Per Kathryn's request, here's a thread.
It's lame and dumb but whatever, I'm trying.
do you have your AC on yet? What do you set it to? I didn't want to to turn it on until June but it was so miserable yesterday that I cracked, mainly bc I feel bad for the doggies lol.
Re: Per Kathryn's request, here's a thread.
We cracked last night and turned it on. I was cooking and had a big pot of pork verde bubbling away and i had the oven on when MH came home and he walked in the door and immediately turned on the AC. It was probably about 80 degrees in the kitchen - I of course didn't even notice because I was hovering over my pot of porky goodness.
It was just so muggy outside, and inside, and it wasn't cooling down at all overnight. I think he probably set it to 72.
We'll probably turn it off again if the temp starts dipping down overnight again. We're sleeping in the basement these days so we can stand a lot more than if we were upstairs.
My Goodness...another food blog. Featuring: Macarons from a old post with a photo taken by my mom for a break from my crappy food photos!
I posted about this on FB.
DH turned it on in the middle of the night- which is weird because 1) DS actually didn't wake up- I thought he did because I heard DH moving about, but it was him closing all of the windows we had open and 2) DH likes the house warmer than I do- my ILs don't have AC and he is kinda cheap about running it.
I do this too. It does make a difference.
I'm going to try this--thanks!
just last night but we have window units
Yep. It's been on for awhile. I refuse to be miserable, and if I'm forced to be hot, I'll be miserable. There are days I'd love to turn it off and open the windows, but DH has horrendous allergy issues. He needs to come home to clean air, not pollen-laden air.
There's also the fact that the upstairs gets terribly hot, especially Mia's room, and I hate the idea of her being uncomfortable when she sleeps (which is probably projecting because I *really* hate to be hot when I'm sleeping).

Ugh I would totally force the dogs into the basement but for Jackson, it's the only place that he hasn't "explored" yet because he doesn't know what's down there, so I'm trying to keep it that way. I was so mad when I turned it on yesterday. I hate AC. I like having the windows open with a cool breeze coming through lol.
I've been running the AC for months now at night...I like to sleep with it as close to 65 as possible. Even before I got pregnant I always get hot when I sleep so this winter we actually slept with the windows open a few nights...and I still woke up drenched in sweat. Poor DH sleeps in sweatpants year round since he is usually colder than me. During the day I try to tough it out; our new apt is on the bottom floor and we have trees (oh, suburbia!) so that helps a lot.
Let's not discuss the fact that I'll be spending a week and a half at my parent's house (in South AL) in June...and their AC situation sucks since they live in an old house. I think I may melt in 90 degrees now.
Ours has been on for a couple of weeks now. Like Shandra we have a programmable thermostat. Ours upstairs is MUCH hotter than the downstairs. I think for my b-day present, I am going to ask for a ceiling fan in the bedroom
Our allergies are terrible so we don't keep windows open.
Our ac is set at 78, but it is SO FRICKIN' hot (2 adults, 2 large dogs and an infant) in our room that I am probably gonna set it lower. I just can't sleep.
Ours has been on for a little while now. We'll turn it off sometimes if it's nice enough to open the windows, especially at night. But if it's on, DH has it at 78 during the day and 72 when we go to bed. I never had the 2 different temps growing up so I'm constantly forgetting to set it to 78 before I leave for work. I'm not convinced we're saving a whole lot of money doing this, but whatever.
Also, if I am uncomfortably warm I will turn the temp down. I refuse to be uncomfortable in my own home just to save a couple bucks. Plus this baby is like a furnace and he keeps me unusually warm so I'm even more sensitive to it than usual.
