too hot to blog

it's been a hard day here. woke up, packed a bit, organized my closet and kitchen so i can pack everything but what i'll need for the next few days. when i couldn't bear it any more i went to the grocery store. i came home and made a cold lunch (tofu sandwich, blueberries, mike's hard lemonade) and watched but i'm a cheerleader- i'm so glad i own it now! i tried signing online then, but it was pretty fruitless. i'm trying to get a map for mom for how to drive the uhaul from the uhaul place to my old home then back to my new place. but see, the trick is, she'll be driving a uhaul. and trucks aren't allowed on lakeshore drive. there seems to be no way to generate an appropriate map. even mapquest's "no highways" button apparently doesn't count lsd as a highway. grrr. but i made up my own plan which i think will work ok. it will be long, and at 1.39 a mile i can feel the pain of it, but what other choice do i have? as long as she doesn't get lost, all should be fine. i made dinner, and then made my first icecream- a chocolate coconut. i can't wait to try it tomorrow, to see how it turned out. i have a great hand egg beater, which is awesome, but it still took a long time to beat the cream. prolly it being so hot doesn't help. but come on. it's summer in chicago, this is what it's supposed to be like. g sent out an email with her summer sublet address and she said at the end, "in texas, all the residences have air conditioning. stupid chicago." HELLO! this is the chick who spends every winter bitching about how cold it is and how nice it is in texas. SUCK IT UP. if you can't take the weather here, move to someplace else. i'm serious. lots of chicagoians go to the grocery store or the movies or the libraries or drive around in there cars. lots of chicagoans have a ac unit in their living room or bedroom, and i can understand that- it really is too hot to do anything. i think that's what summer's for- not to do anything. to go to the beach, to play in the fountain, whatever. g doesn't see chicago's trees, she misses the hills of texas- i thought it was to actually be in those hills, but i guess it's just to see them from out of the aircondtioned window. geez.
i packed a few more boxes, i have one left. i'm going to need to go get more from jen mid-week so i have something for allie and mom to pack when they get here. but now i'm hot and tired. i'm going to bed.
