The Heat is On - 7/23 & 7/24 FUN

Ailarie · Jul 23, 2011

Hope everyone has some safe, COOL fun this weekend! Me? I am visiting with a friend and her little Lancealot, and hopefully will be visiting Vegas and Blue at some point over the weekend.

Wow, not much fun yet today, eh? But that video clip is definitely apropos. 
 
Anyway, I'm off to visit my mom in the hospital now. I spoke with her again this morning, and she's doing really well...

Glad your mom is doing well, Bob! Hope she continues to have a nice recovery!
 
Busy weekend here. We are dropping DD2 off at camp tomorrow for a whole week. It's only 45 minutes away, so I'm not too worried! I think she'll love it!! My class is also coming to an end, so I have 2 huge projects due this week. Aaaaaaaargh!!!! It will be okay once they are complete!
 
Stay cool everyone! I'm looking forward to the heat breaking!

Just got back from the first half of a wedding. Seriously, 1pm ceremony and a 5pm reception. I'm not really sure what to do with myself. But interestingly, today is my Mom's first anniversary! 
 
 
Glad to hear your moM is doing well boB.

GREAT PICS!!!
 
 
I'm in for the party at Duck's.

Hi!!! 
 
I picked THE HOTTEST WEEK to move. <img alt="sad2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad2.gif"> But, it all went well, no boxes were lost (although there was a period of about 30 minutes where I thought my wok, toaster, and all my silverware hadn't made it <img alt="laughing7.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/laughing7.gif">), and there were only 4 items sacrificed to the breakage gods. I'm in my new apartment, I *love* it, and my parents are helping me get pictures and curtains hung, and assorted other small projects. My dad is handling it well, although we had to FORCE him to stop making trips up and down the stairs in the heat yesterday. GAH. 
 
Yay for boB's mom's continued recovery! 
Yay for Tonya's mom's anniversary! 
Where do I sign up to babysit the gimp with the bunny and chickens? THAT sounds like a party I want to join! <img alt="lol.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/lol.gif"> ((((Duck)))) 
Ailarie, those pictures are great....you look soooo happy and fantastic! Nice semi-boat pose with the baby, btw. 
 
Ok, it's time to make some tea. We're going to drive down to look around campus for a bit before it gets scorching hot. FWIW, it was 109* yesterday. That is actual temperature, peeps...not heat index. To quote Katholeenie, OY. 
 
Thinking of you all today.....and our big guy. Miss you Voodoo.

Hi all - yesterday was a fairly productive day; mailed off some old floppy disks & CDs for recycling, dropped off some donations at Goodwill and the library, shopped for groceries, put in a few job applications, did some laundry and other domestic type stuff, so I can't complain too much.
 
Today I'm sort of undecided on what to do - I'll figure it out I'm sure.
 
Wishing cooling vibes to all you folks...weather is kinda' crazy right now (I saw that report about a 7" rain deluge in the Chicago area - that sounds like the tropics, not the Midwest)
 
Ann - you got 'er done under some tough conditions; glad to hear the moving is going well
 
Ailarie - love those pics!
 
Continued healing to your mom, boB, and first anniversary congrats to your mom, Tonya!
 
Duck - sounds like you've got plenty of volunteering help on the way there <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">
 
And a final shout out to our big guy Voo - miss you lots!

I just requested Tremors from the library.

The small dish in my hand was what I had just out of the machine, which was soft-serve consistency. The rest is packed in a tub in the freezer to get harder. It is a fantastic vanilla! Normally I'm the kind of person who likes to put stuff on top of my vanilla ice cream, but this really doesn't need extras. I'm looking forward to making more ice cream in the future. It won't be a constant thing, most likely. I gave that up when I lost the weight, but I figure if I'm going to eat ice cream at all, it will be the good stuff.
 
My own answer to my Friday QOD came when I found this recipe yesterday: <a href="http://ivoryhut.com/2010/04/simple-thai-tea-ice-cream/" target="_blank">Thai Tea ice cream</a>
