Today is National Swing a Kid Day

Only if it over a cliff.. I kid, i kid...
But it really is..
Yesterday i mowed my lawn, only diagonal. nothing special. but afterwards, i went, clothes and all, into the pool and laid on my new deluxe lounge chair. All i needed was beer, but that would have meant getting up and getting it myself, so that wasn't happening.. but it felt great to just float. love floating..

So, Yes, my dear Whitney, I will post some pictures of the pool. and maybe some with the deluxe float too.. if you are nice.

Colorado will be in the 90s the next few days so it will totally come in handy, believe me.

Nothing really special to bitch about today. Had a pretty good ride into work. had to spend $26.00 on 6 gallons of gas, that that's always fun. But other than that, nothing much to report. sorry...
And i was asked about the daily snack update. I will do what i can, but i no longer work in that building and while it isn't that far away, being about 20 steps away from the entrance to my new building. i just don't seem to make it over there, and i usually don't know it's 2pm until it is too late.. But i will do what i can. and report it when i know it.
So here are some tidbits to help you celebrate the day...
