Fair Weather Girl

How on earth did the early settlers live without air conditioning?!? Our air conditioner gave out on us last night and I reached a new level of desperation to get it fixed today...Whatever dollar amount we were quoted, I was willing to pay in order to have some refuge from the 90+ degree humid heat that was looming outside our door. The thermostat read 86 degrees!! I found a spot on the furthest-most left corner of the couch that offered me the maximum wind exposure from the ceiling fan, but even that wasn't good enough. And I could tell that Emmy was miserable, too, she was kicking me like a mad woman. Nick, my Iraq war vet, was laughing when I told the service girl at One Hour Heating and Cooling that it was an emergency, but to me, it was no joke. Thankfully, it was a quick fix (and the service charge on Saturday was no different than any other day of the week) and now my house is nice and cool just as it should be this time of year. What a relief...

On a brighter note, Nick and I made our way down to Nashville this afternoon to join up with the Boslers and the Heads for a minor league baseball game. Not long after we arrived, and learned who was playing, I became rather conflicted. The Nashville Sounds vs. the Fresno, CA team...Who was I to root for? My present home team or my childhood home team (sort of)? I chose neither. Instead, I opted for some titillating girl talk with Amber and Lindsay for the duration of the game. :-D I do believe the Nashville Sounds were victorious by a fairly hefty margin (what, I'm not so sure...) The boys enjoyed some well-deserved guy time sitting back watching the game over some cold ones :-). I would say that our Saturday definitely ended better than it started :-).
