Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th to all...and it's hotter than...love in August.  I'm not sure what that means but I saw it online.  I also saw: "It's hotter than two cats fighting in a wool sock" and "It's hotter than a billy goat in a pepper patch".  That's a weird one. How about "It's hotter than a June bride in a feather bed".  What does that mean?  Or  "It's hotter than a hoot n poot"...hmm...not sure.  "It's hotter than a steel playground at noon"...ouch that's hot.  Of course I said that one to Jim and he said, "You know, the heat of the day isn't really noon...it's much later."  Oh, okay, thanks Einstein!  Turd!  Hee hee.

So, I've already walked Sami...I figured I better get that out of the way because at 7AM when I turned on the TV, they said it was 75 degrees and HUMID!  I will concur with that.  By the time I returned from my 2 miler with my baby, I was a dripping mess.  YUCK!

What are my plans today, you ask?  Nothing much.  I think we'll hang around here.  Jim has some picking up to do - sticks and branches from the storm last week.  I'll head to the store in a bit and get a couple steaks.  I'll do some ribeyes tonight with a blue cheese onion sauce...an old fave.  I'll serve it with some roasted cauliflower and red potatoes...yum!

And that's about all I've got.  I was busy yesterday shopping for insurance (sucked).  The insurance through my union was cheaper on house (by about $500) but about $700 more expensive for car (that's for 12 months btw).  Don't know why.  In fact the other places I've priced for my cars have been comparable to my current insurance so I'm not sure what the eff is up with the union insurance.  The guy said he was surprised because they tend to be pretty competitive.  I'm now waiting to hear back from a guy who is checking on what has so far been the best bet...Mom, you'll be happy to know it's Erie.  We'll see.

K - well, I best go make my list and get to Kroger before the mad rush of the July 4th fools out there.  Oh, and Maggie, I'm going to get some Bud Light margarita stuff...I'll let you know.  Ooh, 8% alcohol...bonus!!!  K - Later!
