This is the forecast for today’s weather from Weather.com – it is much more conservative than the local station would say…

At 9am the Diva will be in Tap class.  At 2:30 she will be in her one on one ballet class preparing for her solo.  I get to sit in the hot building, or the van while she’s in both.  She is not getting to wear what she thinks she’s getting to wear for dance tomorrow, as I’d like to not have her parboil herself… her favorite outfit consists of the bubble wrap, extra fluffy tutu over a body suit, tights, and legwarmers.  That to me is a recipe for overheating if I ever saw it.

I think we will be bringing her bottled ice water for both classes, and when we get home, I’ll plop her down for homeschooling via  Time4Learning on the desktop in front of the air conditioner, or I might introduce her to “Hangmouse” at Spellingcity.com – provided of course she’s not feeling “Icky” still as she was yesterday. Ceiling fans will be on, and the air conditioners will be at full roar… obviously if I am doing laundry – it’s happening at night, nor during the day or we might  blow a fuse, not to mention contribute to a brown out.

Me – I will be spinning as much as I can and breaking out some Alpaca I have before I get into that custom order – and maybe drive up to In Sheeps Clothing in Torrington for a new drive band for my Kiwi (although that could wait for Thursday and being medically cleared to drive the distance, I’m paying for driving up to Northampton Mass on Saturday still, and my body is very upset with me.)
I don’t want to screw up the custom order when working with the new spinner, and am having fun with it.  I already have one bobbin full with Ramboullet.  That will get taken off and set in cake form to rest tomorrow, before I try to figure out how to reverse the spin on that sucker so I can ply.

When all else fails I still have this site and the dance school website to do some tweaks to or of course the Netbook restore to install…

Keep watching for updates, and hey – share your ways you stay cool with me!  I look forward to reading your notes on how you beat the heat!
