broken a/c + brain freeze + blue icing + the big zero two = belated blogging
It is official. I am the mother of a toddler. A "terrible two". Yipes. Check out that smile. This little turkey is gonna be trouble. You can just see it in his eyes.
Bex celebrated his birthday by splashing around with some pals and consuming copious amount of blue icing. Mmmm.... dye.
My mom has become quite adept at documenting life's little milestones and snapped about a zillion pics of the party. Ok, it wasn't quite a zillion, but 300 is close enough. Somehow my paltry photo sampling seems inadequate. I'd share my photos too but I can't seem to located the camera's USB cord. Where could it be?? We didn't even turn on the video camera! What kind of mother am I? The kind who wasn't thinking clearly because of the heat, that's what kind.
So, our AC bit the big one. No, an AC is not a luxury in our part of the country. It is H-O-T, and I'm grumpy when I'm sweaty. Living without it simply was not an option. I kid you not, I would have been divorced and/or dead from heat stroke within a matter of days. Bleh. I don't do hot. Anyway... We broke down and bought a window unit to keep us cool and reasonably sane while we waited for the new system to be installed. Yep. System. We don't do anything small around Casa Myers. No sir. Seems the existing furnace and other HVAC bits weren't going to play well with today's new fangled air conditioners. Can you tell I have no idea what I am saying? In the end, we had to replace the whole stinkin' system. OMG. A couple buckets of money and several weeks later, we are happily residing in a home full of cool air. Whee.
I really have nothing to blame for my absence from blogging, other than sloth. Well, sloth and complete lack of inspiration. I just haven't managed to get my butt in gear lately. I'm blaming the heat. I have some things to say on the VN adoption front but I think I will keep that to myself for a bit as I gather my thoughts.
Hoping everyone is staying nice and cool, and I promise I won't let this happen again. Unless the new AC breaks. Then all bets are off. : )
