So remember me complaining about how cold it was in Chicago a few weeks ago?? Yea, I take it back. It is 8:05am currently... and temperature is already 81 degrees. It is supposed to top out at 98 today - although, I wouldn't be surprised if it got higher than that. YUCK! Luckily, we already put our ACs in .... so the house is nice and cool for most of the day.... my car, however, is a much different story.
The plan for today (Tuesday) is to take my poor little VW Beetle to the mechanic.... he's sick! The AC in the car does not blow cold air and if I drive it around for too long, the engine overheat light comes on. Yikes!! Word to the wise - VW's are the most convoluted, counter-intuitive cars ever made - especially Beetles. The cuteness factor pales in comparison to the inevitable pain-in-the-ass factor when you're plagued with every imaginable electrical problem and it costs you twice as much for routine repairs because they've crammed a full size engine into roughly the space of a deck of playing cards.
UGH
This is not exactly how I wanted to spend my day today - the first of two days of no classes before my summer courses start on Thursday. Yes, Spring Quarter wrapped up yesterday - I was busy submitting final papers and such which is why I didn't post.
BF leaves again this weekend - on an Alaskan Cruise with his family. I was invited to go too... but my extreme fear of large bodies of water and boats... and the fact that I have summer class/ tests etc. sort of made it impossible for me. He'll be gone for another week - which will give me the opportunity to re-tidy the house back to the levels it was at when he was in Taiwan. I love him, but he's just inherently messy.
OH - we ARE going to talk about how stupid Bachelorette Ashley is that she cried over Bentley the Villain's untimely departure last night - but I missed half the show because we were out so I'll have to Hulu it later. Expect a rant though because Bentley is pretty much a douche-bag and Bachelorette Ashley is apparently a moron.
