Slowcala Summertime

Man is it hot in Slowcala...did I say that? It's finally cooled off a bit but we had a week or so in the high high 90's where the car was registering over 100 degrees....too hot for "top down"...bummer!

This is a picture of the inside of our A/C unit...(the white stuff is ice on the coils) we couldn't understand why the "unit" wasn't cooling down. Mr. A/C man asked, "when was the last time you changed your filter?" Huh? Don't they change themselves? He chuckled and said, "you'll be cooled down in just a minute".....so if I have been here 12 months and they are supposed to be cleaned 1x/month......argh! Fixed! Check 1

Check 2... Had my "basil cell carcinoma" removed by the Slowcala famous plastic surgeon....I was on a table TOTALLY awake!! I didn't feel anything except for "tugging"...which translates "digging"...I was totally freaked out and a little nauseous...but it's out and I look yucky...stitches come out this Weds.

(AFTER)

Me...no makeup, bruise and swollen...I know it scares me too!!

Check 3...Father's Day was a big hit....good time for Mr. Millah....he got his "humidor" for his precious ceee-gars...plus a few other goodies including this "wild and crazy Flor-i-da" outfit....we treat him like "Ken" and play dress up. He's such a good looking "doll". On a sad note though, it was the first Father's Day without any Grandfather's present....all have left the planet....2 this very year...Heaven Hugs to Granddad Jim, Papaw Jim and Grandpa Joe.

Check 4....Everyone is on vacay...so we've planned a trip to Ashevegas this July 4...can't wait to see all my friends...can't wait to sleep in my own bed (after 6 months), and wander around MY OWN HOME!!!! Hooray....bring the Gator-family with us...they need to "cool down" too....going whitewater rafting on Saturday and firework watching...can't wait!

Check 5....my workout buddy, "my friend Mary" as Marc ALWAYS says I call her...is moving back to Illinois....her hubby got a promotion and they were sent home. WAIT..I'm the newbie here...I'm not suppose to be saying "Good-bye" to new friends...thats just it...they're NEW friends....I'm happy for her...she'll be closer to her 2 sons! Bye Mary! Miss you already! You really kick-bu-- in the gym!

Check 6...Can't close out the blog without including this cool pic of Gator-Valerie...she's in Vegas with her Mom, "Hot-Dot" and her Sister...celebrating Hot Dot's 70th b-day....it was her favorite spot where she & GV's Daddy always went ...He's in heaven now so the girls are there in his stead....GV has some explaining to do.....

Gator Valerie & Gator Scott...and Vegas Valerie and hmmm, oh yeah, Elvis! hahaha GET HOME....you're getting crazy! :)

Finally, check 7...have to include the reason why trips to the gym aren't as obvious these days....that darn Bone-Fish serves this chocolate treasure....2 HOT HOT brownies, covered in fudge icing then coolwhip AND ice-cream...it makes us sick every time..

....but we keep on ordering it! Happy Summer!!
