Walked early with the dogs by myself, and I took my ipod. Home, and decided to make Vichyssoise, so to Harris Teeter with Gran, and we got the leeks and stuff. Made the soup, and took a jar of it down to Bob and Lynn’s. Carl and Karl came over for lunch, and we made plans to have dinner together. Liz called, and said she also wanted to come. Watched more Sherlock, and took like 4 naps. It’s so hot, it’s just horrendous. I hate this drought. All the wild animals and plants are so dehydrated it just depresses the crap out of me. But I have to endure. I just feel like it’s not fair that I can stay cool inside and get a drink of water whenever I want to, and the birds and squirrels and deer all have to suffer. It’s humans who have been accelerating these problems! I guess i’m kind of an environmentalist. An environmentalist who (laughs) drives a Cadillac! Liz and Karl and Carl came for dinner, and we had a big salad, and Liz gave us a power point lecture about women’s body images through the ages, and like how it was fashionable for women to be more voluptuous in certain times, and how now, with like Kate Moss, it’s in style for a woman to be super-skinny with no breasts. I wonder why that is. She says it’s to keep women oppressed. Watched some of “Weeds” and went to bed.
