Keeping it cool

This "heat wave" has been going on for awhile now, and although I love the hot weather, living in 98 degree weather on the top floor of an apartment building with no A/C has made me appreciate cool weather more than I used to. I started trying to beat the heat by drawing back all the blinds and opening all the windows. I still felt totally cooked between four and seven p.m., and yesterday I suddenly remembered something I read in Betsy's Wedding - that in the hot weather Betsy would 'do the housework early' and then draw all the blinds down, which helped cool the apartment down. So for yesterday and today I've kept the window open, but the blinds on the east side of the house closed. The south window I open the blinds because the sun never shines into it and so doesn't overheat the apartment. It's SO much cooler! I guess the simplest way really is the best after all.

I made the best omelet today - 2 eggs, 1/4 cup corn, 1/4 cup bell pepper, 2 tbsp chopped onion, and 2 slices bacon (chopped). Get this, it's totally filling and only 260 calories! I love cooking.

After lunch I went to CVS and got nail polish remover and cotton balls. I drooled over the makeup for awhile, and made up an imaginary list of all the things I'm going to buy when I'm rich - fancy mascaras and expensive lipsticks and glitter! Lots and lots of glitter!

I got home and didn't want to study so I took more pictures of the apartment now that it's slightly more settled and organized.

Is it bad that I totally want to flip these every time I look at them??
