Childhood Relic

Most weeks Thursday evening feels like the start of the weekend.  My plan for this weekend is to get some things accomplished! What that means to me is clean out the garage, weed and prune, and begin a wood project with the husband. 

When I got home from work today the inside of the house was at 90 degrees!  The repairman wasn't here yet, so I headed to the grocery store.  While I was there I found a relic from my childhood.  I opened it up and took a big sniff.  Ahhhh the warmth of nostalgia.  I'm starting to regret that I didn't purchase the giant container of Mr. Bubble.  Him and I in the tub sounds like a great time right about now.

When I arrived home from the grocery store, the  A/C repairman's van was parked in the driveway. So I had to park in the street and make multiple trips back and forth from the trunk to the house, with the groceries.  Of course while doing so, I stumbled.  

The repairman gave us a temporary fix.  But we will need a brand new unit soon. Yikes!!!  

Have a good weekend!

It's Hot Captain Obvious

The A/C is still broke.  I think we may call the repairman tomorrow.  It was a pleasant 88 degrees inside the house when I got home from work.  I'm blessed to even know what A/C feels like, however I do want it back.  Even the pup is accustomed to the cool air.  Here she is hogging the fan.

Newsflash! The Krispy Kreme finally opened.  This is both good and bad news.  Good because wonderful donuts are close by.  Bad because now I have to pass by TWO donut shops on the way to work.  Time to update the dress code at work to include sweatpants. Because that is all I will be able to fit into soon.  

Also, can the neighborhood kids please stop igniting fireworks now?  It is the 6th.  I don't want to sound cranky, but it takes me a while to decide if I am hearing fireworks or an army calvary.  

Have a good one!

Tiny Hiatus

Well that was quite a hiatus.  There is no way I can catch everyone up on my life from February 1st.  Geez!   I didn't mean to be away for that long. Let's just begin with today.

Casey Anthony was found not guilty.  I did not start following this case until 3 weeks ago.  That is when my husband's aunt got me hooked on it. It was all she talked about. And since I wanted to be a part of the conversation, I followed her lead. Let's just say she is seriously ticked off about the verdict.

I went to my last meeting with the counselor.  It is with a faith-based organization which is what I was seeking.  I've reached the end of a difficult stage in my life and I feel great about pressing through it successfully. I have learned so much about myself and am truly thankful for that.

The air conditioner is broke.  Now that sucks.  It's July in Alabama!  Ugh!  This happened last year or the year before and cost 2K to fix.  It will not read below 80 in the house. Even the dog is hogging the fan.  The husband suggested I go look at the unit outside to see if it was frozen with ice (while it was raining).  Well it was frozen over, in the summertime.  So we turned it off.  Perhaps it will repair itself once thawed out.  Positive thinking!

I hope to be more regular 'round these parts.  I really do enjoy blogging and reading blogs.  Thanks for sticking around!
