It is really, really hot and I am not impressed. I'm not a warm-weather girl, never have been and never will be. Put me a turtleneck sweater in a snowstorm any day and I'm a happy girl. This? No thank you.
So! Last night I FINALLY saw Sex and the City: The Movie!!! I met up with Heidi and Magda and had a really great time. Such fabulous ladies. Pomegranate margaritas and guacamole with chips. Delish. Loved the movie, and will write more about it later.
I went to Target today with the intention of buying a new air conditioner. As I mentioned the other day, mine broke at the end of last summer, which wasn't so terrible. Well, they had ONE left, and it was $475. Seriously. Yeah, I didn't buy that. I did buy another fan (3 of 3) and will be buying an AC this week. Ugh.
Right, and now I will be driving to DCA (Reagan National ) to pickup Steve at 12:30am. His first flight was delayed, and landed in Atlanta after the connecting flight had departed. Ooops. The next flight they had gets him in after midnight. I've had his car all week, so I need to pick him up. He did offer to get a cab, but then his car would still be at my apartment, and he kinda needs it to get to work tomorrow.
How was your weekend?
a reminder to myself

- I grew up in New England and now I live in Washington, DC where I work for the federal government. I've lived abroad in Luxembourg, Poland and Canada, and would like to live abroad again. I love to travel and fill my passport with stamps. I read a lot and want to build libraries where they don't have any. I have a lot of cookbooks and love using them. I have an adorable godson named Jackson. I also sponsor two little girls through World Vision; six-year old Majlinda in Albania and two-year old Boikokobetso in South Africa. I love cupcakes, poppies, chocolate chip pancakes, peonies, strawberries and deviled eggs. I collect tea towels, teapots, Boleslawiec Polish pottery, vintage sewing supplies, Peter Rabbit books/pieces and Russian babushka nesting dolls. My two favorite childrens books of all time are Miss Rumphius and The Velveteen Rabbit and I would like to write my own books someday. I'm learning to quilt and have become a bit obsessed with buying fabric! I also love red shoes and wear them frequently. Steve, my boyfriend, keeps me sane most days, except for the ones when he's the one making me crazy! All in all, life is good and keeps me on my toes.

Air conditioners are SCARCE now. Yesterday I went to Wal-mart and they were down to one air conditioner too.
awwww how awesome that you guys had that DC bloggers happy hour :-) i had a relaxing weekend by the pool. i AM a warm-weathered girl, i can't stand the cold. my idea of heaven is to feel the sun slowly burning my skin :) it's sick, really.
I didn't realize they sold anything that expensive at target! Except, you know, for those weird leather sofas they have sometimes. But a $475 air conditioner? Dang!
Hope your reconnection with Steve was fantastic, and maybe not too sweltering at 12.30? The humidity. Is killing me. I'm melting.
It was so, so good to meet you! We'll have to meet up again :)
Home Depot is the bomb for air conditioners! Order online and they'll deliver.
I am in San Francisco for one more week lol fly out here, the weather is awesome, I am glad to have missed the heatwave.
Stay cool.........
