I'm not going to mention the b-word
It's really hot. This is irritating. Fortunately, it is no longer looking like it will be as hot tomorrow as originally forecast. That would be nice. But still hot. But tomorrow is supposed to be the last day of this particular heat wave, so it's all good.
I should get us to the pool one more time just in case it is The End Of Summer. I'm not sure my bathing suit adequately covers me anymore, though. Many things don't.
Mariel must have done something magic, because our ceiling fan is suddenly working again (I have a feeling she flipped a light switch, a step I hadn't thought to try since the light on the fan worked properly). And there was much rejoicing.
In general, this house seems much cooler than the apartment. We haven't run the AC yet.
We have no DSL for another week or so due to SBC screwyness. We do have dialup access, and koyote gently reminded me that my laptop includes a modem, so I am now the AP for the house.
Library story time started again today. Leif was thrilled, as am I, because free entertainment/social activities are good.
He has his first real toy-crush - this ugly little baby (ok, so I said the b-word, but not in the usual context) doll that he's named "Baby Girl". He's taken it everywhere for the past week or so (since we found it while moving stuff), and started crying when we couldn't find it before leaving the house earlier (we did eventually find it). I think we need to find a backup Baby, just in case.
And that's about all the excitement. Except the BBQ tomorrow, which you should attend.
