I had a wonderful weekend. I spent a good amount of time at the pool with my daughter. We swam-raced, played tag, did flips in the water, and had an all around good time. I danced in the water and Grace reminded me that dancing in public is not allowed unless she has given me prior permission. I danced anyway. She also educated me in "pool love." It's a crush that forms at the pool. She caught "pool love" but not the boy's name. This happened twice. I also managed to slightly tan my legs. This has happened one other time in my life. I think. Maybe not even once. They'll be bright white again by this afternoon.
I got a new swimming suit that actually fits. If you're looking to get yourself a new suit and don't want to spend a lot of money, I suggest JC Penney. Walmart is down to a couple of funky one pieces and all of the 2 piece tops are extra small and the bottoms are size 3x. I'm not sure how that happened. Target's selection isn't that great either. I couldn't find a decent suit for less than $50. I'm cheap and that's too expensive. Anyway, I found a lovely one piece that covers all my lumps and chub. Unlike many females I saw this weekend, I prefer to keep that stuff covered. Not because I'm ashamed of it, but because I know other people don't want to see it. Props to those ladies for not giving a rat's ass what other people might think.
I followed a fire truck and ambulance all the way from downtown to the airport today. I didn't do it on purpose. They just happened to be driving all the way across town at the same time as me. As I was driving behind them, I started thinking about the fires in the sandhills and how miserable the firefighters must be. I've been thinking for a long time that I want to get a job doing art with nursing home residents. I changed my mind this morning. I want to go around and take care of the emergency workers who are saving lives. I like to cook. Maybe the city would hire me to cook meals at a fire station. I really feel like my job should be doing good for other people who are doing good things. Answering the phones and helping customers reach someone to install wi-fi on their multimillion dollar aircraft is not what I was meant to do. It's a good job and I have a good time at work, but it's not what I was meant to do. I need to be up and moving around and contributing to society. Unfortunately, I don't have a college education and I'm not sure how to go about doing this stuff while getting good benefits and making a living wage.
I want it to cool off a wee bit because I've been coming across some delicious looking recipes and it's too hot to cook. I'm scared if I turn on the oven, my air conditioner will go into overdrive (more so than it already is) and give out. It's not a valid fear. The air conditioner is young. It can handle it, but I'd rather not wear it out any faster. I'm trying to figure out how to make these things in the microwave.
I've just heard that the excessive heat warning has been extended until Wednesday. Yay. Good thing I've already told myself that it's going to stay this hot until October. It'll be a wonderful surprise if it happens to cool off sooner.
I don't like Healthy Choice Asian Potstickers. They made me gag a little.
Happy Monday!
