It has officially reached 2nd Circle of Hell hot and humid here in Ohio, and the forecasts call for it to be somewhere near the 7th Circle of Hell hot by Sunday. And with a car with no air conditioning (Aaron’s car has A/C, but mine is broken), it limits what you can do. So we haven’t done much.
I could bore you with one of those, strangely long, “I can’t think of anything to write today” posts, but instead I thought I’d share some pictures of how we’ve been spending our summer days.
First, a few weeks ago we spent a lot of time at Com Fest. It’s the yearly community festival held over a summer weekend, and it’s one of the biggest parties in town. Lots of hippies, lots of music, lots of social action groups, and lots of breasts (because it’s legal to be topless in Columbus). Aaron’s parents help organize it (hippies), and by the number of pictures Aaron’s dad took of Cordy, you’d have thought she was a celebrity.
Next, on days like today, there’s nowhere else to go except to water. Luckily, Mommy off the Record gave us a fab tip on a cool pool from Target. Today we invited Cordy’s friend B. over to play as well.
And, if it’s too hot to do any of that? We stay inside and dress up.
More to come tomorrow, when I will finally post my first handwritten blog post. I just started a new quarter of classes, and let’s just say Chemistry lab was so boring it made me blog on paper during class.
a handwritten post eh?
How cute is that girl of yours? Looks like she is really enjoying her summer. And, I want that pool! Too bad I don’t have a target near by!
It’s supposed to be very hot here this weekend and into next week. We are about a half hour south of the ohio border so we aren’t too terribly far from you so I know how ya feel. Our kids have a kiddie pool and a slipnslide outside. It will sure get some good use next week.
BTW, love the photos.
My child and I are both sporting ‘fros due to the unbearable humidity. Yick.
At least Columbus doesn’t have problems with breastfeeding women. Oh, wait. It is Columbus. They would find a way to somehow let women go topless, but frown at feeding your child from those exposed breasts.
We got a pool at Meijer’s. One big enough for Aveline and Mommy to enjoy. Now if I could only find a swim suit big enough to cover my belly and my ass.
I used to write poetry during my chemistry lectures at Ohio State. That could be why I took that class a few times.
Ooh, I love the idea of Com Fest! Sounds right up my alley. Except the boobs. Prepartum…maybe. Now, not so much.
It’s crazy hot here, too. Hate humidity.
But LOOOVE the muggy curls on the Amazon Princess!
cordy gets cuter every picture!
dont let me go to one of those festivals! I dont want to embarass my son because i am sure i wouldnt be able to resist flashing my boobs… lol yeah im a social phobe, but come on im fun lol i wont talk to you but ill show ya the goods.. im nice like that
She’s such a cutie pie. I love her hair!
It’s legal to be topless in Columbus? Seriously? Are you joshin’ me?
I may have to buff up so I can participate. I’m totally kidding. 😉
Wooohooo you got the pool!
OHMYGOSH…the curls. I LOVE her curls!
We have an almost identical pool, complete with the spraying palm tree. Something else my daughter has loved from Target is a spraying Dora mat. Everytime she runs across it, she gets sprayed…perfect for these brutal temps!
