it's my blog and I'll bitch if I want to

Remember how our A/C was broken? Like, ELEVEN days ago? Well last week the A/C repair dude finally came to fix it. Only he wasn't sure he did. He said he made it better but it still wouldn't be great. What the fuck? Yes, I spelled it out, THAT'S how what-the-fuck I feel about this. In fact, this should have been my WTF? rant yesterday, but at the time I thought our A/C was working pretty damn well.
WELL, that is because yesterday it was cool here in Redneck Valley. Today? Not so much. And tomorrow is supposed to be 86 degrees, "mostly sunny and pleasant." PLEASANT?! Um, 86 degrees is only pleasant when you have operational A/C! Which we determined this evening that we most definitely DO NOT have.
I cannot tell you how many times I have exclaimed, completely exasperated, that "I just cannot take this HEAT!" all the while fanning myself and patting my forehead with a tissue. It's official - I have become my grandmother.
This whole broken A/C thing really bothers me. And did I mention I'm hot? Mostly hot, with a little bothered thrown in. I don't want to be bothered, considering tomorrow is my birthday and one should never be bothered on one's birthday. But also...also one shouldn't be HOT on one's birthday! Not against one's will anyway. And here I am going to be hot AND bothered on my birthday. That shit ain't right.
On a happier note, Rob has been in the basement for nearly 45 minutes wrapping my birthday presents. Granted, he is a slow, meticulous wrapper, but still, 45 MINUTES! That's a long time, y'all!
(Wait, it just occurred to me that the basement is currently the only cool place in our house. Oh, he'd best not be down there soaking up the coolness under the pretense of wrapping a pile of presents...)
Ooh, on another happy note, I just got an ecard from John Stamos! Heh, speaking of being hot and bothered....

Hot and bothered with John Stamos, huh? HAVE MERCY.
That sucks about your A/C being broken. I would say that BLOWS, but it obviously doesn't. Not cool air, anyway.
Oh, I can be FIRST!! commenter on your birthday. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you are cool as a cucumber today. And I hope those presents lasts 45 minutes or longer, because you are so overcome with delight at each one. Have a lovely day. I join you in celebrating that you are here on this planet right now.
man! susie beat me to the idea; at least i'm second (or third, technically, if rob has already said it). HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLY!!! wooohooo, you lookin' good fer yer age, dahlin'!!! ;) have a wonderful day.
Happy Birthday to a woman I wake up to every morning. (OK, whose blog I wake up to every morning. Well, a fella can wish ...)
Here's hoping you get thumbtacks long enough to keep that picture of John Stamos perfectly centred on Rob's forehead.
ooh, ooh! Just had an idea! I love to match up people in blogworld. Have you seen JessicaRabbit's latest crazy, but nice, project? You can send her a pic of the tummy area in question in a previous post, and get lots of people to say nice things about it. It's your birthday, why not?
Happiest of Happy Birthdays to you! Smoldering hot sucks, unless it's the Stam Man.
I think Jessica requires that you have to submit a birthday suit picture on your birthday. Not that I'm asking b/c that's just weird. I read Nilbo's mind and that's what he wants. Stamos, too.
I am a man. Reading my mind requires no special talent. But what I (or John Stamos, for surely he would agree enthusiastically) want is of no consequence on Kelly's birthday. She's the one who should get whatever SHE wants.
If she wants what John and I want ... well, life sometimes does all work out for the best.
Yes, LadyBug, it's the not blowing that is the problem. There is cool air but not sufficient blowage. Sucks. (Mind out of the gutter, people!)
Awww, thanks Susie! I appreciate the kind thoughts you send my way today. And I appreciate your matchmaking attempt, although I think I may be a wee bit too shy for that. (I know what you're thinking - SHY?! But really I am.) :)
Thank you, Raz hon!
Thanks for making me smile first thing on my birthday, Nilbo. (I read your comment this morning even though I'm just now responding.) And what I REALLY want for my birthday is a convertible mini Cooper. That's what you were thinking too, right? ;)
It is smoldering hot, rayon, but I'm chalking it up to the Stamos ecard and not the piece of shit A/C. (You know, positive thoughts and all that.) What surely isn't causing it is a picture of my birthday suit, cause there ain't NO WAY that's happening! (It's okay to release a sigh of relief.)
Happy Happy Birthday!
Thank you, Stephlys!
