No Air Conditioning = Hell on Earth

Some of you might think my title for this post is a little strong but that is honestly how I feel about not having air conditioning.  For those of you that haven't been to our house it is important for you to know that we keep our air conditioning at 67 degrees.  Being hot is something I absolutely hate!  So, after throwing a baby shower for my sister-in-law this weekend I walked into our lovely condo to find that it was 80 degrees.  Before completely freaking out I went outside and checked the line to make sure the unit wasn't frozen over.  It wasn't, so my next move was to call Tim and throw a baby fit.  After talking to Tim and somewhat calming down, I quickly realized that there wasn't going to be much we could do at 6 p.m. on a Saturday night.  Our night wasn't horrible but it wasn't fun (I did watch 2 hours of Big Brother and 3 hours of Bachelor Pad).  We ended up sleeping downstairs on the couch because our bedroom (which is upstairs) was just too hot.  The next morning, the first thing I did was start calling AC companies.  After calling about 5 companies that were in the yellow pages we decided to go with HEP (I am sure you have seen their stupid commercials).  They were the most reasonable and only cost $128 to come out to our house and then $15 every 15 minutes to diagnose your problem.  After the HEP man arrived and did some checking/looking/researching/probably sitting in his car checking his Facebook page, he delivered the news that threw me into my second baby fit for the weekend.  The news was that he couldn't fix it and that we need a completely new unit at the reasonable price of $4200.  Did I mention it cost us $143 to get that information?  OH THE JOYS OF HOME OWNERSHIP!  Our house got to 85 degrees today which I am sure is a record somewhere.  Tim has someone else coming to look at our unit tomorrow so let's hope he has some better news for us than HEP.  Until then, I just want to give out some advice for all of you sitting in your nice air conditioned house.......BE GLAD YOU HAVE AIR!

The Other Woman

I had never heard of this movie until I found it on Netflix.  It stars Natalie Portman (whom I love) so I figured I would watch it and give it a try.  It was really good and sad at the same time.  It is about a woman that falls in love with one of her married coworkers.  The two get married and she becomes the other woman.  As the movie continues, you watch her relationship develop with her stepson and the ex-wife.  There are some other twists in the movie which I won't mention but I thought it was worth watching.  I actually cried several times in this movie.  This is definitely a chick flick so I recommend watching one night when your man is out.  That is what I did and I really enjoyed watching.  Also, I think Natalie Portman is beautiful and is a great actress!!

Hall Pass

This movie was very predictable and kind of stupid.  Right when we started watching it we figured out exactly what was going to happen.  This movie is not believable at all.  Honestly, who lets their husband have a "hall pass" from marriage?  Sure it would be every guy's dream but realistically it just wouldn't happen.  Don't get me wrong, there were some funny parts in the movie but overall it really wasn't anything special.  I am SO GLAD we rented it.  I would only say watch this movie if you really have nothing else to watch.

Justified

Tim and I really love this show.  My dad had told me about it and so I figured we would check it out.  It is about a U.S. Marshal in Harlan County, Kentucky.  It is pretty awesome and we really like watching it.  The characters are great and the storyline is pretty believable.  Season three starts sometime this fall and we are very excited.  It comes on FX so I would definitely recommend that everyone check it out.  You won't be disappointed.
