This is the Summer of Hot for me. Last November, we moved into a beautiful home with hardwood floors and granite countertops. However, the house did not come with air conditioning. Well, it wasn’t so important back in November…

Fast forward to today, in the middle of June, with a forecast high temp of 92F. Yes, I know it’s hotter in Phoenix, and there are millions of people all over the world who live in hotter, more humid, less comfortable locations. I know I’m spoiled. Sorry. The fact is, I like cool air in the house. I’m not a fan of sweating for no good reason. Call me pampered or whatever.

Oh, and our ice-maker in the freezer recently quit working. It still makes noise and goes through the motions of making ice cubes, but when it tips up the tray to dump them into the bin, nothing comes out. Bah!

And did you know you can hardly find ice cube trays at the store anymore?! I had to ask a clerk at Target (my second home) where I could find them, and when I got to the shelf, there was only one kind there. Not a choice to be made of tray color or cube shape.

So, since I’ve been thinking about ice and cold air lately, I was tickled to find these cute geeky trays at thinkgeek! I’m definitely going to get some! If I have to make my ice the old-fashioned way, at least it can make me smile, too.

Now… Which cubes should I choose?
