Lars and the Real Girl. I know a lot of people have seen it already, but I thought it was charming, funny and surprisingly sentimental. Was so glad I watched it.

We have this same problem--and windows that are fixed and only open on the bottom half. We used a series of things.

First, we put up the sheerest window film we could find. Next, we hung wood blinds if we needed less light. (They have large slats to let a lot of air through too). Finally, I put up sheer curtains (MATILDA, from Ikea). In the summer when it's hot, I can open the window, everything is blocked from sight, but we still get the light we need, and the curtain blocks what ever is viewable from the window being open.

Hope this helps! I understand this problem well.

Other than sprinkled with sugar and eaten with a spoon (that's how my Mom taught me), I love this:

Lemony Avocado Halves w/ Tuna:

Just mix half a cup of tuna with a generous sprinkling of lemon juice, olive oil, cracked black pepper,

Put the mixture into a halved avocado.

Eat with a spoon!

trust me, it's the perfect snack. :)
