The high in my hometown today was 107. Currently 102. Of course, their low is 69 and the humidity is a whopping 6%. Gotta love high desert.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Texas is mostly bereft of storms during the hottest months.
Houston, Austin, Dallas have very different climates. Given the size of the state, I think "Texas" is too general.
Brenda, we're having the same kind of weather today. One minute it is beautiful the next it is pouring rain.
Darby is adorable!
OMG KILL ME NOW.
Or at least punture my eardrums so I don't have to hear the INCESSANT WHINING THAT KEEPS BEING INCESSANT. OMG.

Hmm. Looks like the last batch of storms passed us to the south, but at least it's cooled off a bit.
Still going to use the AC in Dylan's room tonight because the mosque next door installed a new loudspeaker right outside his window. Lovely neighbors, really. So considerate. (They also managed to drip mortar all over our yard AND the neighboring daycare's yard during this construction process, which makes me suspect it's being done illegally. All the contractors we've spoken to about our own building's brickwork emphasized repeatedly the amount of protective scaffolding we would need - these guys don't have any.)

I've hit the summer TV lull and have run out of Big Love eps on iTunes. Should I rewatch Angel or Farscape?
I liked Angel better as a show but I am kinda craving sweets, so Skittles it is. Farscape.
OMG otters! So cute.
Hmm, I've spent the day reading Offbeat Mama, getting my new stepmom muscles in shape for when the boy comes in two weeks!
DH attacked the front hedges of planty death today, and also whacked away at the crumbling masonry on our front porch. There are, apparently, concrete steps under there. Huh.
I have been very lazy, but I plan on being more worky tomorrow. Will clean the office, and the foyer, and this week, I will attack the boy's bedroom. I would like to weed out some of the toys in there before he gets here, and just clean it up nicely and organize.
I know it will be a disaster within a day, but it's best to start off neatly.
