RN Twinks, I agree. It started about a week and a half ago here and will continue for at least another week after the fourth. Not only does it make me crazy because Harvey goes nuts every evening over it but we live in the freaking desert. Last year at the city fireworks show they set part of the desert at the fairgrounds on fire and people are setting them off in neighborhoods!

RN I am disappointed that our town may not even have fireworks this year due to the burn ban/drought/water restrictions/not enough rain for a xeriscape to stay alive.

Right now, I'm bitter at my apartment. I came home late Friday night to no hot water. Fine, I went to bed. Saturday, still nothing. I call my landlord, and apparently the boiler in our building broke, and because it's the long weekend, we are without hot water until TUESDAY at the earliest. Not to mention if the boiler has to be ORDERED. I was bitter, so I called around to a few "emergency" plumbing placed in the phone book, and they all confirmed my landlord's story, so I'm SOL for the next few days. Boiling myself these PATHETIC baths takes about 1.5 hours to get about a 4 inch deep bath, and I just have to wriggle. RN, I need to do my dishes, and my laundry too. RN, I hate my apartment.

Right Now I am listening to Hilary bawl her eyes out cause her big brother just left on his big move across country. I am trying to hold it in. She is so upset and this Saturday my sister and husband will be leaving for the same area taking her two closest cousins. Hilary is in for a rough week.

RN Eeyore been there, done that, feel for you. We went a whole winter w/o a water heater because we didn't have the money to buy one. Do you put the boiling water in an empty tub? If so, try putting an inch or so of cold water in there first, then add the boiling water to the tub. When you just do the boiling water alot of it tends to evaporate and you have to boil more water to get an almost acceptable level for a bath. If you put the cold water in there first, it doesn't evaporate as fast and it takes alot less boiled water to make a bath.

RN I am just reading about my friend eeeyore and here bath dilenma. Trust me folks, this girl lives in the tub so this could easily be considered a fate worse than death. She has been known to wake up in luke warm, verging on cool water though, so she just might struggle through. Hope the boiler doesn't take a week to come in like the one at our school did....

A WEEK!?!?! I'll die. RN, I just put about 5 inches of cold water into the tub so it can sit there and get room temperature by the time I add hot water into it later, after I go lay outside to tan. However, in running the cold, I notice it is spitting out chunks of junk from pipes. I'm guessing it is bits of pipe, which certainly doesn't make me want to soak in it!! *sigh* Maybe I'll go get a gym membership later, so I can shower and whirlpool there....

Right now, I've got pasta salad started and refrigerated for tonight's block party on our street and for tomorrow's block party at my brother's house. I have one dip made and one to go. I'm making a cheese and cracker tray too. I am thinking a nap about now would be a good thing.

Right now my hair stylist just left my house. He is off today and I have a wedding tonight, so he came and did an updo. It is really nice. Simple but elegant. I did not want all those curls and stuff. It is a black tie affair, so my gown is all beaded and really pretty. I will post a picture that we will take later.

RN I wonder if eeeyore ever got back to the tub and how the temperature of the water was and how many "Black" things were floating. Cripes girl, do people not run through sprinklers out west? Fondly Wappy
