Ok folks, I'm back on GS, day off of work today, which is rare in its own right. But, I just LOVE the timing in my life. The A/C is down, and there's some sort of "heat wave" going on, meaning it's probably hotter in this house than outside. I have every fan we own going at full blast right now, and I have one aimed at myself and my computer as I type this. We called about getting it fixed, but it seems like everyone in the county has theirs broken as well...so there's a very long wait. I don't do well in this heat, so when I went out to mail birthday cards to my mom and sister (whose birthdays are 4 days apart), I realized it could...or, excuse me, would be worse. My car was an oven. My house is situated between 3 different towns, so I debated over which one I should go to. Umm...how about the one to the south? Which, oddly enough, was the furthest town...which had a Wal-Mart. I got to Wally Worldto get the cards, then to the post office, to pay $.88 to get the stamps, mail it out, then decided I really didn't want to go back home, so I went to Zaxby's and waited 30 minutes for my food. Then I sat there for an hour trying to figure out how to beat the heat. My solution: go back home. So I drove back home, and, of course, no one is home, they all went shopping in the largest town in this part of my wonderfully steamin' hot home state of Georgia with my mother-in-law. So, as I sweat bullets in the summer heat (technically not summer for another 8 days), I sit here, dreaming about my A/C working and me taking on Super Mario Galaxy 2. Which I wish I had. That money I had reserved for that will go to this month's power bill...Gotta love it, people!!

I think I had a few solutions if anyone else is suffering along with me (who would wanna do that??):

I don't own this game but go play the first Lost Planet, knowing there is ice EVERYWHERE.

Go play any level on NSMB Wii World 3--you know, the ice world? Just looking at that cools me off...

I'm sure there are more games with ice (Mega Man, Adventure Island, any snowboarding game--my favorite was SSX Tricky) but I'm too hot to think straight...

Now, where'd that bag of ice run off to?
