You know it’s going to be a hot day when you wake up and by 10:00Am it’s already 95 or so.  Yeah, that’s what our past couple of days has been like.  And let me say, it doesn’t make for happy times.  Even the plants are miserable.

Yesterday I woke up early as I had a networking/biz thing to get to.  Since it was still 80ish the night before (in our bedroom!) I was having some challenges falling to sleep.  Needless to say, once I got home from the event (did I mention that they were working on their AC so it was painfully hot?) I just crashed.  I fell asleep in the bedroom until it just got too hot and then I moved to the floor, in front of our AC to finish the nap.  Yeah, not the most comfortable.  We finally decided that we needed to get out of the house and headed out to dinner and the movies (Baby Mama – was cute).

Today I’m off to the deep San Fernando Valley to meet a bloggie friend, Speedy Canizales for a bit.  She writes these amazing posts about the wonderful places she visits (I believe she’s still writing about her recent trip to Manila with her family).  We’re meeting up to talk about her writing a piece (or fifty) for my site about traveling and playing a tourist in your own town.  I’m really looking forward to it – especially since we’ve been trying to schedule this for about 6 weeks now.  I’m not looking forward to the insane heat though, but hey, we’ll be inside the mall so at least that part is good.

For the rest of the time, I’m going to sit back and do my best to stay cool.  Well, as cool as we can with our (seemingly) wimpy AC.  At least the temps look to be dropping next week (in the mid-80’s instead of the low 100’s).  Hope the rest of you are staying cool as well.
