I hesitate to say "summer has arrived!" in Chicago.. since we've had more than a few false starts this Spring - but today - the "unofficial start of summer" - certainly seemed summery to me! I didn't happen to see what the temperature topped out at - I think it was forecasted to be 92 degrees at the warmest part of the day. Very sultry! BF and I took a short walk around noon - it was beautiful outside, but my fair skin and the elevated humidity made a longer walk difficult.
Thankfully, the electrical woes of yesterday seem to have abated - just in time, too! If I hadn't been able to turn on the AC in the living room today, I never would've lasted... I'm hoping that it was just a glitch yesterday - a side-effect of the torrential rain storms and not a black omen of more electrical problems to come. I know my landlady will join me on that one!
Tonight was yet another thrilling installment of "The Bachelorette" (BTW, get used to it guys, every Monday night for the next 10 weeks you're going to have to hear about Ashley and her hoards of strapping lads... sorry) I really do live for Mondays - although I'm finding that I'm not enjoying this season as much as Brad "The Wombat" Womack's season... it is early yet.
The most compelling "character" right now is Bentley the Villain - who, in an unexpected twist, couldn't really give a crap about the Bachelorette and has actually said as much! Fascinating! Way to keep us on our TOES ABC execs! You see, NORMALLY the Villain/ Villainess of the season is the one who is certifiably crazy, maybe just a bit trashy, and completely believes that this person that they met 3.5 minutes ago is legitimately the one for them..... Bentley is a new breed of Villain who is the opposite of all those things (except for maybe the trashy part.... I believe he said his daughter's name was Coozy... or Coochy ... or something- TRA-SHY!!) and is really just staying in the game to amuse himself and get some free publicity. He is pretty cute though.. perfect fodder for lots of lady "hate". Scrumptious.
Who needs CARBS when there's the never-ending drama of The Bachelorette to keep me entertained!?!
