If I lived anywhere but Phoenix I probably be a little more exciting and a little less boring. I would probably go hiking when I had nothing else to do, or at least go for a run. I would probably be content walking to the nearest cute little boutique or going on a bike ride to no where in particular. I'm pretty sure I have some friend right down the street. I might even take up cooking all day long, because my kitchen wouldn't get nearly as uncomfortable from the oven being on. But I don't do many of these things, because I do live in Phoenix.
The A/C is turned off from 1pm to 8pm everyday, its 106 outside on a typical summer day, and I am at least wearing 3 layers {out of necessity} everyday, sometimes getting away with only 2. If I want cookies, or bread, or anything other than fruit, my oven or stove needs to be turned on. So no A/C plus the oven heating up the house...I don't think so. Instead, I sleep a lot {which I HATE because I wake up with a headache every time}, I watch a lot of ridiculously stupid shows on hulu {destroying what intelligence I do have}, I try and read, but its not easy to find books that keep my attention longer than 10 minutes these days. I don't have cable {and don't really want it, to be honest}, I already play my piano until I have trigger finger in all ten, and I have a minuscule number of dependable friends {and a good amount of not-so-dependable friends, but everyone needs those kinds too.} so, needless to say, I am bored.
I want school to start so badly! I want this last year to fly by, I want to finish school and start working! I want a full time job with cute little chillens {both to fill my craving for their cute little faces, and remind myself why I'm waiting 5 years to have any!}, and to not be such a lazy bum!
But school doesn't start until the 22nd, and until then I guess I'll just go to a lot of movies {by myself, as is the norm}, keep reading the first 3 chapters of a book and then moving on to another, probably sleep some more, possibly go for long drives in my air conditioned automobile {except then I'm paying for more gas, which defeats the purpose of turning off the A/C from 1-8...hmmm}, and dream of the day we live somewhere where its 85 degrees all year round, wouldn't that be lovely!
Go volunteer some where! It would get you out of the house, and then you would be doing something for someone else and it would make you feel good. :) Or come visit all of your cousins with kiddos and you can play with our kids in our somewhat air conditioned houses. Good luck with a decision! -Michelle (and it isn't letting me use my google account. Weird.)
ReplyDeleteOh, I thought of another one. Go to the temple. They keep it pretty cool in there. Then you'll be cool and be serving too! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd again, it won't let me use my google account, so, this is your cousin Michelle. :)
You could come hang out at my house... if you weren't allergic to Kitties!!! Awwww, so sad for my kitties... hahaha! Anyway, on days I do stay home (which are few and far between) I end up doing all of the little things (or as many as I can between Facebook, TV, blogging, Hulu watching...) that have been bugging me... But like I said... it doesn't happen often. :-( I would definitely like to not work... but, I might get bored after a year or two of it, if I didn't have kids. I would probably end up volunteering at one of my nieces or nephews classes... or sit at Jen's house with her all day. HAHAHA!
