20 June 2008

1st day of summer

summer solstice

longest day of the year
(tomorrow - first full day)

hot hot hot

today might be the first day in a couple of weeks
where the temperature does not hit 100+ here

on Tuesday my car thermostat hit 110

a slight chance of rain today

fingers crossed

today is also Take Your Dog to Work day

fun

Bodhi got to come home yesterday afternoon
instead of having to wait until this morning

yay

Events Past and Future

May 11 - Happy Mother's Day

May 13-17 - I met the parents in Key West and learned that "conch" is pronounced "conk" and that if a bar advertises that it shows American Idol on the big screen then it is necessarily a gay bar

June 15 - Happy Father's Day

June 19 - today - Bodhi was neutered so no more "half Bodhis" (sperm are "half babies") - I thought I would love the peace and quiet of having the Bodhi Monster at the vet for 24 hours but it has been way too peaceful and way too quiet today

June 28-30 - Uncle Dave visits from St. Louis

approximately July 4-13 - hopefully South Padre Island windsurfing with Marco and Ed
