So it's early August and it's been like, really, really hot for a long time now. Thankfully no more storms have descended from the plains so my power has stayed on and my A/C has faithfully churned cool air througout my house.
Perhaps it was the heat, or maybe some subconscious desire for change. Either way, I directed my barber to give me a SHORT haircut last week and he obliged. The back and sides are crewcut-length blended up to a short and spiky top. I love it because I can style it with my fingers, with no need for comb or brush. Yes, I'm now using 'product.' : ) Well, I actually have been since last fall but now more than ever. No pictures just yet, since my glasses broke again and I'm currently wearing my old pair. I'll post a new user pic next week.
Still working on my bedroom. Blinds have been ordered from 3 Day Blinds. I decided on faux-wood venetian blinds for both windows. I also ordered new vertical blinds for the sliding glass door in my family room. Baseboards have been bought and painted. I also bought 2 new rugs for the room. I was pleased that both the bedroom blinds and the rugs were on sale!
I volunteered to take part in a mock disaster drill at Busch Stadium next Wednesday night. Should be interesting. Mother Nature actually got a bit of a jump on the stadium when the Thunderstorm O' Doom rolled through on July 21. : )
A disaster is already in the making at Busch! The Cardinals are exasperating fans with their less-than-stellar play as of late. After getting beat down in 4 games in Chicago, they've relocated the beatings to Busch with the Phillies in town for 3 games. Something's gotta give soon if we want to make it to October.
MyTunes updated today.

dispair hovers over your old home town as well and it is entirely due to the fact that apparently the Cards are taking some time off. the losses to the Cubbies are never a surprise. we frequently loose to them even when they aren't capable of beating their local little league team. the Phillies are another matter entirely.
i am fighting the urge to send a nasty letter to the lovely mr. jocketty and ask if he is aware we have no pitchers! yes, 2nd base was a definate problem, but, WE NEED PITCHERS!!!!!! why do we not now possess the lovely and talented mr. greg maddox? huh?, huh, HUH?!?!?! oh well, enough of that i guess. must keep my "it's just a game" idea going so i can survive the enevitable trauma that is quickly approaching. and yes, i know we traded for a pitcher. what was his name again?
Jorge Sosa is the castoff pitcher's name. We rescued him from the Braves' scrap heap on Monday.
I was adding to this post while you were commenting, apparently. What a coincidence! : )
wow, that haircut must be making the rounds. steve got his cut the exact same way on friday of last week. he is having a bit of trauma with "product" but he is adjusting. i encouraged this adventure in hair by reminding him he has had the same haircut since he was 12. seeems like time for a change!
and, yes, i knew the alleged pitchers name. just had blocked it out. guess i am in denial.
john...are you still alive?
