During the biggest heat wave of the century here in the Suburbs, my air-conditioner decided it can not survive one day longer. The furnace died right along with it. From sympathy pains? We must replace them both NOW. Air and Heat, not an option in Canada.
Of course while withstanding this cruel weather that our poor Canadian Children are not used to, sans air-conditioning, I go for Mother of the Year and allow my monsters children extra helping of freezies and popsicles. You know, to help cool them down. On one of those trips to the freezer, one of those delightful little girls left the deep freezer door wide open. EVERYTHING THAWED and the result is the worst kind of stinky summertime funky. Ug.
Toss the funk, and off to Costco we go to replace the lost freezer food. Costco is clearly a wise choice because I never over spend there. While there I decide I NEED 24 giant double chocolate chip muffins and a lifetime supply of toothpaste. Um impulse buy much?
Absorb the sticker shock of my Costco total by eating more then my share of those muffins. I am left with an an oh so pleasant “Why did I eat so much?” feeling. I felt so fat and gross I decided I had to buy some more Lulu Lemon pants to make my butt look good get me all motivated to workout!
On my way home from Lulu I couldn’t just walk buy those lonely shoes on the sale rack, not when they were crying out for me to take them home! A quick stop for a mani to help me cope with all the stress! Sigh.
Turns out if you take away a girls air-conditioning, she is going to need some retail therapy to get through it.

ummm.. can you please send me a muffin… haha!!!!!
hope that air gets fixed soon.. i would die, and yes.. probably literally die down here in the south if i air stopped!!!
You, my friend, are hilarious!
Know what you are talking about. I live in Florida and it’s a hot one almost every day! ♥ Costco!!
any excuse for some shopping, eh? :p

I feel your pain. We got to buy new Heat/Air within the first month of living in our house. NOT fun!
And Costco is evil. Last time we went I left with a 10lb bucket of chocolate chip cookie dough. Half of it is gone and I have yet to bake one stinkin’ cookie….apparently I’m immune to the GIANT warning printed on the front that says you should not consume raw dough. Eh. Whatever. I’m still alive.
I am so tired of this heat and humidity! I was thinking I wanted to move farther north to escape it, but it sounds no better where you are. Summer heat is the best excuse to get to an air conditioned store and impulse shop :).
Costco has something about it that just screams impluse buy. I have a family of 2 and we shop at Costco often-for things I don’t need. And then the samples make me gain at least 2 lbs before I leave the store. Sorry about the AC and Heat. Gezzzz not fun!
Oh crap! The heat wave was awful and the damn humidity is not going away. Hope you get the AC fixed.
Retail therapy always works wonders for me too.
Sorry about the air & heat. I’m actually going to Costco today with my dad. I heart Costco 🙂
Great post… reminded me of the book “If You Give a Moose a Muffin”
Hope things cool down for you..
The heat was brutal! You should have also gotten a pedi to help you through it all. Cheers!
There’s AC at the mall too… Just sayin’… If you need an enabler, I’m here 🙂
whew glad u wrote this after our heat wave broke or i might be in trouble
A little bit of retail therapy always makes the world a better place. Not necesairily cooler but better nonetheless.
