Humidity...

I've started working out in the mornings before work, but this morning I got up and just can't moving... well, I looked up the weather and apparently it's 76 degrees (not bad!) at 74% humidity (ugh!). I think biking to work will be enough today. Maybe I'll make up and work out tomorrow.......

It's hot here...

... but I finally think I am adjusting. It always takes me a big to adjust to Chicago summers, this summer especially since it was so hot and cold this spring. Also, considering that Austin's temperatures for this week our in the 100s I am not complaining about Chicago's measly 94 degrees. I actually think Austin's heat will be easier to deal with because we'll have AC at home.

At least it finally feels like summer...

June Update

It appears our "Chicago Reception" Party is going to be a "We're married and moving" party. We are trying to get everything set to move to Austin in October!! Details to come, of course!

We are also a month away from our trip to Maine and our Maine Reception. It's an exciting time to be Tall Tree newlywed.

Renesting, of sorts.

JP and I are in the mist of moving things around in preparation for our new roommate. We are so focused on moving to Austin that we are doing really well at getting rid of things. Clearing out the back room and the closet are scary reminders of how much stuff I have in my possession. We're going to need four months to get everything organized and packed... oh man.

Premature mourning

My phone randomly revived itself. I am still not fully trusting of it, but for now it is saving me the expense of having to buy a new phone!

Mourning the loss of another cellphone.

I have maintained a very close relationship with my electronic connection to the world (my cell phone) since first obtaining one in 2002. Seven years under my belt I felt a certain pride in that most of my cellphone deaths were not completely my fault. I lost a cell phone to baby slobber when I first started nannying. Another in a rainstorm. Oh, that is an unfortunate consistency. I lost some simply because they were for work and no longer needed. I lost others because the phones were old and were well beyond needing to be replaced.

My current phone is my least favorite of all phones. It was a daily irritant, however, it was mine. It was highly allergic to water, a fact I learned the hard way last summer when the little H man sprayed me down with water. However it revived itself and I tried to treat it carefully, and love it despite it's faults. But today, today I failed. I joined the masses of cellphone addicts who have committed unintentional cellphone slaughter. I dropped my cellphone in the toilet. Death by toilet water. I hang my head in shame.
