Randomness. In list form.

1. This morning, I was reminded why my "charming" 1940s-ish apartment isn't so charming in summer. Two words: Window.Units. You know it's hot when Gracie gets up to go sleep in the living room. (I think the one in the bedroom was bought at cheapo window units r us b/c it sucks while the living room is quite pleasant.) I've started to go back to the old summer routine of shower, makeup, walk to living room to stand in front of a/c. Go back to bathroom. Blowdry. Go back to stand in front of a/c. It's quite a process. (There's no a/c in the bathroom. It's awesome.)

2. We're booking hotels for vaca! I also may have added a countdown to my blog. I'm getting excited. :) We just couldnt justify even a couple nights here, but my gawd this place is awesome: http://www.ladera.com/. You have a pool... IN YOUR ROOM. *insert OMG face* haha! And yes, I say we're booking "hotels" b/c we've found a few we wanna try out in different areas of the island.

3. I'm a tinge cranky today...I think I need to get to bed at a reasonable hour tonight. Yup. A little wine with dinner should help that process right along. haha..

4. Dude. I am DYING to know (1) IF we're getting raises and/or bonuses of any kind and (2) what they are going to be. You see, we have our reviews, then our bosses submit for raises, they have to get approved, then we find out late April-early May. What a process. I realize I'd be fortunate to get anything in this economy, but the suspense is killing me over here b/c it's all anyone can talk about.

5. I wanted to get outta here at lunch, so I went to the mall (to get Camilles. Duh). (PS did you know Panera closed and is now a mediterranean bistro?) I wandered into Victorias Secret to try on a swimsuit for sizing purposes (they have more online). Before I get to my point, they have HORRIBLE lighting in there! Have you ever noticed that?! I think it every time I'm back there. Of all stores, they're by FAR the worst. Anyway.. I left my friggin car keys in there and had to run back through the mall, tuna salad in tow. Sheesh. haha..

Grey's is back tonight. Yeehaw!!

We have a window unit in our bungalow... I've never had one before! But I haven't turned it on. It's only in the living room, so even on hot days I figure we'll keep the overall temperature in the house cooler if we open all the windows and turn on the fans to get some cross breeze. It was 100 degrees over the weekend- HOT- but fortunately it's always breezy here and humidity doesn't exist. ;)
