Hot Thoughts
I've been busy...
That is a great reason to not be posting right?
Truth is...I've been procrastinating.
See..it got hot this week and I hate, hate, hate electric bills. This old uninsulated house is horrible when it comes to running the air conditioner and so I put it off until there is no other choice. This means....this week with the afternoons in the 90's...the fans and open windows just haven't been cutting it. Constantly feeling too warm (it heated up real quick...seemed to skip the 80's all together..) really is exhausting.
I think my brain has slowed to a crawl all week. I managed to make it through Cub Scouts...
***Quick Tangent into Cub Scouts***
Hooray for Ace Hardware. I went to the spiffy, brand-new, Super Duper Wal-mart that just opened a quarter mile away and I couldn't find what I needed for den meeting this week. So, I went to Ace Hardware. (We were making wind chimes and I needed the metal to do the chiming..) I bought some really long nails that were perfect and then I saw the key station. You know, where they make duplicate keys for people...Well..I had the thought that keys would sound cool chiming too. I asked the people at the small store if they had any mess up keys that aren't any good and if so if I could have them for the Cub Scouts. They gave me a very heavy bag half full of them! Yay! I see lots of key themed crafts in our future. They were just wonderful and kind.
***Back to planned complaining..***
Now...it is a bad thing that I have felt oddly lethargic all week and I don't just mean because the house looks like a very warm tornado whipped through. Next week, on Monday, we are leaving for a five days in San Diego! Yay! Beach...Sea World...60 degree days! But..I haven't felt like doing laundry..or packing or anything. Getting this family of 7 out the door for a 5 day vacation is not done in one night of packing. No sireebob.
So, today..we turned on the AC. Once I get this house cleaned up...then I can start packing.
My husband will have his laptop on the trip with us..so if I am lucky enough to get some sort of internet service, I will post some of the best moments from the trip. But until then, I'm quite sure my mind will be a flurry of don't forgets.
***One more tangent...***
Did you see the Suns beat the Mavericks last night?
Oh my...it was so FUN! I can't wait for the play offs!

I hope you guys have a great time in SD! It's a beautiful time of year to go, you will feel very refreshed!
Too bad it is so far away, or I would try and meet up with you!
Have a great time!
Our last months gas bill was $385. More of a 'william' than a bill, really.
Have a great trip! Enjoy the beach!
:)
