Things I Forgot

I have lived in tropical climates all my life, but the 3+ years in Alaska have some how made me forget a few things. Here is what I have remembered so far

1) Baking a cake and then trying to icing it in 85 degrees with 100% humidity results in melted icing....at least it still tastes good!

2) I forgot what humidity does to my wavy hair! From Alaska where I don't have to do anything to it for a few days and it still looks good  and remains flat to being in Puerto Rico where it is curly and frizzy.

3) I forgot what it feels like to take a shower and the minute you get out of the shower you start sweating.

4) I forgot how annoying sugar ants are! those little bugs are everywhere!!!  And they can find food so fast!

5) I forgot how fast my skin burns in the sun.  I have one boy who is just like me too. The other one seems to tan nicely, lucky for him!

6) I forgot tropical storms and hurricanes, not that I really want to remember those but since one is approaching us I remember the "fun"(insert sarcasm here) of it all!

7) I forgot how sweet fresh ripe pineapple and mangoes really are! I am loving that... Oh and the Avocados!!!

8) I forgot that you DON'T shave your legs the day you decide to go to the beach...... ouch talk about burn!
