cursed
Posted: July 19, 2006 Filed under: Uncategorized 12 Comments »My birthday is tomorrow.
Our A/C conked out late last night after a three day heat wave (gee… should I not have insisted that it keep me cooled to 70 degrees at all times – I swear, the Clomid made me do it! Or the HCG! Whatever it is – I have been HOT for weeks and Wes is constantly freezing in our home but one good glare shuts him right up).
The A/C died last year, too. Just in time for my birthday.
I really want to move. And I don’t think I will ever again be so gung ho for central A/C. I want thru-the-wall units in each room so we can save on energy costs and so that if one conks out, I can go sleep in another room. I hate being hot. I put in my time from birth to age 14 in Phoenix, AZ, dammit, and I am DONE with hot. And I hate humidity. This time of year in NYC makes me crazy. The heat wave is over – it’s only hitting 85 today – but I am still so damn hot. I am so hot. I am so hot that I am going to go spend inordinate amounts of time at the mall with my mother-in-law. Dammit.
Crappity crap crap crap, Bri. Cool off anyway you can.
And happy early bday.
The Mall? Ick. But it is cool there. Might I perhaps suggest a good big movie theater where you can like, buy one ticket and then movie hop all afternoon??
see: my fear of authority
I have never movie-hopped in my entire life. Sad but true.
Wow. 70? I’m with Wes on that one – we keep the office a/c at 76-78!
I still think you should try the Big Mall near me: tons of places to sit, eat, shop (plus movies). You could spend an easy day here… although we’re experiencing the same heat ya’ll are Down South ; )
You ARE hot!
My AC conked out yesterday and hubby fixed it today
Never mind central AC, I want a central vacuum cleaner system. In my mind, its one step closer to human sized pneumatic tube travel.
wait- you have never movie-hopped? Man.
A trick I learned from some random tv show to cool down quick:
pour cool water on the inside of your wrists.
This is too much. I rememeber when this happened last year!
I have a spare bedroom and small bath on my ground floor. You and Wes are wecome to it. It is air-conditioned.
Happy Birthday.
I have an iTunes gift card for you.
Thanks, mactechwitch!! By the way, we have decided to go to the movie sans party tomorrow – it will just be me and Wes and the kid and the mother-in-law and my sister. You are welcome to come if you like – we’ll be there around 7:30 or so. Anyone else who wants to is also welcome – I’ll post more details tomorrow. I just couldn’t, in good faith, have a party so small that the main event would be getting your ear talked-off by my (extremely lovely and wonderful but talkative) mom-in-law. I could just imagine the Mondales looking horrified and trying to escape the whole time.
The increased progesterone is making me cook from the inside out. That’s as good an excuse as any for your air-con addiction!

Does that mean I should stop watching the mail for my plane ticket?
Sorry, Bill, love. It’s all we can do to keep the kid in Armani. We’ve got not a lot to spare. Miss you.
