During the biggest heat wave of the century here in the Suburbs, my air-conditioner decided it can not survive one day longer. The furnace died right along with it. From sympathy pains? We must replace them both NOW. Air and Heat, not an option in Canada.
Of course while withstanding this cruel weather that our poor Canadian Children are not used to, sans air-conditioning, I go for Mother of the Year and allow my monsters children extra helping of freezies and popsicles. You know, to help cool them down. On one of those trips to the freezer, one of those delightful little girls left the deep freezer door wide open. EVERYTHING THAWED and the result is the worst kind of stinky summertime funky. Ug.
Toss the funk, and off to Costco we go to replace the lost freezer food. Costco is clearly a wise choice because I never over spend there. While there I decide I NEED 24 giant double chocolate chip muffins and a lifetime supply of toothpaste. Um impulse buy much?
Absorb the sticker shock of my Costco total by eating more then my share of those muffins. I am left with an an oh so pleasant “Why did I eat so much?” feeling. I felt so fat and gross I decided I had to buy some more Lulu Lemon pants to make my butt look good get me all motivated to workout!
On my way home from Lulu I couldn’t just walk buy those lonely shoes on the sale rack, not when they were crying out for me to take them home! A quick stop for a mani to help me cope with all the stress! Sigh.
Turns out if you take away a girls air-conditioning, she is going to need some retail therapy to get through it.

I’ve had a few occasions where I found the freezer door standing open. Not long enough for a complete loss, but long enough that you could tell things were losing their cool…..so to speak.
I like Costco, but my wife wants nothing to do with those bulk stores. She thinks it’s a waste of time.
