Central AC
How I miss it. In fact, just the fact that I am now qualifying AC with the word central tells you how my life has changed. I have a window unit a la Egypt style (probably really a la any other country than the U.S. style) and my apartment is burning up. It's funny because I used to think it was silly how everyone kept referring to a temperature of 90 as a heat wave. But when you realize that you can't avoid the heat with a mad house-car-destination dash, then suddenly it's really hot!!
Also I would like to say that probably my two least favorite things about this is
1. I feel like I am sweating BEFORE I leave my house. This is gross.
You would then think that I would try to get dressed quickly and skedaddle. But actually BECAUSE it's so hot I end up trying to find the coolest thing to wear. Which usually is a skirt. Which in my closet usually doesn't have an appropriate top to go with it. Which means I end up trying on like ten awkward tops on a skirt and then finally give up on it. Sigh. At least that's what happened the past two mornings.
2. I can't enjoy hot coffee as much in the heat. This is very very very sad.
You would think I would then get iced coffee but iced coffee doesn't taste as spunky as hot coffee to me. It seems more like dessert than a WAKE UP IT'S TIME TO ACT HUMAN AND START YOUR DAY sort of thing. (Yes that last sentence is overcapitalized and I know some people have pet peeves abotu that).
is anyone out there?

Poor fifi.
Well - last week in egypt it was 110 degrees! So it could be worse
But of course I'm saying that from my crisp indoor-central-AC 73 degrees over here :))
ahhh i hate not being able to find a top :((
iced coffee is awesome! It's hot coffee's funner cousin!
Girl...I can't deal with Iced coffee...it's pointless. I totally get what you mean with the - no matter how hot it is outside - I need hot coffee!
I can't imagine window units man...I forgot about coming home to the apartment in Egypt and standing over the AC unit waiting to cool down with my aunts and everyone telling me I was going to get sick.pssshhhhh.
6 more weeks till we're on the same timezone!! August 16th is the move date IsA :)
I learned from a recent Cracked.com article that drinking hot beverages, not cold, actually cool you down. That is why hot tea and spicy peppers are so popular in India and Pakistan!
Really??? Interesting. Huh now if only I had known this two years ago. Funny reading about heat when we are surrounded by snow!!
