New Fans

So our my fan died over the weekend. It may have had something to do with the fact that we had some stormage, and a bunch of power surges which may have been the reason for the motor suddenly dying. Or it might have been because it was an old fan, I have no idea. All I know is that I almost flew into panic mode at the prospect of not having a fan blowing directly on me as I sat at my computer.

Yesterday, we headed into town so my brother could drop off his form, and then we headed into the nearby new shopping mall. We made a beeline for K*Mart and then wandered around aimlessly, unable to find the fan section, because you know what stores are like and how well labelled everything is. We ended up attacking some store personnel and my brother wrestled her into telling us where their secret stash of fans was, so off we trotted and picked up two. TWO fans now! And damn do they kick out some air. It's awesome.

Luckily though, it wasn't that hot yesterday. I think the top only got to around 28C but again with no breeze made it feel abit hotter than it actually was.

I also took back my second copy of "Me, Myself and Irene" and exchanged it for Robin Hood: Men in Tights and Forest Gump with an additional purchase of Batman Begins because D wanted it. And because it was (miraculously) under $20.

Still haven't heard anything from the travel agent(s). I think I'm well and truly disgusted enough to never use one again. But that horse isn't one I feel like beating on at the moment since I'm in a rather jolly mood.

D's friend sent pictures of their baby girl last night, and she is so gorgeous. He cannot wait until our little demonette is here, and neither can I. We're so excited and want her here now now now! I can't believe we only have a month to go. ONE MONTH.

You'll be amazed at how quickly the next month will go!
Glad you got the fans! I can't imagine not having any way to cool off when you are 8 months pregnant!

Well there's always the tub! LOL

Seriously though, I'm itching for aircon, particularly when she's here and it's February which is our hottest month. I keep having visions of her perfectly pink skin marred by heat rash. :(

Wow 29c. It's freezing here!

How exciting, we both have just have ONE more month to go. Are you all ready for the baby? Are still running last minute errands like us? :)
