Mystery!

Oh Good Lord..my favorite show is back on the air!! I am sort of ashamed to admit that my favorite show is also my grandparents' favorite show, but yes, Mystery! Masterpiece is pretty damn brilliant. I have to say Inspector Lewis is not nearly as hot as Inspector Lynley, but the shows are still great. Love it. (Mike, next time that I am in SF we are going to have a Mystery marathon when B is at work!)

Heat Sucks

It is now that time of year that I hate the most: the endless days of polluted, 95+ degree heat. The kind of heat that slows the brain, makes my energy go poof, and really makes me hate Utah. This heat is just what kills summer for me. I know it could be worse though. I have lived in Louisiana where the heat sticks with you all day and night long via your own personal muggy bubble and never lets go. But there is something about the dying grass and the high temps and the polluted air that makes summer in Utah so depressing. And, I hate air conditioning! Argh, all of these conditions led to me having a swear fest on Sunday afternoon...not pretty! But, I am trying valiantly to regain my control over the heat. I will not let it get the best of me! Well, maybe for the 10 minutes that it took me to write out this pity-party of a post:)

Movies in the Past Week

Okay this is a little scary, but here is a list of all the movies that I have watched in the past week:

The Savages ****
Sex and the City ***
The Aristocrats Part I **
The Family Stone ***
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull *
Nancy Drew *** (Jess and I both agree that knee highs need to come back in style)
Sweet Land ****
Dedication ***** (I love me some Billy Crudup, especially with wild OCD!)

8 movies in 7 days...nice. I love summer!!

ENGAGED!

Hell no, I am not engaged...my sister is! Yippee! I am so thrilled for Britta and Mike. They are both so talented, funny, loving, smart, and great together. And Mike is a super-champ for putting up with Britta's little sis (aka me) especially that memorable trip to Cowgirl Creamery. Sorry Mike, but I truly can blame that on the complete lack of thyroid hormones I had at the time. I love you both and can't wait for the wedding! I already have a few ideas up my sleeve for you guys:)
