Transformers! More than meets the eye

So, in case some of you hadn't noticed, it was really hot this weekend. Our air conditioner has been broken for the past week. On Sunday and Monday, no big deal, but on Tuesday when we turned it on and 6 hours later it was hotter in the house than outside, I realized quickly there was a problem. On Sunday it didnt seem to cool the house, so I turned it off and thought it just couldnt keep up. That, sadly, is not the case. So we had Nick's parents staying here, with out AC. It was too bad, but then Saturday rolled in. Saturday was hot. Both of us worked was nice because we both work in buildings with AC. After an evening with Nicks family, the house was 90 degrees at 10:30pm. It was gross. So we went back to my in-laws and slept in their basement.

The cool escape of a basement. It reminds me of my childhood when we had one little window unit that started out in my parents bedroom and then graduated to the living room. At some point in time we got central air. I dont remember exactly when that was....but we had it. My high school days I do remember the house being kept a cool 65 degrees in the summer. A wonderful way to sleep!

So after a blissful basement slumber we went to early church, hung out with Nick's parents and read the sunday paper. We had lunch, watched some random cable tv, then headed off to see Transformers. Not only was this an excuse to go someplace air conditioned, but it gave us the excuse to see a movie we wanted to see.

I really liked the movie. It was a leap for me to see Bumble Bee as a Camaro. back in the day, I did have the Bumble bee. Mind you, I only knew there were two teams, one bad, one good. the Autobots were good the Decepticons were bad. there was a Megatron and someone else big....and most of them were cars or some other kind of automobile. I do remember the boombox guy, Soundwave. I played with him and his transforming cassette tape Rumble or Frenzy. (i dont know which we had).

So, back to the movie.... I liked the movie. I liked the robot fighting action, I liked, for the most part, the amount of plot that was developed. I wasnt left thinking, who was that again? My only complaint is that when the robots started fighting, it was hard to tell who each part belonged to.

Tomorrow the AC guy comes to see what can be done. I also have a dental appointment to do what should be my second to last step. It should be the last thing i need to do before getting permanent teeth again. In just 3 short weeks I should be able to eat sandwiches again. I will be able to bit into pizza. NO more silverware for me! It will be all hands and biting teeth. WOOHOO!
