I'm Having a Veruca Salt Moment

And not the alternative rock band type. The "I want my golden goose and I want it now" type.

Last week Mother Nature gave us a taste of that sweet, sweet fall weather. The crisp, clean air. The blue, clear sky. The hint of changing leaves. And with that, my mind immediately switched from "Woe is me, summer has come to an end" to "OMG I LOVE FALL SO MUCH. IT'S MY FAVORITE."

But it was all rudely yanked away and is about to be replaced with heat from the center of the earth.

I mean...it's September, not July. If I didn't have to go to work tomorrow I'd be at the beach or at a lake getting my swim on. 

So now I'm all "Give me pumpkins and apples and cider donuts and baking and Halloween and gorgeous foliage...and GIVE IT TO ME NOW!"

*I also wouldn't say no to 10,000 tons of ice cream.

   

Basically...

My entire week boils down to this:

All I'm doing is working for the weekend so I can see The Hunger Games. I'm going to be so disappointed if it sucks!

Today it was hot! It was 79 degrees at afternoon recess on the last day of WINTER! When you live in New England sometimes you get blizzards in October and this on the first day of spring:

I got a new bathroom ceiling today! There is now dust on every surface of my apartment but I no longer have insulation hanging out over the tub. 

This morning I emptied my bathroom and piled everything in the hallway outside (everything being bathmat, shower curtain, and all my shower stuff). When I got home it was all back in it's place. I thought it was strange that the contractor hung up my shower caddy before he left (and vacuumed my entire apartment) but at least it doesn't look like he tried on my underwear.

      

Today Was...

A "keep the shades down" kind of day.



It is f-ing HOT today in MA...like mid-July hot.  Lay in a lake all day hot.  Sleep with the fan pointing at your head hot.  Closing the shades is my attempt at keeping my apartment cooler than a sauna.  But give it half an hour or so and I'll be eating ice cream in front of the AC in my underwear. 

#File under:  I promise I'm not as trashy as that sounds.


  

OMG SUN!

I'M ON A VITAMIN D HIGH!!!

Today I subbed a half day at a school where the kids called me by my first name.  It was so strange to hear "Amy" coming from the mouth of an 11 year old.

THIS AFTERNOON THERE WILL BE:

Sun.

Flip flops.

Ice cream.

A phone call with my name twin.

 

HAPPY LONG WEEKEND!

   
 

Wednesday Was

Hot...

Full of soul...



And puppy kisses.

HOTT (With Two T's!)

It was hot today.  Like really hot.
