Limits and slurpees - slurpees in the summer

Is it my imagination, or is this summer really unusually hot? I think me and the kid have not missed going to 7-eleven to get slurpees for the past two weeks. We’ve been going to the corner store everyday! This is way unusual for me, and way over my limit for patronizing a particular product. And the funny thing is, every time I never fail to get a brain freeze. Now there’s another thing I have to learn to control and not go over my limit. How about you? What are the things that you always seem to go over your limit? What do you do to learn and know when to stop? Of course, if you want to talk about slurpees, it is also welcome in this discussion.

Cherry Icees, yum.... It's been cooler than normal here, but cooler than normal is still HOT, 90's mostly. I've got the freezer stocked up with ice cream, but the children are at grandma's!

Average daily high temperatures range from 55 °F (13 °C) in December and January to 93 °F (34 °C) in July and August. Daily low temperatures range from 41 °F in winter to 61 °F in summer (5 to 16 °C). It is not uncommon to have at least a week of temperatures over 100 degrees in July.

OMG(just trying to be like Usher)! 90's is still cooler than normal? I would be sweating like a p!g. Maybe I could live in your fridge and sit in-between the ice cream. I should try a cherry slurpee...

Hi. bounce58. I always seem to overspend when it comes to me buying household items for my home. When I plan to not spend less, I will end up overspending. It is just terrible that I can't keep from overspending with the little bit of money that I have.

Don't we all? Money coming in is always less than what is going out. Sometimes it is a wonder how we ever cope. Thanks again!

I know what you mean. And mine is also chinese food. I can't seem to resist spring rolls. In fact, I even started a discussion about it here in myLot. Thanks!

Can we talk about slurpees for now as I can't think of anything that I need to know my limits on. I've not had a slurpee for awhile except for a week or two ago when I got one and it was delicious, I love slurpees, slushies :D

Of course we can talk about slurpees! I've tried a few different flavors, and have tried mixing them, but for the past few days I've been sticking to a yellow-banana flavor. I think in some subconscious level I think the banana makes it healthy. But I know that in reality they are not.

Hi, bounce58. All of this summer I have had a craving for salads and hot peppers. I love eating the yellow chili peppers too. I wished that we had a 7-eleven here in out town. I know that this food joint sells some yummy summer treats.

...salads and hot peppers? That is different! I've never heard of a hot pepper craving. Do they go together? I would like to say I want to try it, but I'm not really fond of salads. I hope you fill your cravings before summer is out!
