I just want to bang on the drums all day.


Well the obvious is that I don't want to work, but that is a given. But for real, i feel like i could beat the living crap out of something, anything. Just feel pent up and a need for a good outlet. I can easily see me getting home this afternoon and spending a good few minutes beating the crap out of the punching bag we have. It isn't the best, but it works on days like today. (OK that picture of Oscar Dela Hoya is pretty funny, you have to admit- that got a smile cracked)
Nothing really in particular is wrong, just everyone and everything. Today was a day that i really should have stayed in bed. Celebrated John Lennon's bed in today. I am sure there would have been something to annoy me in bed too. I can already think of a few off the top of my head.
So, yesterday when i got home after work, My boyfriend and I did a great job of rationalizing why we didn't need to go to the home buyers meeting last night and didn't. He did some gardening and I tossed my softball around the backyard. I need to get some more practice in before the big game tomorrow. My boyfriend showed me where the lettuce and some spinach is coming up already. Both kinds of plants love this kind of weather, so this is a great time to plant them in Denver.

We are still debating if we want to stay in the house we are currently renting, or if we should move to another house while looking for one to purchase. OF course the act of moving SUCKS, but the house is really not that great, but better than others. This has been a decision that has weighted on us for a while and with my personality style, i have a hard time "taking some time to think about it".

After work i have to run by the ARC store and drop off those donations i was talking about yesterday (i will let them decide what to do with the panties) and then to the dog food store or else I will be the dog food. Then I am going to get my car washed and i think we have a gift certificate to a local pub that has to be used by the end of the month, so i think we might go there for dinner tonight.

In celebration of some of today's highlights, I want to wish everyone a very Happy "Barefoot Writer is the Best Blogger in the World" Day. see below and the send me my gifts of appreciation.

finally I feel that i need to give a Public Service Announcement. If you happen to be in a Drug Store and they are selling easter candy for 50% or more off.. DO NOT, and i repeat, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PURCHASE THE 3MUSKATEERS RASPBERRY FILLING SQUARES!!!
They are worse than Lay's potato chips. you can not put the bag down... If you happen to have a bag of these in your home, put them down, email me and i will tell you where to send them. Remember about November time, when I warned you all against the Raspberry M&M's that were only out for a limited time, well these are just about the same.. AMAZINGLY ADDICTIVE... I think i ate about 17 before bed last night.. not to worry we got two bags the last time we were at the store.. plenty to go around.


Here are some things you can ponder while i am beating the crap out of my punching bag after finishing the bag of 3 musketeers.

Today is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day, a day to name for whatever you wish, sponsored by the Tom and Ruth Roy of Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

Today is National Nougat Day. (send me your raspberry nougat)

Today is Legal Assistants Day.

Today is The Young and the Restless Day. The TV soap opera debuted on this date in 1973. Cast members have included David Hasselhoff, Tom Selleck, Wings Hauser, Deidre Hall, and Michael Damian. (as my grandmother would say, can’t miss your stories)

Today is National Puppy Appreciation Day. (George, we all appreciate you and your puppiness- well maybe just the breath, not the other end)

Today is Independence Day in Bangladesh. (You mean March 26th)

Today is Baltimore Oriole Appreciation Day, focusing attention on one of nature's most beautiful birds. (Yeah the bird maybe pretty but the ball team bites big ones)

1973: The daytime soap drama "The Young & The Restless" debuted on CBS-TV. (didn’t I hear this some where? Maybe there is an echo in here)

1987: Actor Walter Abel died at age 88. His films included "The Three Musketeers" of 1935, "Hold Back the Dawn," "Holiday Inn," and "Raintree County." (ok that’s just weird that this is a 3 Musketeers reference… too weird and I grew up on Raintree Drive, OK maybe I went too far with that one)

1994: Roger Clinton married Molly Martin at the Arboretum and Botanical Garden in Dallas. President Bill Clinton was his brother’s best man. (I don’t think I really care.. do you?)

1995: A Cloucester, England, man was charged with criminal damage after he shot his old Ford Sierra seven times with a shotgun. (Had the judge ever driven a FORD, maybe would have gotten some leniency)

1999: Dr. Jack Kevorkian was convicted in Pontiac, Michigan, of second-degree murder for giving a patient with Lou Gehrig's disease a lethal injection, an action videotaped and broadcast on television. (That’s Senator Kevorkian to you)

2000: The Seattle Kingdome was imploded to make way for a new football arena.

2000: Vladimir Putin was elected president of Russia (too sacred to say anything negative)

2003: Tony Evans of Swansea, Wales, dropped the world's largest rubber band ball out of an airplane over the Mojave Desert in Arizona to see if it would bounce. It didn't. The one-ton record breaking ball took 20 seconds to drop a mile and stayed firmly rooted in the crater it created. Evans had spent five years building the ball. (That’s too bad, my money would have been on a bounce, but now I want to see the crater)

2006: Scotland banned smoking in all public places. A BBC poll found about 21 percent of adults surveyed said they would ignore the law. (I spent some time in Scotland and I thought it was a law that you HAD TO smoke.??.)
