It’s the Heat Talking . . .

We’re havin’ a heat wave so today I have one of my “a little bit of this and a little bit of that” kind of posts! Some of it silly, some of it helpful, and hopefully none of it boring!!! You’d let me know, wouldn’t you?

Would you believe I just put a snowflake cloth on the table? Yes, snowflakes!!! It is so darn HOT here that I’m hoping it will have us imagining that we’re cool! 😉

Oh and I’m so excited about something I’ve just figured out! You may have read about my saga at the hair salon, (see it here). Recently though, I tried a new tactic! Next time you want a haircut, bring a photo of YOU – one that was taken on a day when your hair looks just the way you like it. No explaining for you to do and no guesswork for the stylist. I just tried it and it worked!!!

Have you noticed that fortune cookies don’t really tell your fortune anymore? I miss that! Lately they all seem to have pithy little sayings but no predictions for the future!

I‘d also like to weigh in on this week’s questions . . .

Pampering at a hotel or camping under the stars?

I’d have go with the hotel stay as opposed to camping. I love the “idea” of sleeping under the stars – but I’d rather do it from the balcony of a penthouse suite in a fancy hotel. Hey! I can dream can’t I? Since I married for love and not money – I fear the penthouse suite will forever be a pipe dream, though! You see, I didn’t listen to my grandmother. She used to jokingly say, “It’s just as easy to fall in love with a rich man!” You would have loved my grandmother – she was a riot!

What would I find hard to live without besides family, friends, and pets??

Definitely indoor plumbing. I know this because we have a well for our water, and of course the pump is run by electricity. Whenever there’s a surprise storm and we lose our power; it’s not just a matter of worrying that food will spoil or that we don’t have enough candles. No, no. Our problem when a power line is down is that we can’t . . . flush! Having had that experience several times over the years has convinced me that I could never live without indoor plumbing.

So, if it’s hot where you are, put out that fabric snowman!

It couldn’t hurt. 😀

  1. Have you ever tried holding a “Christmas in July?” I thought it sounded silly, then we did it one year and it was ridiculous fun.

    Of course, our actual Christmas tree is usually Hawaiian-themed.

  2. Crystal…I’m so with you about sleeping under the stars! AND HAVING PLUMBING!!! I call myself a country girl, but don’t stick me in a tent by a stream and tell me to rough it for a couple of days…it’s not going to work! I need my clean bathroom, my blow dryer and my nice clean sheets!

    Something I couldn’t live without would probably be my animals and my ability to be creative. Aside from family and friends, those two things are such a big part of my life.

    Now you’ve got me thinking…would my neighbors think I totally flipped if I took down my garden angel flag, and put up my “think snow” flag? I’m sooooo tempted!!!!

    Hugs,
    Paulette :o)
