A Post that Is Not About Breastfeeding in Public
But it is about our house. Sort of. I could give you a bullet list of everything we've done in the last two weeks, but that would be pretty boring. I could give you incredibly cute photos of the Bug in the knitted top I just finished, but that would involve locating the digital camera, downloading photos, etc. etc. So, instead, suffice to say it's Africa Hot here, the new house is coming along nicely (though we've been trying not to run the air conditioner because it is a) the size of a buick, b) has a clogged condenser drain that is located in the crawlspace and c) probably costs a fortune to run).
We just got done with a visit from Adam's parents, who bought us stuff and helped us landscape the front yard, thus earning lots of brownie points with the neighbors. We bought one of those cool-ass steam cleaner thingies, and finally tried it out today. I've been blasting the shit out of windown panes, tile, you name it. Probably not the best idea on an Africa-hot-with-99%-humidity day, but what the hell.
The visit also included a trip to Michigan (the beach in New Buffalo is only about half an hour away), where we watched the seagulls, had lunch, and bought some awesome Michigan peaches.
Oh, and some asshat has been shooting people near Indianapolis. They caught the kid, and now the paranoid people up in Hammond are apparently calling the police every time a rock hits their windshield. There have been four suspicious incidents in the past week, but no bullets recovered. I don't know what to think, but it still makes me nervous to send Adam up there each day right now... However, I think the headline should read:
TERROR AT PIEROGI FEST!
It's too hot to blog. I'm going to go make some gin lemonade and hem the curtains.
