26 Going On 70

This climate is making me so much more like my Okie grandmother and great-grandmother...After both of my lukewarm/cold showers every day, I powder up. I see now where I grandma is coming from with this shit. Yes, Shower-to-Shower is old lady-scented, but I don't mind smelling like a sachet when I can be chafe-free and less sticky.

So then once I'm all lavender-ed up, I put on a "house dress" if anything at all. The a/c hovers around 80 degrees, which is comfortable but still a little sweaty. Why bother with real clothes? I was totally wearing this super sexy moo-moo when the maintenance guy came by today to fix some stuff.

I was inspired to buy this polyester beauty at House of Vintage by Tracie, my hero/stay-at-home Jezebel-editor extraordinaire. However, my great-grandma wore the same things everyday while she played solitaire on her coffee table and watched her "stories" or creepy televangelism.
Hmm, I watched True Blood and played Spider Solitaire on my laptop in between unpacking and doing housewife-y stuff today....

So, it's hot. And I am basically a crotchety old lady. As soon as we're mostly unpacked, I'll start looking for age appropriate hobbies/a job. But I'll still smell like a grandma.

The day the internet died

So after the last post our internet decided to fail for a while. It is finally back up (what Leah did to fix it I will never know) so I can post. Anyway, we went out with a couple of my co-workers and their girlfriends on Saturday night. It was pretty fun. We met up at the brewery for a couple free beers and then headed downtown. Down there we went to a Creole restaurant and had some jambalaya and *gasp* alligator. One of the guys from the brewery had ordered these "gator bites" and they tasted a lot like orange chicken. They were pretty delicious. We then went to a bar for quite a long time until it got a little too "bro-y" then we took off. We got home at about 1am and found out that 1am was the one time of the day when the weather was actually pleasant (we had a 3-day heatwave where we had 100 degree days with 50% humidity. It was gross). Another lesson learned was that to get Leah to move mattresses, you just have to feed her gin and tonics. Unloading was a success!!

Other than that, today was my first day at the brewery and it was pretty low-key and I enjoy the people I work with. Despite it being a 10 hour day, it was still pretty good. We are still unpacking and settling in and trying to find the things we are missing from our apartment.

To end on a positive note, the bugs are still large, we are getting eaten alive by mosquitoes, and we can't cook without setting off the fire alarm.
