back in the saddle...

it's not even a question anymore. we have to run the a/c to get through the day. the past few months, we would leave the windows open, turn on the ceiling fan and enjoy the afternoon breeze. there doesn't seem to be an 'afternoon breeze' anymore. i started to wonder why i was getting so irritable in the afternoon, then i realized the backs of my knees were soaked with sweat, and it was so muggy i wondered if i could still breathe! yesterday, we got back from ocala and my first move was to turn on the a/c...it's been glorious!

we had a great time in ocala. mark made a 9 hole golf course in our yard, so we played through several times. i spent an afternoon with my mom, having chicken salad and chocolate cake for lunch, then spending 2 hours trying to get my eyebrows waxed...not that they really need it, but it makes my whole face feel neat - i can't really describe it, but i love having it done. when we finally found someone to wax them, she pulled a uv light over my face and declared that i was getting melanoma. mmm. a diagnosis AND waxing for $10 - what a deal!

we had a great time at youth last night - got groceries afterwords. for future reference 11.30 at night is not the best time to shop for groceries. matt and i got to the checkout and wondered 'what in the world did we even get?' our cart was filled with snacks and funny impulses...this might not be the most balanced eating week.

this break is wonderful. i love having time to read without guilt and going swimming in the apartment pool. that might be on the agenda for the afternoon...

when did you start waxing your eyebrows? when did it start making your face feel neat? i had no idea.

also sumanth says that reading your blog makes his face feel neat.
