I have a... what? oh yeah. A blog.
Really, I haven't forgotten this is here. I just haven't felt like writing. Even though I had a definitely blog-able (I refuse to coin the ugliest word in the world by leaving out the hyphen) day on Friday when I went to the San Joaquin Valley, a veritable comedy of errors involving, for example, an incident wherein about two dollars in change sprayed out of my wallet all over the checkout counter at Lowe's, and the whole trip turning out to be unnecessary, and a lot of similar things (but hey, at least it was only a hundred and four degrees out. It could have been worse). I also haven't updated the photo blog in like a week. So much for "pretty much every day". Well, that went out the window a long time ago, really.
The kids start swimming lessons tomorrow. This is probably the number four event of their year, right behind Christmas, their birthdays, and our annual summer Morro Bay trip. LT can swim quite well, when he has a snorkel and mask. Good luck to the swimming teacher who has to teach him not to sink without them, though. C thinks she's a sea lion, and gladly cannonballs and dives off the side into the pool, except that she can't actually swim successfully. Yet. I think she'll really take off during this session, and LT will too.
We have a tenant in our apartment. She's about 21 and looks like, I dunno, picture the most gorgeous classy vivacious charismatic blonde blue-eyed tan 21-year-old you can, with a great figure, who has no stretch marks and no facial blemishes, and that's what she looks like. Good thing I'm so secure in my own appearance that I never ever feel like a dowdy old fat person when I'm around her, right? Of course right.
And really, other than boring you to tears with more accounts of our horrific weather forecasts (woo hoo! down to 103 by next Sunday!), that's all I've got. See why I've not been around?

Well good thing your husband adores long-legged, tiger-eyed, cuty-pie, genius, dark blonde/light brown haired women who make a mean sugar-free black-berry cobbler ;)

Yeah, I'm not worried about that. T prefers brunettes, and anyway, it's blatantly and gleefully obvious that he prefers me. I'm not even going to put something self-deprecating here like "for some strange reason", because I know the reasons. She may be gorgeous, but she's not the woman who completes his life, and he wouldn't be the man to complete hers. So I guess I have grown up in at least that one way. :)

116 here yesterday. Even at 7AM and 5500 feet it was hot.

Ugh. 116. T thinks it would be great to move to Arizona. But then he doesn't mind the heat.

Who would have thought that 103 would be not too bad!!??

The Mojave was 117 last week as we drove through. I had no idea until I emerged from my air-conditioned vehicle to get gas...! SAUNA!
