rivendellroseWhy are weekends so short?
Looks like I'm going to be taking a trip to Arizona in a few months, to meet The Boy's mom. I'm really excited, but at the same time I can't decide whether I'm more nervous about meeting his mom... or about spending time in Arizona in June or July. o_O I have a hard enough time with heat in Seattle. I understand that it is a dry heat, though, and theoretically that will make a big difference? I hope?
It'll be really fun, really it will. It still means I'm going to be doing a small amount of panicking and shopping for heat-friendly clothes and so on. While still trying to look like a good girl to take home to mom. Wheee. ;)
In other news, does anybody know anything about gardening in boxes on balconies? We're going to try to build a box-garden over the next few months, and I realized that neither of us really know a damned thing about it. I mean, I've had gardens before... but always in the ground, you know? Kind of a different thing.
Lastly - it is totally unfair that the Fandom Wank headline "Ye Olde Time Travelling Urinal Wanke" is not about Doctor Who. Can't you just see it? ♥

Date: 2009-03-17 04:14 pm (UTC)My usual desert attire is: jeans/cotton cargo pants/some flavor of cotton hippie skirt paired with a light t-shirt under a long-sleeved cotton shirt, the darkest sunglasses I can find and, if I'm gonna be outside any length of time, a hat. A baseball cap will do, but if you're going to be outdoors visiting the sites, I suggest something wide-brimmed.
Banana Boat makes a wonderful SPF 50 sunblock that works really well. I used that the whole time I lived in Tucson, and never once got a sunburn. Oh, and don't forget to check your shoes for scorpions before you put them on! And did I mention drinking lots and lots (and lots and lots) of water?
