and now, the weather forecast...
mother nature is going through menopause, and she's taking toronto with her.
it's going to be crazy hot here for the next few days. today? sunny with a high of 31C/89F, but a humidex of around 40C/105F.
tomorrow? sunny. 31C/89F. humidex of 42C/108F.
wednesday? sunny, with thunderstorms (likely violent, as always) in the pm. 30C/88F. humidex around 40C/105F.
the new drapes have been hung but, because i'm a complete idiot, i didn't realize that the measurements on each pack of two panels was for the *combined* width of both panels. so, when i bought three packs (totalling six panels), i thought i'd have MORE than enough to cover all my living room windows. in a word: no. i need another pack of two...and will now have to wait until YB and i make a trip back to the states (july? august?) to go back to target for one more pack. in the meantime, i have gappy drapes. but i'm hoping the ones that have been hung will prevent at least some of the afternoon heat from seeping into my apartment.
i also have a new writing assignment that involves interviewing a whole bunch of famous canadians, so that should be cool. i just have to figure out how to track them all down now...

You don't have to wait. if you tell me the drape detail, and they are available online, I could get them and send them to you.
I can't stand to think of your space being UNFINISHED! ;-)
94F here today!
Happy hunting down your canadian celebs!
alas, i can't seem to find them on the target website. but they won't ship to canada, anyway. you'd have to have it sent to you, and then turn around and send it to me.
or, you know, just pick 'em up next time you're in a target in person. ;-)
thank you for the offer!
Seriously, I would be happy to pick them up and send them to you, up there, in the wilderness. I have two Target's nearby. Just say the word.
WORD.
details coming via email...assuming your ISP lets it through. ;-)
Got it! ;-)
"Oh Tom.......fire up the van......we're goin' to Target!"
you RAWK. a thousand thanks to you and tom!
If Florida Targets don't carry your drapes, I can try CA. Your humidity sounds ghastly. :(
you know when you take a really hot shower and the bathroom fills with steam?
that's what the weather is like outside today: wet. humid. heavy. blech.
on the upside, the temperatures are supposed to drop on thursday and remain seasonal (mid-70s) through the weekend.
i am counting the hours.
and thanks for the dual shopping offer, lou!
How you doin' on eggs....bread?
good on both.
but did you get the milk? if tom tests it and says it's "fine," please throw it out.
;-)
Good idea! LOL
Okay...got the goods! I stood in the drapery aisle, print off with complete details and mailing instructions in hand, while my eyes searched the labels for the correct data. BINGO!
Now these have an embroidered pair of pink flamingos in the lower corner. That's okay, right?
This isn't Buffalo!
no, i wanted the one with the giant palm trees stitched through the center! dammit.
oh well.
those'll do.
*sigh*
did i mention that you rock? because you do. you have my eternal thanks.
No problem. You can snag me some cheap prescription drugs or something sometime. ;-)
I'll go to the P.O. in the morrow.
Then you will be uniformly draped!
OMG! this is so exciting!!!
