Do you think we need a four-day holiday weekend in the Spring?
With Memorial Day over, and thinking about the joy that the four-day weekend around Thanksgiving brings, I’m thinking about beginning a movement that Memorial Day should be a two-day holiday, thereby giving most folks a much needed four-day holiday in the Spring.
If you had a vanity license plate, what would it read?
I ask because while driving the other day there was a biker in front of me. The man was phenomenal. I know, because it said so on his license plate. I have to say that it takes balls to pull off something like that, but from the looks of the dude, bald head and on a Harley, I dare say he just might be.
I received an ad on Twitter for a mattress sale today, and it was hashtagged #thankyou #remember, because nothing says “Thank you for sacrificing your life for our freedom” like a new mattress.
Now I realize this is a long-standing joke, that mattress and furniture sales are always spotlighted during military-ish holidays, I just find it a little weird.
Oh well, I do need some new pillows, so maybe I should be thankful for those that died for our freedom, our freedom to buy a new mattress, or pillows, whenever we want.
It was nine years ago that my would-be wife and I had our first kiss.
I still look back at times and wonder how in the heck she ended up with me and wasn’t the one running. It must have been the way I impressed her with my knowledge of garbage cans, the moon, and red-winged blackbirds. It sure couldn’t have been from the fact my romantic advice came mostly from the movies “Hitch” and “You’ve Got Mail,” but somehow it worked!
This morning I almost sent a love song to someone in my contacts who shouldn’t be getting a love song from me.
Usually my wife is always my last text of the day so she gets the first text of the morning, but this time it was someone I know who texted me last. I’m not sure he would understand the love song.
Luckily I realized he was my last text of the day before I sent it, but sadly for my wife the song of today ended up being a word of warning instead of a love song.
I do have to say that thanks to a text a while back, to my sister, these postings started, so I was glad I didn’t take my own advice way back then. If these songs make you laugh, you should thank her, or share them with your friends!
This was one of those Monday mornings that, for whatever reason, we just couldn’t get out of bed.
Snooze after snooze came, and Milo kept trying to rally the troops, as it would be. It’s not really that he cared about our needing to get to work, nope, his belly was empty and he wanted breakfast. Good thing, though, otherwise we still might be sleeping!
I decided I wasn’t going to let the gray skies of the day get me down, so I made them pink!
I hope you are having a great Friday. I looked out the window, saw the crappy weather upon us, and decided I didn’t care that the clouds were gray because there is always sunny, blue skies on the other side! So remember, have a great Friday, and don’t let people make you think!
I don’t know if I should be happy or sad, but the other question is “Should I have just stayed home?”
We had a little home repair scheduled today, and the window when the workers would arrive was 9am to 12pm.
It’s kind of a crappy window of time, especially for trying to plan anything, but there was also the hope, in the back of my head, that they might show up around Noon thereby giving a reason to play hookey from work all day.
Then my phone rang.
Yup, they had a cancellation and could be at the house before 8am if I wanted. Alas, they got their work done, and I have no excuse but to go to work. I’m still not sure if I’m happy or sad about this.
Do you drive your significant other’s car? I had my wife’s car for a few days.
Hers needed some service, and with the dealer within walking distance of me it was an obvious swap. It’s not that I don’t like her car, in fact it is probably more technologically advanced. It’s just not mine.
With her car fixed, today I was back in my vehicle, which was nice.
