Magical Monday

I'm still melting away over here. It was around 90 again today, which is entirely too hot in my book. I don't know how some people deal with this all summer, cuz I would not be able to deal. 

The list:

1. Air conditioning and fans. I have air conditioning at work, which is a lifesaver right now. Unfortunately at home, I just have a fan, where we just blow around hot air. But it's better than nothing, especially given that it's 86 degrees in my house at the moment. I'm not entirely sure how I survived yesterday.

2. Ice cream. We had a Ben & Jerry's truck at work today, and it was magical and delicious and the perfect afternoon treat. It was also melting super quickly, though, because of the heat. I'm normally not a messy eater, but it got everywhere! It was a good thing I got cookie dough, so the ice cream wasn't dark enough to stain my dress.

3. Slips. Speaking of my dress, I discovered last time that it's a little more sheer than I would like it to be, so after a little bit of searching, I finally got a cheap little slip that I can wear under it to make it less see-through. It's nice to finally be able to wear it again!

4. Tanning. I know tanning is bad for you and all that, but I love laying out in the sun with a good book. So I did exactly that on Saturday, when the heat was still tolerable, only in the 80s. Don't worry, I did have sunscreen on.

5. Sophie Kinsella. I've only read the first two Confessions of a Shopaholic books, since they're always checked out at the library (and I don't have the foresight to put them on hold), but I've read a few of her other books. A little predictable, yes, and completely ridiculous, but so good! I just finished I've Got Your Number, and, as predicted, I loved it (though there was one part that was so awkward it was painful).
