Endless summer, headcolds from hell and IronMan2

Something is amiss in the universe this year. Today, well into fall, is supposed to reach 89 degrees. 89 degrees, people. Really?

Bonuses of extended summers refusing to turn over into the next season thereby prompting wardrobe shifts as well? Getting to wear fun summer stuff for just a little bit longer...For example, I'm wearing my new favorite summer dress. With high heeled sandals. Hell yeah. That's not a bad thing, no siree.

Also, my pedi from last week is holding up very very well thank.you.very.much.most.detail.oriented.pedimen.at.my.new.favorite.pedi.place. So showing off toesies in sandals is fun.

But the weather, well it's about to change. How do I know this? The Balloon Fiesta starts this weekend. While La Nina and other scientifically supported weather effects are in existence, we all know that when it's time for those hot air balloons all hell breaks loose from a weather standpoint. Rain. Wind. Cold. Eclipses. You name it. It's never pretty. So endless summer is sure to shift, anon.

Anyway, where was I? Oh, the headcold part. Seriously, whoever invented this gem of a super simple but highly damned annoying virus had a twisted sense of humor. Mucous can take so many disgusting forms, and the cold showcases most of them. Ugh. And that I.am.totally.drained.with.no.repeat.no.energy.at.all.not.even.enough.to.climb.in.the.shower feeling...is ridiculous. Holy god.

Onward.

Is it wrong of me to say that Robert Downey Jr. is just smokin' hot in the Iron Man movies? And his wiseass, egotistical, narcissistic remarks are just sexy as all getout? Well, he is. And they are. And Pepper Pots? Adorable in a I.can.and.do.kick.ass.with.my.brains.and.my.endless.legs.and.my..great.clothes.and.my.perky.smile kind of way. She rocks. And the music is fun. Fun. ACDC. Yeah baby.

And tonight? Grey's Anatomy. And since I'm not watching Private Practice anymore due to a serious and terminal apathy for the show, I may try to squeeze in an episode from the latest True Blood disk from season 2 that just arrived....

Thursdays. Gotta love 'em.

Oh, and it hasn't escaped my notice that I seem to cuss a lot when I'm sick. (shut up everyone who knows me all the time and is fully aware of my faulty filters...). And I seem to have fixated on the endless sentence with the endless descriptions separated by '.'....I'm just going with it.

  1. I have been griping about endless summer because it is a serious impossibility for me to get dressed looking like fall while it remains so warm. I should've just embraced it like you are.

    I so want to see the balloon festival! In pictures it always looks so spectacular!

    Also, if you have the same cold that's been going around here, it is the mucous-producing cold of eternity. Grim, exhausting, snotful, dreadful.

  2. It has been hot hot hot...but last night, thank goodness, it rained..a cool, lovely, long, high desert rain that washed the dust and heat away and left us refreshed and cool and so comfortable at last!

    The cold..ick. Daughter ended up needing antibiotics after hers (it was a Rhode Island virus that refused to leave her body). Fortunately, mine is resolving less dramatically.

    The fiesta, is amazing. The morning sky, filled with balloons as the worker bees make their way downtown to work...leaves us with a sense of awe. A night glow is even more amazing..they look like ornaments against the night sky, and walking on the field among 800 balloons is amazing. You guys should plan a trip out -- you'd love it! Fall in New Mexico is lovely!

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

What do you wear in Austin in October??

It's suppose to be in the 80's during the day, and only in the 70's at night. It's humid. I'm not sure what to pack. For once I'm attending a conference instead of having a booth at the tradeshow and networking that way. It's going to be good...to be in the classroom, listening to what people are caring about now. I look forward to it. But I'm spending way too much time worrying about whether jeans are too hot, capris are too cliche, clogs are passe, should I just go with a theme and be done with it, and all that crap. Seriously, you'd think I have better things to waste mental energy on, right? Apparently not so much.

Stormy Tuesday, with a chance of showers too....

The emotions, to say they're wildly fluctuating would be an exaggeration, but they are certainly not balanced and I am so not centered and I'm finding it really hard to maintain my train of thought and I'm now even more worried about my son moving to Abu Dhabi now that they're further limiting Blackberry communications, and my daughter has a stomach bug. But other than that, everything's cool in my world. Son heads to Abu Dhabi this Saturday, early evening my time. Daughter heads to Providence, RI, this Saturday, before lunch. Hubby just informed me we're committed to a dinner at his department head's house Saturday night for a 'casual evening with the new headmaster and his wife.' Are you kidding me? WTF? Of all the things I want to be doing Saturday night, I'm pretty sure schmoozing with the new guy (hub's boss for hell sake) is NOT on the list. My list looks more like this: Take a nap after first wave of absolute searingly...
