Dog Days

I’m bored internet. B.O.R.E.D.

Yes, I have tons I could do……clean my house from top to bottom. Do the gazillion loads of laundry that I have waiting. Clean the couch that smells like a dog……….yep…I have a lot to do. But none of it is FUN. I want to GO PLACES, and DO THINGS. Alas, we have a kid that just graduated (expensive) and going to college (outrageous), and another turning 16 on the 1st of July (EEEKKKK!!!), so, it’s not like I can just drop everything and book a trip to Puerto Rico (ahem, Stoogie….). Besides, I’ve got things like WORK, and KIDS to worry with as well.

Anywho…….I’ve been scouring the internet for things that interest me. Like the Soulard Farmer’s Market in St. Louis. It’s less than a 2 hour trip, and unless one goes bat-shit crazy buying produce, bakery items and meat….it ought not be terribly expensive. And then there’s the Canine Cannon Ball—which is a fundraiser for the Dogwood Animal Shelter in a community south of my town. It’s held at the Lake of the Ozarks (at the Dog Days Bar & Grill), and tonight they have an Extreme Vertical competition…….and to me it sounds LIKE A BLAST. Order some decent sounding food, a drink and watch the dogs.

Tomorrow they have a Speed Retrieve Heat, 3 Big Air WAVE competitions, and on Sunday, the Finals.

And, best of all, other than the food and drink….the Canine Cannon Ball is FREE!! So, I may go out on a limb and actually try to DO SOMETHING tonight. I always think about doing stuff, but I never seem to get off my butt to actually DO IT. Luckily, Mr. Perfectly is really good about indulging my whims, so he’ll grab his camera and do whatever I want. Which is nice. He’s good to me like that.

I’ll see if Perfectly’s Dad wants to go. He’s grumpy, so he’ll probably say no, but maybe. JUST MAYBE he’ll want to tag along. Next week is his birthday, so Teenie and I are putting our brains together to try to come up with a PARTAY for Daddy-o. So far, all he wants to do is go to Hooters, and said he wants it arranged to take a Hooter’s Girl home. Um…….NO. He can arrange his OWN Hooters……

Hee Hee, we’ll buy him a stuffed Owl (aka HOOTER) to take to bed with him at night. GREAT IDEA number one has emerged. Thanks, Internet……..you are ALWAYS good for bouncing ideas off of.

Okay, Internet…here’s your assignment. Think of fun, FREE things for me to do to entertain myself this summer. Secondly, think of additional fun things for my Dad’s birthday. He’ll be 65.
See Ya!! Happy Friday!!
