the heat!!!
Yeah I know it is hot everywhere in the country right now, but since it is my blog I am going to say how ridiculously hot it is here right now. Now don’t get me wrong, I love it hot out (in fact I don’t mind it even in the low 90’s), but 105+ is a little crazy. Yeah you read that right, there is a heat advisory because the heat index is over 105 degrees right now! Oh, and that heat advisory is supposed to last until wednesday. Is there enough electricity in the world to air condition everyone’s houses until then!? Unlike a lot of people we don’t keep our central air crazy cold (why turn the air down below the temp you would heat in the winter?), but still the central air does feel very, very nice right now. Living on ice cream until the heat lets up also sounds pretty good to me…
On to other topics… the other night it was storming so I thought I would knit for a little while. I started knitting a blanket awhile back (um maybe 2 years ago, it was before i was married…). Well, it is going to be a purple and gray stripped blanket. The stripes are going to be fairly big so each stripe takes awhile. Still that is no excuse for why I am still working on the first purple stripe. I couldn’t believe how little I have worked on it, well that is until I pulled it out of the closet and tried to work on it. Pounce & Axel love it when I knit! Yeah, they love it so much they try to eat the yarn, bat it across the floor, chew on my knitting needles, or swat quickly at my knitting needles. So I quickly remembered why I am only so far on my blanket. It is because I have two very adorable kittens that are way better than being able to say “oh I knit that blanket.”
This afternoon I am going to do a little sewing, stay inside with the a/c, and maybe eat a little ice cream.
