that's out and so their summer music for me.
