I'm glad it's supposed to cool off a bit starting tomorrow. <br /><br />Your trip sounds really fun! I'm the sentimental type so I love revisiting places that hold a lot of meaning to me. Must have been fun to reminisce and play games!<br /><br />Good luck with your writing goals this week. :)Ghenet Myrthilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621168379560585094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671037899293269779.post-12390498802800531412013-07-18T13:45:20.149-04:002013-07-18T13:45:20.149-04:00Your weekend sounds great! :D And YAY for AC!

I gave the Bryson book to my hubs for christmas a few years ago. I've loved several of his books (The Mother Tongue, A Walk in the Woods). Anyway-- hubs loved it. And he was constantly telling me little facts and tidbits from the book.

Oh my goodness, what a difference it makes! Yes, back in the UK I suffered warm summers without AC, but we never had summers like the ones we have here in NC. If it was just a day or two of upper-80s weather, fine. But when its weeks of upper-80s/low-90s, and temps never below mid-70s at night... ikkkkkk!!! Oh, and add to that thunderstorms just about every night to make the air nice and humid. IKKKKKKK!!!!<br /><br />I hope your writing schedule feels the benefit of the cooler room temperature, Jess! :)Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671037899293269779.post-51683185525745601102013-07-17T23:40:39.371-04:002013-07-17T23:40:39.371-04:00Yay for AC!

And it's awesome you had such a great time with your college buddies. Those are the moments that are worth sacrificing some writing for. I can totally relate about the heat. One of the scenes I worked on last week was cold and snowy, but it was like a sauna in the house. Definitely not prime writing conditions. I'm so jealous of your air conditioner! Enjoy the ac and settling back into your routine this week! I hope the nice, cool air prompts many words! :)Erin L.

My mom and I play match after match when she comes to visit at Christmas time. Sometime if I'm able to visit you in Buffalo, we'll have to have a tournament!<br /><br />So happy to hear that your landlord finally came by. And that you had a great weekend with buddies. :)Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671037899293269779.post-7423948143966193372013-07-17T13:37:49.553-04:002013-07-17T13:37:49.553-04:00Mmmm, AC.

It's SOOOOO beautiful! Sun, yay!<br /><br />Oooh, Ticket to Ride! My brother has the boardgame version. I need to play it next time I'm at his place. <br /><br />Good luck getting back into your writing routine :)Miss Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05014234633679291480noreply@blogger.com
