In the middle of the 3.5 days without air, (or as I like to call it, living in the 3rd cave of hell) a thunderstorm blew through, taking our electricity with it. Now, secretely I rejoiced on my inside parts, because that meant that I was no longer the only person in the neighborhood sweating [...]

fun with pictures

So, we went to Lake Oauchita (pronounced WASH i tah) over the weekend. I would’ve blogged about that Monday had we not come home to a 92 degree house.
Now that we’re back to proper climate control, I can get back to the blog that shoulda been.
Two other couples met us at the lake, Birdrunner and [...]

That’s what time Bobby-the-wonder-repairman called. It was close, but he remains a 4 word, 3 hyphen name because he is currently outside performing open heart surgery on Franken-air.

A lovely write up on Candice Bergen’s Emmy Outfit…
I have to wonder, what the hell was she thinking? She’s a class act. She’s a beautiful woman. She can even be eccentric…but that belt? It looked like Murphy Brown wrassled an old squaw and the squaw kicked her ass and as punishment, made her wear that [...]

It appears that the air compressor has not been delievered to Bobby-the-wonder-repairman (I’ve decided that name deserves to be hyphenated) yet. Therefore, my dead air conditioner will not be brought back to life today. He promises to be at my house first thing in the morning to breathe life into Franken-air. I hope he and [...]

update

Sigh. As a follow up to the 92 degree house situation…
Bobby the wonder-repairman could not do his voodoo that he normally do.it’s the compressor. Nobody will sell him a compressor on a sunday night.
So, I’m stuck in this sauna. I think I’ll sleep in a tent in the backyard.
FWIW, it’s now 91 degrees in my [...]

Because three different times this year, we went out of town for the weekend, and our bloody air-conditioning went out.
So, it is currently 92 fucking degrees in the hot box I call a house.
I’m MELTING!
Just a few minutes ago I called Bobby the wonder repairman and now I wait.
Everyone please send good thoughts my way [...]

I bought condoms last night. (I’ll explain why later)
Do you know how long it’s been since I bought condoms? At least 15 years. FIFTEEN!
I’m at the cusp of the age where women stopped depending on the men boys to provide protection. In the early nineties, when I finally parted from my boyfriend of 4 years, [...]
