Time Out

I have to take a brief break from being totally frustrated with my sister for losing her job and potentially making us move, to say how much fun she’s being this weekend.

First of all, it’s like five hundred million degrees in RC right now.

And our AC is broken.

(No AC in RC…isn’t that hilarious?)

So Lucie made iced coffee this morning - must have brewed it while I was sleeping because it was perfectly chilled when I got up. Then we had ice cream for breakfast with Cheerios on top. Then we put ice crowns on our head which, if you’ve never had one, is amazing.

Ice Crown Recipe:
1 bandanna
1 freezer

Soak the bandanna in water. Roll it up and form a crown. Lay it on the freezer shelf until it’s frozen. Remove from freezer and place on head. Say “ahhh.”

Repeat until cooled off.

At first the ice crown is so cold you can’t have it directly on your skin which is fine because it sort of sits on your head. Then as it melts, you can press it against your skin and keep yourself cooler. Some people take these and wrap them around their necks which I guess is okay but then it’s not a crown, is it?

After the ice crowns, we went to Best Buy and we hung out and played videogames and then we went to Blockbuster and watched the movie they were showing on the store monitors (“Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” which totally made me want to go to San Dimas to a water park). This afternoon, we’re going to the movies to see whatever is playing and we’ll probably sneak into a second and possibly a third one. By that time, it will have cooled down a tiny tiny bit and then we can go home and have more iced coffee and gazpacho (chilled tomato soup) for dinner.

And then tomorrow, we’ll probably do the exact same thing.

Lucie can be kind of awesome sometimes when she isn’t screwing things up.
