weekend in review
Some weekends are very lazy. Sometimes I hardly leave my apartment. This is not one of those weekends. For your easy reading I present “What Keeps Me Busy” in a convenient bullet format:
- I got a new mattress. To say that this was needed would be a gross understatement. I would not be surprised to find out that someone had used this very set after a hard day of deliberating over this new document they are calling the “Declaration of Independence”. Even if that isn’t true, it hailed from a time slightly further back in history than the recommended 5-8 year life span. If it gives you any indication, the mattress had the price printed on it standing at a cool $86.50. They are not that cheap anymore, nor are they as thin. Seriously, what happened with mattresses in the last couple decades? The outgoing sleeping surface, mattress and box springs, was about 16in, thick. The new mattress alone is thicker than that. Here’s hoping this will improve my ability to actually sleep.
- I pet a baby manatee, in the wild, in the back yard! Yeah, that’s right South Carolina, down here in Florida have manatees in people’s back yards. We have big ones and little ones, old ones and young ones, but all of them have hair lips and drink from the garden hose. What kind of world am I living it that you grab the garden hose and water the aquatic mammals in the backyard.
- Magnetic toys + the lady friend = a good time had by all, because some times you just have to be a kid for a little while. Since I am on the subject of being a kid, the VeggieTales movie, The Lord of the Bean should be seen by fans of either talking food or Tolkien.
