We're melting!

I don't know what it's been like for you, but this weekend here in San Diego was just too damn hot. Good news for us, though: our central air was installed last week, and was all hooked up and functioning on Thursday evening...just in time! The nice thing about living so close to the beach, though, is that it cools down drastically at night. It was about 97* today, but now it's cooled off into the low 70's. I love being able to open the windows in the evening and let fresh cool night air in, instead of having to run the air conditioner nonstop.

It was too hot to do much outside today. Daniel and I went to the Navy Exchange and the mall this morning before we ran out of "indoor" places to go, and headed back to the house. It was about 1430 by the time we made it home, and we decided to just make an early dinner-late lunch. We whipped up this delicious, savory bread pudding, with sauteed greens, shredded chicken, Italian cheeses, and sun dried tomatoes...it was amazing, and quick, and light, and hands down our new go-to dish. That, plus "What Happens in Vegas" and frozen yogurt, and it was pretty much a perfect Sunday.

Oh my gosh, that reminds me...when we were heading out to get yogurt on our way home from the movies, we passed this car accident. It must have just happened, because the police hadn't even showed up. This Toyota crossover-looking car and another silver car had smashed into each other, and the Toyota was flipped over on its roof. We were totally shocked...but the even more shocking thing was that neither car was badly damaged, and everybody was walking away just fine. It looked like one guy had a bloody nose, but that was it. It was absolutely miraculous that something that could have been so tragic turned out so...blandly. I've never seen a car just sitting upside down in the middle of the road, and I still can't figure out how everyone just walked away.

Oh, and what's even more astonishing is that this Toyota was seriously sitting upside down, but other than that, appeared undamaged. The windshield wasn't even cracked. The passengers were able to open their doors and get out on their own. I don't know what kind of Toyota it was, but man, I want one!

Anyway, we eventually made it home, and realized that it's almost bedtime. And tomorrow's Monday. Blech. I don't know about you, but this weekend was JUST not long enough. This, thankfully, is the last week of the semester. I have finals on Wednesday, and then I'm DONE...well, until summer sessions start on On 02 June.
