You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I know Home Depot generally has a no-return policy on A/C units - you can exchange, but not straight out return. I'm sure it's because we're not the first to come up with that idea.

Hung v. sliders - are sliders the ones that slide side-to-side instead of up and down?

Well, it WAS just a matter of extending a couple tucks. But it is more than that now.

I also need to replace a hem on a dress the cat ATE the hem out of, but I need red thread for that. And of course, I have none.

Yup.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, as long as you're buying black thread, you might as well get red, too...

I really need to plug up the holes around my window a/c, but can't get motivated to do it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I turned off my air conditioning when I left early this morning, and was surprised and pleased to find that the inside temperature was only 77F when I got back late this afternoon, with an outside temperature of 105F. Hooray for good insulation!

Then we caught a rain shower, and the temperature dropped 25 degrees in five minutes. Mmmmmmm, nice--indoors and out.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. I thought this was a baseball question and I was wondering why Ple was answering it.

Windows. Got it. (not the MS kind)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I ordered food in and all my motivation is gone. I really would like to do some sewing, but tv watching is all that is happening.

You need Powerskip- that'll put some bounce back in you.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Got up early and met Kat and Lori at the bookstore, purchased some good books (including one on how to make pop-up books which I am totally loving). Then we went to have lunch and I got yummy sweet cream ice cream.

It is, as stated, unbearably hot, and taking me hours to do the chores around the place. I don't think I'll ever get to vacuuming.

Also, I got a rejection letter from an agent today. Just a plain form letter. It makes me a little sad, but the heat makes me sadder.

I do believe as soon as the laundry is done that I will be taking a cool bath and sipping iced tea.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Everyone should just sit down with a cold drink RIGHT NOW. It is summer. NOT time for running around and cleaning and all this nuttiness. It is time to sit on the porch with a paper fan.

And eat popsicles! You forgot the popsicles. I did make a run to Target today, but other than that I've spent the day lolligagging on the sofa with the fan and the ipod/speakers going, reading HP6. I am going to move out to the balconey when it gets a a little cooler and keep reading out there.
