and as thursday glides into friday

i will be fastest asleep

my goal for this weekend is to post about our 4th of july gala, replete with pictures and my witty repartee, of course

until then, i will leave you with this:

i have been without a/c in my car for a couple of months and for awhile i was obsessing about getting it fixed (it's expensive!)

but today, as i drove through the tree-lined streets of the lb i enjoyed the sun on my arm

and i enjoyed hearing all of the sounds of other cars and their music ("WHO is listening to THAT" is something i say often)

there is something soothing about the raucous wind beating it's way inside my car, tumbling about, then blowing out of the passenger window

but then again, we've been blessed with a most mild summer thus far

and my commute is incredibly short (2 miles? through the park? under jacarandas and ficuses?)

i'm pretty lucky

i dunno

i'm feeling kind of

vintage, if you will (is it shabby chic to drive sans a/c?)

and i think i'm kinda liking it
