I actually do have AC, although the one in the living room is wheezy and weak. It's just that I kind of wanted to spend time in the other rooms....

Yeah, my diamond shoes are too tight. How are yours?

Oh, good. I'm glad you have something. My friend from Texas (who sometimes lurks here, hi ww) just said to me it only took her one night here to realize that "the myth that Yankeeland doesn't need air conditioning is, well, a myth."

My diamond shoes are also too tight. I think my feet swell in the heat.

I think my feet swell in the heat.

The heat wouldn't be so bad...it's the damn humidity we've had lately that's the killer! Thanks for those links, Cindy. I think we may go check out one of those for Emily's room. I stole hers, 'cause I just couldn't sleep or stand it (and it's not really big enough to cool her room). I went in her room this morning to tell her goodbye before I left for work, and her room was like an oven. I felt so badly.

Oh, I'm having MAJOR lust of the new portable air conditioners. I think I may try talking Emily into this one: [link] We wouldn't have to worry about dropping it out the window, three floors down on to someone's head!

vw, I just got a portable, and I'm very happy with it. I got a 12,000 BTU Haier at BJ's for $400.

Oh, cool! I was hoping BJs had them. I'll have to check them out. I don't think she'd need more than an 8,000, so that should be a bit cheaper too.

My apt came with a window unit in the kitchen which I have never plugged in.

my house has an airconditioner ( that sends the hot air into the garage) I used it once or twice last summer. It did nothing. way to small for the space. not sure why it is there.

Gosh, I wish I had air-conditioning!

My mom and I are just being nibbled to death by REALLY LARGE DUCKS.

Not onlly did the whole refridgerator/flood thing happen Friday, this morning my car died at Dunkin Donuts! I was supposed to move a load of new boxes, too.

So I have had to ask my mom to pay for it, no matter what and she has said yes, but it was just so awful talking to her on the phone. She is so depressed she said she was hoping the lightenng would hit her as she sat at her computer. I doubt she really means it. but it is just depressing to hear her talk like that and then have to ask her for, like $2000. But otherwise I don't really know what I would do.

To top it all off, I am supposed to go into work today, so I will have to walk and it is sweltering. And I hate the unknown of dropping the car off at the mechanics and not knowing anything until they come in Monday.

And to top more of it off...

I really don't enjoy hearing my downstairs neighbors have sex. Especially after they woke me up at 4 am because they STARTED having a party. At least it seems that their guests have left...
