Not much to report on the personal front today … since the temps have been soaring into the 90s the past few days, David and I have been staying indoors behind shuttered windows just keeping to ourselves. I joked to David that we may have to start referring to our home as Gay Gardens since we’ve been kind of reclusive these last few days. The only downside to having so many large windows is that the sun amps up the heat inside our home all day long … we can’t even enjoy the beautiful sunshine when the temps get high cuz it makes our apartment get really hot. Instead, we’re hiding behind the shutters and curtains to keep the place cool … venturing out only at night. Hahahahah. Except for the animals and the craziness, we’re well on our way to turning into the crazy Jackie O. reclusive family members from Grey Gardens which, incidentally, I watched over the weekend … both the HBO movie version and the original documentary — both were superb and wholly fascinating:

To be honest, I’m OK with keepin’ things low this week … Davd and I fly out to Chicago this weekend for a few days to visit with my friends Sarah and Mark and to see another concert so I’m cool with keeping things quiet. I do want to get out and see some friends this week tho … it’s been far too long.

The plus side of all of this heat is that it’s the perfect weather for hanging out/in the pool! I might have to test the waters of our buliding’s pool this afternoon … HMMM, now where did I put my Speedo?
