Warm weather, a cool day

When our furnace broke last week, I was a bit worried about staying warm during the crisp fall nights. But summer unexpectedly returned and now I'm aching for our A/C instead. Apparently our furnace fan is necessary to cool the house — something I should probably know as a homeowner.

I still took advantage of the gorgeous day and carted CB out for ice cream. She slept in the stroller. I enjoyed the fall color. I called dibs on her share of the ice cream.

We further heated the house later by baking two pizzas — an experiment (homemade zucchini deep dish) and a backup (Digiorno). Toss a lot of mozz on veggies and I will call it delicious. After sweating it out upstairs, we moved to the basement for some natural cooling. Between my attempts to put the lil miss asleep, I was set to knit.

But then I remembered the ice cream saved in the freezer. And it's not just any ice cream. It's the stuff that's really bad for you from a devilishy-delicious local ice cream shop called Brain Freeze.

Of course the ice cream won. Did you really ever doubt that?

I'll be back on the costume catwalk next week with more hints and pics for Guess the 'Guise. Stay cool — or warm — wherever you are!
