When I kicked the unit to the curb last year I had a grand fantasy - I thought that after I bought the house I'd put in central air. Bahahaahahhaah ha. Seriously. What pretend world did I live in? At that point I had a good chunk of money in the bank and had just gotten a raise and was thinking rich.
I haven't talked about it much, but my mortgage took all of my savings and is way more than I thought it would be. It's over half of my salary each month. So having a part time job or two really makes a difference in my quality of life and my haircut. And I had a fun spring: trip to Ireland- good!, tree on house: bad!, bathroom remodeled, good!, computer croaking, bad!
Anyway, it's been hotter than hell in here. And I have poison ivy. Throw some freaking hot flashes on top of that and you have the recipe for one very cranky Nora. This morning I swore that I was not coming home without a new air conditioner for my bedroom. One quick trip to Lowes later (that for the gift certificate LuAnn and Bill!) and I brought home this little beauty.
Air conditioners have come a long way in the last twenty years or so. Quieter, digital, programmable and this:
A remote control. Fancy.

You DID remember to shut all the windows in the house, right?
Stay cool!
Good for you. You were already cool; but I am glad that you got an air conditioner. It has been freaking hot already, hasn't it?
Well I'm guessing that a cranky Nora is easier to get along with than a happy Cliff.
Congrats on the new AC. Those digital models are great. We have 4 of them up at the kennel.
The next post down was mighty impressive. When I come to Indy I can see it's going to pay to know Nora.
I'll just say: "Hi, can I sit right over there?" "Uh, Nora is a friend of mine."
That was a great day for sure.
Wow, that is some modern air conditioner! You will be nice and cool in your bedroom. Ahhh........
oooooo...hot flashes AND poison ivy? Poor Nora. If I was closer I'd bring you some cheesecake and root beer floats. Cheesecake and root beer floats always cheer me up and cool me down.
I wish you lived next door and I would give you an airconditioner. When we moved from Kansas we had a brand new window unit for our home there and don't need it here. You could just run over and get it.
But I agree with the others -- regardless of temperature, you are always COOL:-)
Nora, that's just like the a/c I bought last year when my bedroom unit croaked!
I was going to get central air back in 2003 but decided to use the money to go to Germany instead, thinking that my then-husband and I would quickly replace the money.
Bahahahahaha! And now you know why I'm divorced. And why I have a window unit just like yours.
