Bare Feet

I like the shoe styles out right now. I have stocked up on slides and mules (I think those are the right names) because I’m not allowed to wear sneakers here. It’s been a long, slow, hard adjustment, but I think I’ve transitioned. Anyway, the cool thing about these types of shoes is that they are super easy to take off while you are sitting at your desk. So right now, I am barefoot.

I am all for simulating being on vacation while you are at work, y’know? So tomorrow I think I’ll bring in some Coppertone and put it on my feet so I don’t get a burn from the florescent lights, and to get that beach smell here in my cubicle.

Where is Yesterday’s Post?

Darn, I wrote something up yesterday and it appears it was eaten. I hope it tasted good.

It’s been a busy but fun weekend. We went strawberry picking yesterday, and Junior was an excellent helper. He only picked RIPE strawberries, stayed in the rows, and didn’t step on strawberries. He got bored with it before we did, but kept himself entertained! I was very pleased. We also discovered shopping at Kohls. I’m going to have to find a way to get back there when I’m alone. I could do some SERIOUS clothing damage in that store. They even carry “my” brand of pants, the Lee Casuals! Woo hoo!

Dinner with friends last night. They left for a camping trip today with their new pop-up tent. I really do think that’s the way to go. Some level of comfort, yet you still feel like you are camping. I can see myself investing in one of those some day. Today was more laid back. My son invited my niece over to play for a while. She’s 2, he’s 4.5, and he got bored with her when I told him he had to share all his toys and no, she was too little to watch the same stuff on tv that he likes. She left to nap, and he is too. I think I’ll take this time to sneak in a short one on the couch myself. It’s kind of freaky outside, all yellow. I guess it’s the smoke from some forest fires in Quebec, but if I didn’t know that (from reading online) I would think the world was ending. VERY odd color out there.

4th of July

Happy birthday, United States of America! You are a wonderful place to live, and despite what some people believe, the people who live here are generally kind, generous, and friendly. We love our families, our friends, and many times, perfect strangers who happen to work in Hollywood. We laugh and cry and pray, and don’t think twice about doing any of them. We get to pick who we want to manage the government for us. I wouldn’t trade any of these things for, say, a lifetime supply of Ben and Jerry’s or a 32-inch Sony television, no matter what impression I might give off.

So happy birthday. And many more.
