Trying to work out the weather...

Alright it's July it's CA and it's 79 degrees!  That's downright chilly for us, ah well it keeps the cooling costs down at least tho it's very odd, and despite the cooler weather they kids (not mine I think it's too chilly) still wanted to go to the pool.  But tonight I have a girls night out!  Yay going to go bowling which should be a lotta fun, I've even dug out my bowling shoes and ball from the depths of the garage for the occasion.  I'm certainly thinking give it a couple more weeks and I might see if I can find a babysitter and maybe see if I can arrange a date night for James and I.  Ah the freedom, it's funny almost not sure what to do with myself at times...

Anyway, so I've made these divine chocolate wafer cookies, simple recipe and great cookies...oh the reason for the cookies I'm making a no bake cookies and cream dessert, well ok technically I could have done it with store bought cookies but I just couldn't find the ones I needed so I made my own.

Have to also say my newer tomato plant never looked so good, it's taken off like a trooper, and so far the thyme is still alive...I'll give it another week tho before I declare it successfully planted in the garden.  Still dunno what to do with the patch of land we have down the side of the house, it's just an odd space, I am thinking tho the ac unit will end up out there although that might take a bit more work wiring it but I think it's a good spot and I really then think once the central ac unit is positioned we should just pave the rest of the area and make it into an outdoor bbq area put in another table to help with food prep on the grill and make an even spot to place the grill.  Diane did give me an idea tho that we could partially pave it which would probably work given the ac and save us a bit of money as it's not really big enough for putting anything down there, maybe a chair eventually but we can certainly just make it a cooking area, put an all weather surface area and I think it could be pretty nice.  Not like we have an extra car or anything to put there.
