Slumber Party in the basement

We had a family slumber party in the basement last night, all four of us.

You see, we still don't own a lawn mower and that little tid bid of information explains why we had a family slumber party in the basement.

Not seeing the connection? Weird.

Yesterday, Frank listed an ad on Craigslist looking for someone to come cut our grass. We weren't any closer to deciding when/where to buy a mower and the lawn was just out of control - something had to be done. A 19 year old college kid quickly responded and agreed to cut the grass (front and back) for $20. Done!

He came over in the afternoon and did a good job. He also mowed over a cord running from our outdoor AC unit to the house. And then the AC stopped working. Strange.

So far, we've paid $20 for the grass cutting, $80 for wire repair, and we still don't have a functioning AC so another repair guy is coming today...cost is tbd.

This lead to two things:

1. we will be purchasing a lawn mower, asap.

2. we had a family slumber party in the basement because it was cooler down there, and throw in an air mattress (read: heat syphoning device) and everyone wins!

Hopefully the AC will be repaired sometime today, fingers crossed!

(**UPDATE** The AC has been fixed! Hooray!)
