it's getting hot in here, so replace our air conditioner...

since wednesday, the inside of our house has been averaging 90 degrees. summer pissed off our air conditioner, so AC quit his job, saying he was going to go back to school to really "make something of himself." we've hired another air conditioner but he can't start until next week. pretty much every person i've told this sad, sorrowful story to has said the same thing: get a hotel. but you see that would cut into our wine/starbucks fund and let's be honest -- that's just not going to happen. a few things i've learned since AC quit.

deodorant does not work on your face.
i swear i saw our curtains start to sweat and then our refrigerator passed out from heat exhaustion.
there is no cool side of the pillow when their is no AC. I honestly had no idea those two were related.
restuarants don't like you to sit in a booth for 4 hours and just order water.
we were asked if we wanted a window unit installed. we declined -- we want our air conditioner fixed.

so the upside? when you show up at the gym already sweaty, people are really impressed.

downside? when you show up to work already sweaty, no one asks you to lunch.
