hula hoops and hampster wheels

Ok so off of the deck there are a couple bird feeders.

The squirrels have figured out how to get the food and gorge.

So they run up and down the railing of the deck.

My brother and I were hanging out in the kitchen and he was getting irritated with the animal embracing the balance beam.

I told him that squirrel is an Olympic squirrel and to just calm down.

We then deems that

acorns = bronze

cashews = silver

and

tada

walnuts = bronze

too bad the little squirrel is only getting bird seed.

So I took a vacation day today. I went down to Mankato last night to get Sissy.
On the way back -- we had several miles of orange cones. Dang road construction. We were behind a bus that kept it's turn signal on for 15 miles. So annoying. I'm also starting to think that road rage must be a genetic trait that my sister and I inherrited from our dad.

We arrived home, ordered pizza -- vegged out -- I fell asleep on the couch and then woke up at 2 to crawl off to bed. Very interesting eh?

This morning I woke up at 5. Yes, 5 on a vacation day. And then every hour on the hour thereafter until I gave up at 8. I got ready - took my car in for it's oil change that it gets every 45 days or so.

Came home -- blogged a bit, cause I'm super cool like that.
Ate some cold pizza --super yummerific.
Went to Mama Mia
came home -- blogging again...
and now I'm going out with mom and Sissy to Home Depot -- aka Builders Warehouse - not sure why my mom calls it that -- but she just does.

Another exciting friday night.

So I'm solo for the 4th ... I might go to the casino on Saturday with Kenz and Si and Deann and Doug -- I'm not a big gambler -- I buy a couple powerballs a month -- like 3 maybe, but it has been quite some time since I've gone to a casino so it should be fun -- good old fashioned 5th wheel fun.

I might see if my friend Mike wants to play cribbage but that only eats up a couple hours of time -- and I lost the last time we played. So I will probably be uber competitive or an extra big poor sport.

Everyone else is getting out of dodge and I'm jealous- but with no where to go -- I know I"ll buy new tires -- that's a good satruday morning project.

Hmmm whatelse can I do with myself this weekend... maybe I'll blog something super inspiriational --- or maybe not, maybe I'll just blog. Maybe I'll go to the gym... nah that's not fun and I can't find my cute lime green gym shorts... Where are they? I've looked everywhere.

If it was colder out i'd crochet. But yarn in the summer is not fun.

I see my lameness quotient is growing with each sentence .. . yay me.

Dave is going to be in Iowa for some manly car show and I want to go see fireworks... pouty lip.

I'll probbaly sit at home -- in my pjs all weekend. Maybe I'll go buy new pjs to commermerate the event. Then again, highly unlikely -- most likely I'll float around -- be bored -- read, try to write -- play on stupid facebook and organize my lil green patch for the millionth time.
