Today was hot hot hot! And while I am pretty much a HUGE fan of summer and summer like weather...uck. I only like this weather when I'm at the beach, and I could not help noticing that my math class was held in a class room AGAIN today. (Oh yeah, I teach math now, sort of. It's an after school thing.) But I don't know why I'm complaining because at least there was air conditioning. When I was in middle school, (Oh yeah, it's at a middle school.) we had either NO air conditioning or unreliable air conditioning. Which led to many zombie like classes. Of course I never complained about it because we totally got heat days, where we got out of school at 12:30. Which I thought was only fair since we had no chance at snow days unlike the rest of the world. I was sort of bummed when halfway through my freshman year the district installed new ac systems in all the schools. Anyway, my kids were cranky, and I was cranky, and even though we were blessed with icy blasts from overhead we were not fooled...it was too hot for math and WE ALL KNEW IT! Whatever, this paragraph was boring. Hope you skimmed it!
So I went to a jousting tournament this weekend. (Totally should have opened with that instead.) My friend is in a sword fighting class and heard about it so the two of us drove down to San Diego and watched people in armor charge each other with lances. Actual armor. Actual lances. It was so great. Sometimes I just love watching the weird things that people do to entertain themselves. Like football. Anyway, I wanted to give one of the knights a handkerchief as a token of my esteem so people would know I was a lady, but the best I could do was a slightly used hello kitty tissue, and that just didn't seem appropriate somehow. After that we went to the beach and I was reminded yet again just how gross the water in Santa Monica is compared to the rest of the beaches in California. But I digress.
Oh man, when I sat down to write this post I felt like I had so much to say, but now my lap top is making me feel hot again and all I can think of is how I STILL don't have a swimming pool. Anyone want to come over and sit in the sprinklers with me?

A real live jousting tournament! Did you take any pictures?
Hi Hannah! I love to read whatever you have to say. Actually, I just stepped into the blogging world myself. Everyone said that with a baby on the way and moving to Japan it was a must...so I'm trying to learn how to write in a way that people won't go to sleep when they're reading my posts. Maybe I can get some ideas from your blog. I miss you tons!
Sometimes I think frolicking in the sprinklers is far superior to lounging in a pool.
Come to my pool Pumpkin, Em and Joey have seen and coveted it. You must join.
Nice words. No really, I like your blog.
Did you know you were on my blog reader?
Neither did I. Not sure how you got there. But I'm glad you're there.
So I am going to share you with some peeps. Just giving you a heads up, if that's ok, that I will be adding you to my links. I know a few stalkers... I mean, um, BLOGGERS that would really appreciate your writings. Hope you don't mind.
(Amy who used to be in your ward growing up by the way how's Emily??) ;)
What's your address? I need to know where to send this melting smoothie. Hurry.
Thanks for the comment, you rock. I love seeing you around, it should happen more often.
Keep up the posts, I dig your writing.
