so let's talk the weather. i'm not usually one to outwardly complain about stuff like this-- this whole summer i've been passive agressively quiet about how our upstairs neighbors moved out, and even though our landlord unlocked their door for us so we could have access to the swamp cooler that is only upstairs, the "tenants" turned it off, locked the door and will not let us into their apartment to turn on the AC. (we can't get a hold of them, neither can the landlord. i swear, this place gets more and more unbearable the longer we stay here.)
so, even though we have access to sweet, cold air, our upstairs neighbors really have it in for us.
it is currently 82 degrees in our BASEMENT apartment. i'm this close to high-tailing it to walmart for some dry ice and a fan so we can stay sane. but our car doesn't have AC either, so i don't want to.
we've been living without clothes on for the past few days. get home from work, take clothes off. have to go outside? throw on minimum clothing. come back in, clothes off. someone knocks at the door? minimum clothing. clothes off. i'm so happy i don't have long hair anymore. if i still did, tonight i would have chopped it all off.
you guys will let us stay at your house.. right?
we promise we'll wear something.
That seems overly mean and cruel to do! I sympathize with the heat so much, but since I am in the middle of Winter I cant help but be a little jealous, I know when its Summer I will complain though!
ReplyDeleteTotally feeling for you! Hope you survive the night ;)

hahaha, oh, thanks! i'd do anything for it to be winter right now! but it's true.... i complain about the snow when it's winter. we'll see how this goes ;)
DeleteAlright, I'm going to stop complaining about our 100+ temps because ate least I have access to a swamp cooler.
ReplyDeleteI give you one more day before you kick that door down!

oh jeez! i'd DIE. or go ballistic and rob a swamp cooler store (if those exist). we finally bought a car with decent a/c and yesterday it broke. the belt actually burned off and fell on the road in a smoking heap. awesome... and i feel like i could stand the heat more in california and now i'm in utah and want to die??? what's wrong with me!
ReplyDeleteI think something is wrong with Utah and not you. ;)
Deleteword...
DeleteHaha love that. Well just so you know.... I'm wanting to chop my hair off cause it is most definitely not cooperating in this super terribly hot weather. ( curse you naturally curly hair!!!!)
ReplyDeleteDO IT
DeleteHaha. Weather here has been awful also. We were up in the 110's last week, but thankfully this week its down in the lower 90's.
ReplyDeleteThe upstairs tenants are evil for not putting the AC on. I hope you find some heat relief soon!
thanks girl! geez, i don't know what i'd do if it was THAT hot... yes they are evil.
DeleteThis is too funny! With the weather the way it's been in LA this past week, it's only too tempting to follow suit and do the same! By the way, just stumbled upon your blog and am absolutely loving it. You've got a new follower! xo

