It's hot in here....

The title has been my sentiment for the last two days. Mornings are OK, but as the day goes on.....oh, and sleeping is no good. I don't even like a sheet when it is this muggy and warm. We sat on the patio tonight for about 30 minutes until the mosquitoes drove us crazy. It was a little cooler out there. The a/c dude stopped by about 3pm today, after I had been ready for him since about 9am (that is just his style--never calls--never gives an exact time). Turns out that he had a client that had an emergency a/c problem and he spent the afternoon in her attic with ductwork. What, no phone call? By the time he got here, he was too pooped to work! I'm thinking, "GREAT!" He started on our job last Friday and it is still 82 degrees in this house. I'd just like to break the humidity! Oh well, enough complaining....
what was it, just five months ago I was frustrated because it was 39 degrees in here during the ice storm...

I scrapbooked most of the day. I have two single pages going. One is going to need to be expanded into a full spread. The other has so much stitching on it that my fingers are sore. I think there has got to be a more narrow needle to go through cardstock! I'll resume in the morning, but maybe after a trip to Hobby Lobby to check out their needle selection.

I talked to my sister, briefly. I miss them, but that started as I watched them pull out of the driveway, if not before....




Tobin worked the 11-7 shift and was bummed that the day was over when he got home. He listened to his beloved Royals as they kicked the cards' butt! Now, he is doing the usual late evening task of lying on the couch watching Northern Exposure.

We are up in the air as to our weekend plans. If the a/c dude wants to work on Saturday, then we will have to kayak the dirty James River. If not, we are considering Boiling Springs Resort on the Big Piney or the Buffalo.

  1. man, who is this A/C guy? does he not consider the fact that you don't have ANY a/c to be an emergency? i would be furious!so glad my brother-in-law is a heating and air man!

    i love the family photo. i think it's griffin that is not looking at the camera, but he's looking at you with such a precious little face! see sometimes, it's good to not have a posed look. i was wondering how those turned out...i never remembered you saying anything.
    i hope you get to have some fun this weekend!

  2. His wife works with Tobin. He does everything the right way and doesn't cut corners, but punctuality and drive are lacking. Retired CU man....

    The family photo...thanks! Yes, Griffey, nor Koen, would cooperate very well, as to be expected. But, you're right, it's ok. I just wish Tob and I were centered! Photoshop couldn't fix that! Otherwise, I removed a fly from my arm, glare from my step-dad's head, wrinkles from mom, added grass to some areas, and hair to Tobin's head!!!!!!!!!!
