Now, I don't want to come across as an ungrateful bitch for all the great things that are going on in my life right now, but it's fucking HOT out. Do you know how nearly impossible it is to enjoy life when it's this hot and humid. Dad just got back from Washington state, where he reports it was 80's and 90's with no humidity whatsoever all week he was there. That sounds LOVELY. If it weren't for the fact that everyone i know and love is on the east coast, i might be tempted to move out there. Believe me, it's a real thought.

But i did have a wonderful day despite the heat. Thanks to Lee and Alan visiting, along with the environmentally hazardous miracle of air-conditioning, today was an adventure of walking and sweating from one air-conditioned establishment to the next, with lots of catching up in between. We had lunch at this great place called The Wrap, which gives you your choice of motifs for filling flavors, and then you can decide whether you want that flavor with chicken, beef, roasted vegetables, or (what i was excited about) the baked tofu. Mmm. It was so good. I got a Bangkok style with peanut sauce and cucumbers. Oh, lordy. They do a good smoothy too.
It was a good time. Then we all (except Matt who had to meet someone at 3:30) made our sweaty way back to the ranch and talked some more, which was great, and played Carcassonne (a great board game) in our miraculously air-conditioned room. A good day.

Well, i'm off to get my laundry. Wish me luck.
