It’s HOT!

HPIM1379.JPGWe’ve had a couple of cool days here in Texas. The high has been only in the 90’s, with the nights in the 70’s. We had a few 100 degree days in May, and we just got the electricity bill for May: more than $200. please take note: we live in North Texas. While we’re certainly not hurting for money, we ain’t rolling in moolah either. So our thermostat setting went from 76 degrees (I know, COLD, but we’re well-insulated folks) to 80 degrees during the day, and 78 after 9PM. I’m perspiring all day, actually thinking of having Botox treatments to stop my sweat glands! UGH! I’m taking two showers a day, but I’d take more if I didn’t have to supervise my children at every moment of the day.
Did I mention that I’d rather be cold than hot? You can always add more layers when you’re cold. When it’s hot, however, you can only peel off so many articles of clothing before being cited for public indecency. I’ve lived here since I was almost 5 years old. 26 years. You think I’d be used to it by now. NOPE!

From Melissa…

Little Davie attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse’s legs, rump, and chest. After a few minutes, Davie asked, “Dad, why are you doing that?” His father replied, “Because when I’m buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy.”

Davie, looking worried, said, “Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom.”

Empty threats

Was it really less than two weeks ago that I promised to not see any more movies this summer?

As this posts, we are here.  I bought tickets days ago, but kept it secret from the kids, so they wouldn’t ask every ninety seconds if it was time to go.  “But I have my shoes on!” “It’s three AM.  It’s not time yet.”  You know the drill.

Update:
If you are at all a fan of Superman, go see this one.  It’s worth paying theater price, it’s beautiful, especially on a big screen.  I was very impressed (and that’s saying something, I’m the guy that thought the 3d effects of “sharkboy and lavagirl” left something to be desired)
