The topic on the radio this morning was "The Perfect Summer Day". What do you absolutely HAVE to do each summer to feel complete?

They came up with shit like "Looking for fireflies" and "Playing stickball in the street". That just really is not my cup of tea, but it made me start thinking about summers past and well, summer present. So, here is what I want to do to have a "Perfect Summer Day".

I want to wake up early and drive down to the beach. I want to lay out on the beach while it is still early and not crazy-center-of - the - Earth - hot. I want a cooler with iced tea and an egg salad sandwich like we used to have at the beach when we were kids. Mom made great egg salad in this huge tupperware bowl. I want to get absolutely burned. Red as a cheap lipstick. Cooked. Then I want to get a vanilla milkshake on the way home.

Or buy something from an icecream truck... I love that.

Here is what will mostlikely happen: I will continue to spritz myself with fake tanner, take a shower, troll Craigslist for hours on end and then eat an icecream sandwich out of the freezer.

Tragedy :)

Wow. I have fallen back into the habit of being a really bad blogger. Shame on me.

Updates:
I met a troll at the Days Inn last week.
I'm still a work-work-working machine
I found a Basset Hound on Craigslist... (Cause I am still a CL whore)
Drove to Hinesville with Dad to pick up dog... His name is Tank. He is precious
He was for Bowen... cause a boy needs a dog. He loves him. :) all together now: "Awwwww"

I did not do anything Watermelon Festival related... but I did get tipsy at the bar when I planned to go to the Taste of Hampton... so I guess that counts.... or not. I am just not into the whole Watermelon Festival thing.

My back went out last week. I smelled of icy hot and walked like I had a large object inserted in my Southernmost orifice.

My new clinical trial is up and moving.... slowly... very very slowly.

Life is going well... pretty darn well, actually... surprisingly enough.

So the 4th of July approaches.... I wonder if there will be a grilled veggie burger in my future?
