Hiding from the HEAT

I know it is June and it is suppose to be summer and all the rest but there is hot and there is HOT. Right now we are in the HOT mode. So I am doing all those things I learned while living in the south for so many years to keep cool and also get things done. Ice tea tastes better than it does on a cool day too.

Many of the projects I have lined up are indoor anyway. I have some costumes to make. If I ever hear back from the Farpoint ArtShow, I might have some dolls and puppets to create. That gives me about a month to do this. But first I have a Doctor to finish and send off like a message in a bottle.

I have never liked hot. I am honestly a polar bear. I love the cold. Heat and I don't work out very well. And when we hit absurd heat, I swear parts of my brain just shut down in protest.

I need to go into the city at some point (probably next Wednesday) to look for one more fabric that I need. But I can get at least one costume and most of a second done. And I need to make a pair of pants to complete another costume. I really should make a list.

I am grateful for schools that pay attention to their students rather than just pushing them through.

Trying to help someone get their vacation pictures back

heidi8's pink Kodak camera and blue Sidekick LX were taken at Disney's Splash Mountain at around 4:30 PM on Sautrday, June 7, and she's trying to get the SD cards that were in the camera and Sidekick back; they're the only copies she has of those photos. She's asking people to pass on this message via their LJ, blog, facebook, etc., in hopes of catching the eye of the person who took it - or someone who knows who did. If that person sees this post, they can go to her livejournal post at http://heidi8.livejournal.com/913939.html and post anonymously (it'll be screened) so she can coordinate with them about getting the cards - and, ideally, the rest of the contents of the bag - returned.

Feel free to pass this one around the net. I know I would be crushed if I had this happen to me.
