“It was luxuries like air conditioning that brought down the Roman Empire” June 22, 2011

So several years ago my hubby wanted to change our sun room into a bar, it turned into a tiki bar which we all enjoy but he decided he wanted a/c in it this year, which is all fine and dandy except for our house doesn’t have a/c.  Well, it does, but does not work right.  Being tired of not enjoying the hot summers, I saw this as a great opportunity to better improve my enjoyment of the hot summers.  Seeing how not having a miserable wife for the summer, hubby agreed to install a window unit in our dining room.  Now, before this said window unit could be enjoyed by all, the wiring needed a little updating.  The updating of the wiring was not enjoyed by all.  It was much more of a project than any could imagine but after a day long ordeal, quite a bit of it without any power, we now completely enjoy said window unit. And I thank my hubby everyday we use it!

We do have a window unit for the tiki but to use that a new outlet needs to be put in and that will need to wait till the roof is finished.  Did I mention the roof?  The Leaky Tiki was named for our roof, sometimes a little more than a leak, more like a waterfall, but steel roofing was ordered, kinda delivered and mostly installed now.  Mostly installed means, in my mind at least, that one of our great Mid-West storms could not even make it leak now, but would kinda like the guys to finish before we test this theory o’mine.

Installing this new roof has made a bit of a mess in the backyard.  Normally it wouldn’t bother me at all, but my lovely daughter, who will be turning 17 on Friday, decided that she would create an invite to her party on Friday night on Facebook. A party, which she conveniently planned without the knowledge of her loving and caring parents.  My plans for her birthday are now thrown out, which would have been great by the way, dinner at Five Guys, which our two youngest kiddies have not had the pleasure of eating at yet, and then Cars 2, which she has been so excited about seeing.  She cleverly told me that she did not promise any food would be served but I am thinking you can’t have a party without food so hot dog bar it will be.  And my loving, sweet  and adorable girl said she will be making her own birthday cake, a Cinderella princess cake, what a sweetie!!

Just noticed it is raining.  Guess I should go check and see if my new roof is working properly.
