It's FRICKEN AFRICA HOT!!!!!!

I haven't been exercising in over a week! Mostly due to the fact that I was recovering from food poisioning last week, and then all of the sudden it got super hot. I hate it. I kind of miss running, but I'm not dumb enough to do it in the heat!

The baby has been completely irritable too! She's either whinning or cranky, because she's tired. It's too hot for her to get a decent nap in. Really, in a house with no AC it just feels like everything is a pain in the ass. I grew up in houses with out AC, I'd like to think I can tolerate it pretty well, but I guess everyone has their breaking point.

Annaleese and I have caught some relief from the heat by taking a swim, but I can't keep her in the pool for long periods of time, so the relief is short lived.

Allright, I guess I'm through venting.

just a little something.

It's been a while since I've written anything. So here goes. The last week has been trying. Good and bad things have come to light, mom and dad moved out, Cortney graduated Highschool, and my best friend came for a visit.

I'll expand a little on the things I care to mention.

After sharing our home with my parents for the last month, they decided it was time to go live in their trailer, while they wait out the escrow of the house they just got. Their plan is to stay in there while they get the house up to par. Tend to any small repairs it might need, and some painting and other odds and ends.

It was nice to have their company. Mom helped me prepare dinner most nights. And helped out with all the cleaning and what not. Dad helped Scott and Joe install our windows, and scrape the cieling in the living room. Mom helped me paint in the living room. It was good to have help getting small and big improvemtns made to the house.

My little sister graduated on June 10th! 6 years and 1 day after I did. I really can't believe it's been that long, I don't feel old, but it definately puts things in to perspective. She was accepted into San Jose State to study Forensic Science. I am so proud of her and all of her accomplishments.

Jessica came to visit. It was nice to see her, and talk to her one on one. We had discussed going out to do something before she got her, but we ended up just sitting at my house, going to lunch and just talking. It was nice. I really do/have missed her.

Other than that I've just been going through some personal stuff.

In the last four weeks I've lost 8 pounds! That makes a total of 35 since Annaleese was born.

Whew...what a weekend.

Well this past weekend had, Mom, Dad, Joe, Scott and I working pretty hard. Scott, Dad, and Joe, tore out the old windows and installed the new ones! The whole process took 2 days! Now we have to start the second phase, of putting in the new window casings for the interiors, basically we have no window seals and the studs are exposed. I'll get some before and after pictures soon. The second phase will also include getting the front and back stucco replaced, and painted. To match the house.

Saturday, Mom and I started painting the front room. We got three of the four walls done, we are waiting on the TV wall to be retextured before we can do it.

There is still a ton of dust and some glass around the house. I'm working on it little by little, but I'm out of pledge! LOL

Enjoy the pictures!
