I Have a Visitor!

My mom made it safe and sound to the desert! Yay! Her flight was a bit delayed, but not severely. We've welcomed her with what else? HEAT! And lots of it. The car said 114 this afternoon, and it is usually pretty close. Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter. Lucky her, right?! Well, I have to live here so I guess I'm the lucky one ;) Actually, I am pretty acclimated to it, but I will say that over 110 a resident can tell the difference. It's not pleasant to be in triple digits, but 110 and over is HOT.

Today, I had to work at both CGCC and ASU, so Mom had a slow morning and then went shopping when I was teaching. When she picked me up from school, we went to buy my first NEW major appliance: a refrigerator. The one that came with the condo has been leaking internally. The drawers have been filling with water for a month. I've tried a bunch of things, but it is on its last leg. So say goodbye to the fridge. Sears is delivering a new one Friday. I'll post pics of it when it arrives.

Tomorrow, we're going to go see Harry Potter! We're both excited as no one else wanted to go with either of us! I still have to work, which is a major bummer, but I have to pay for my share of the fridge still so I'm glad to have money coming in!

So nice to have Mom here. She made me Fritos and beans for dinner--one of my favorites! Maybe if I keep her in the AC she won't recognize how beastly hot it is here. Wish me luck!
