Birthday CampOut

Happy Birthday Week... to Me!  Actually I think the way this week is going that should be a question not an exclamation.  Sunday morning we woke to a warmer than normal house, which wasn't too unusual considering it is hotter than Hades out there!  We went to church and came back to a very extremely warm house.

This concerned the Husband.  He called a friend and after conversing and checking out our A/C Unit, they both agreed there was most definitely an issue and it was time to call someone.  

So we called and of course Sunday wasn't an option, but they could be there Monday afternoon.  Meanwhile, the house just kept getting hotter :(

We went to Travis & Kelly's House for the evening to escape the heat our house.  When we got home around 9 it was even hotter!  So we decided we had to camp out - downstairs!  Thank goodness for our basement!  It isn't finished and it isn't too pretty, but man is it cool!  The previous owners left a roll of new/old carpet downstairs, so we unrolled it, dragged a mattress down from the spare bedroom and set up camp.  Now it looks like we have squatters living in our basement.

My new vanity... try not to be too jealous

The Husband met the A/C guy this afternoon and quickly found out it wasn't good news.  The compressor was blown - AKA you need a new unit :(  He gave us several options, but ultimately it was agreed that the best option was to replace the unit = $$$$.  But I suppose that is what you get when you buy a forclosure - some good and some bad.  I forgot to mention a few weeks ago, my car began screaming like a banshee when I turned right and shakin' it like a polaroid picture (song?) anytime I got over 50.  So she went to the doctor last week to get some work done... 4 new tires, new brakes, new routers, and a new front axel.  So lets make that $$$$$$$$.


Travis & Kelly invited us back over this evening for dinner since there is NO WAY I'm turning on our oven!  We had salmon burgers and grilled veggies - delish!  If my brain wasn't so fried, I'd have taken my camera! I'm hoping that tomorrow it will all be good when I get home from work - my B-Day is Wed and I'd really REALLY like to be comfortable!


In other unfortunate news, remember how Miss B looked diseased about a month ago?  Well it got better by the end of her antibiotics and we thought we were in the clear.  Then I was looking at her today and turns out they are worse than before, poor thing even has the bumps between her toes :(  I think she might be allergic to her food as we just switched it up about a month or so ago.  So that's fun.  Also she has been stuck in the basement the last two days and is going a LITTLE stir crazy.  She kept trying to go upstairs last night at bedtime - so I finally had to block her off!  Poor thing is super confused!

Then when I left for work she just sat her head on the chairs as I walked away :(

There is some good news this week, the Fair is here!  Yes I'm one of those, I like the fair and all it's cheesiness.  What I'm really excited about is getting me some Fair Food - that is what it's all about - right?  This year they are even having a Farmer's Market night at the Fair - not quite sure what this entails, but I'll be there!

Oh and did I mention that this week is supposed to be the HOTTEST week of the year... AWESOME.

Well I'm off to take a nice COLD shower.

PS.  It is now 98 degrees in our house
