Warm Wednesday Randoms

Re: Warm Wednesday Randoms

  • I've been thinking about checking out dry shampoo.  I think Kasa's post just gave me the motivation to find it.

    There's no way we could be landlords.  Our major projects in one house take forever, and I couldn't imagine being responsible for 2. 

    The house...  I'll post a link later.

    So...one of the employees (I'm sure ex-employee by now) at Bagel Beanery, the coffee/bagel shop I frequent, was arrested for exposing himself twice at a local park.  Gross.

    Ick.

    I'm a little afraid to ask but, did they mention which park?

    I found a coupon for Suave dry shampoo, and subsequently found the product at Meijer. I would never have purchased it without the coupon. So, I tried it. Unfortunately, I was not enamored with it and was glad I was not going out in public that day. It left my hair looking *decent* (not great) but with a really...weird texture. I'm trying to figure out the best word to use to describe it. Not sticky, not stiff...something similar to a mixture of those things, though. The hair around my face did not move as my freshly-cleaned hair usually does. And that was the day after regular shampooing. I can't IMAGINE going three days without washing my oily mess! Kasa, you are fortunate.

    Oh, wow, that sounds like a really tough situation.  Good luck!!

    Not really tough... more exciting.  There's only been one other house that got us both excited, and that one is sold.  I don't think we'll get this one, but we'll see...

    They did, they're both in Wyoming.  Palmer and a trail that runs through to Lemery Park.  Both are parks we frequent for softball games.  Tongue Tied Good thing he was caught!

    Hey, is your husband currently playing in the Wyoming men's softball league?  My husband is playing that league right now.

    He is.  He plays on a men's Thursday league.  He might have to miss the next 3 games due to our childbirth class though (unless they play the 9:15 game).  He's kind of bummed. LOL.

    I have a large dog who doesn't have AC right now.  Our house is probably close to 88 also.  She does just fine.  Smile  At least your fix is paid for by the complex.  We have to pay out of pocket to have our unit replaced, and it's not going to be pretty.

     The cats will be fine, just make sure they have a lot of water  I know it's awful out, but, I think a turnaround of a day or two is good service.

  • The house was not meant to be.  It was on the market for 3 days before the bank got 5 offers and accepted one.  Sigh.  Onward.

    Aww, man. Who wants a stinky old guest house anyway. At least this takes some pressure off needing to sell right away.

    Sorry to hear that.  You'll find an even better one now.

    It's 89 in our home right now, after the heat of the day, with all the fans going and windows open. We have two cats as well. Smile I know you are concerned but your pets will be fine. Set out extra bowls of water, and wipe them down with a wet paper towel if they look particularly uncomfortable. Animals adapt. Now us humans...we're pretty miserable! But we make do with lots of icy lemonade.