Haha! This summer weather is becoming a little insane. It's not too bad here where I'm from (s. california) but it's been a bit humid today WHICH IS NOT LIKE CALIFORNIA. You're hair looks great in that shot by the way!
ReplyDeleteAnd you're so sweet! I don't own a camera haha! I know, it sucks. So I take every thing with my iphone...I know I know! So sad!
you really don't own a camera? geez, i wish i as good at iphoneography as you are!
Deletethe story of my life.
ReplyDeleteexcept i can't blame my upstairs neighbors.. i'm just too cheap to get my ac fixed. it's getting pretty close to my breaking point though.
Oh boy do I feel ya. Seriously, it was 112 here the other day. And it's that muggy, sticky hot. I was driving home from work in it (without air conditioning of course) and had to stop half way and go get ice cubes to throw down my shirt. I thought I was going to die.
ReplyDeleteI've just stumbled upon your blog via Little Petrie and so glad I did!
ReplyDeleteIt's great! The header might be one of my favorite parts.
PS this post was funny - i hope cooler weather finds you really soon!
Bless your heart! That's awful! A couple of weeks ago we had 108-110 weather so anytime I was home, I was sans clothes. It's Alabama so the air is wet and sticky too. It was awful! I can't imagine what you guys are going through without AC! UGH! I hope you guys are able to 'chill out' soon!
ReplyDeletemy husband lived in alabama for a couple years, and he tells me all the time "at least we're not in Alabama" but you are! geez, i'm so sorry!!
DeleteHaha! It's true! The heat is a whole different animal here!
DeleteYou guys are just so cute! x
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, the temps are just awful. My apartment is partly underground and it still gets SO hot. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI'm so ready for Autumn!
ME TOO.
Deletehaha okay seriously, i'm glad we can bond over how much we hate the no A/C situation. YOU CAN LIVE WITH MEEEEE. except... i don't have AC and we don't wear clothes either. so maybe we should just hang out on weekends. with clothes. somewhere with AC. k thanks.
ReplyDeletehahahaha ok, sounds like a plan!
Deletehaha ok i wish i could be dying of the warmth!! come visit me in seattle and that will sure cool you down. :)
ReplyDeletei want to go to seattle so badly! we're supposed to be going up to portland this september, so maybe we'll traipse up to washington & see you there!
DeleteHaha. I totally feel you, today I wanted to punch the weather man in the face...not because he had anything to do with it being 109 degrees out, but just because I needed to punch someone in the face because it was 109 degrees out. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad I "stumbled" upon your blog via Amanda's (We & Serendipity) blog...love it.
hahaha i love punching people in the face!
Deleteholy. cow.
ReplyDeletethat sucks.
come over anytime, i blast our ac like you wouldn't believe.
probably because the prego bod overheats like no other.
but seriously if you decide to brave your no ac car (totally feeling you there, that was us a few weeks ago!), come visit. i'll even have icecream. :)
oh gosh, devil neighbors, we definitely have some of those, today they used all of our hot water before 11am, great huh? we don't have AC besides a mini unit in our bedroom....so no one ever wants to come over and i dont want to come home. it gets hotter in our house than it is outside, its that bad because we are the main level. and girl i've been the no clothes in the house for almost 2 months. people know to text me when they come over so that i put clothes on, i'm pathetic. so you can come chill with us in our underwear if you want. hahaha.
ReplyDeleteK
Come visit me! I have AC and no utility bill! My apartment is kept at a nice and cool 67 degrees. It's delicious.
ReplyDeleteyes! my husband's apartment is set to 77 degrees, but it's actually like 84 because the AC can't work to beat the heat in florida. the dog (who has thin hair and no hair on her belly, by the way) is always laying on the tile. it's pathetic. it's so hot! i know the feeling definitely!

nick lived in FL for awhile.... he tells me all about how hot and humid it is. my dog lays on the tile too, and i won't admit it but maybe i do too, because it's cooler than the whole house. feel ya homegirl.
DeleteOh man, it's been hot everywhere lately. We don't have air-con and this morning I got up at 5:30 a.m. and the thermostat read 85 in the house! In the afternoons it's been 91-94 inside the house! And yes, most of the time when we're in the hosue we really aren't wearing enough clothes to be presentable in any kind of polite society. And I've been going to the library in the peak of the afternoon heat to hang out in the air-con for a bit. Poor husband's car doesn't have air-con but mine does. Humans really weren't made to live in this kind of weather...
ReplyDeleteK that has to be the worst. at least when we wake up things have cooled off a bit! I agree.. humans weren't meant to live in heat like this.
DeleteSo I won't lie your post made me giggle out loud but I also feel your pain! I hate the heat. I am one of those people who grip about it constantly it has been 105 and up with the heat index in Misery (Missouri) as I like to call it. I like to keep our ac to where it is blowing snowballs and it cant keep up with the heat outside. Makes me sad... Hope you get some relief soon in your new super cute apartment!!! Love you blog by the way glad I found you on We&Serendipity. Would love for you to come and visit me in my little section of the blog world.
