Lifeguard On Duty

-
Mice can't swim. Well, maybe they just can't swim in chlorinated water. Just about every time I go out to skim the pool, I find some poor mouse floating face down. I think last week alone I pulled about five mice out of the water.

It's a shame really. Preventable too I think, with the proper precautions in place. So I've hired a lifeguard to help alleviate the situation. She's a good swimmer, although I think she just really wants to work on her tan. But she's pretty friendly and she works for cheap. If only I could get her to shave her legs.


Side note: Stiffy, pictured in the background, does shave her legs as far as I know. At least when she comes to the pool anyway.

Awwwwwwwwwwww your lifeguard is adorable! Does she have to wear a "Little Swimmer's Pullups" ?
You certainly don't have to set mouse traps as long as you have that pool! I hope Stiffy is wearing sunscreen!

Thanks Lynt. Coco Channel always tries to look her best, even when sitting by the pool.

She should be wearing them Ruybe Jean. She likes to watch more than she likes to swim however, so I don't think we have had any piddles in the pool. But hey, that's what chlorine is for :).

Thanks Rita. Coco really does not like wearing those things, but I think they look smashing on her.

All she needs is a drink with an umbrella Chewy and she would be all set. She's much more of a lady than the little one.

Chia Head

Chia seeds. My latest health kick, along with aloe vera juice. Have you had aloe vera juice? Not the flavored aloe drinks but the actual juice? It tastes like a combination of b.o. and gasoline. Needless to say, I only managed to drink a few ounces of the stuff. Blondie has been holding her nose and gulping it down. Back to the chia. It has lots of fiber, protein and omega 3 and it tastes pretty good. I throw it on oatmeal, yogurt, or add it to juice. The fun with the chia is that those black little seeds find places to hide out in your teeth for hours. After lunch, I go to the women's room for a smile check. Then a couple of hours later, while you are in a meeting, one little seed that has been hiding behind your 3rd molar decides to come front and center. Hit the bathroom before driving home and you realize you had a lovely black thing or two  stuck in your choppers for the last half hour while presenting your point to group of colleagues. Now I understand why they make wh

Paper Strips. I Don't.

You know what's a pain in the ass? Shredding bills and bank statements.  It's time consuming, it's messy, and one box of paper creates three trash bags full of 1.5 inch X .3 inch paper strips. I want my bills to now be sent on cheese. That way when I shred them, I can at least at do something with the by-product. Put it on a sandwich, throw it on some pasta, toss it on top of some corn chips - all of which is better than trying to shove 20 pounds of paper into a trash bag meant to hold no more than 10 pounds. Great nachos CJ! Why thank you. That's my electric bill you are eating. I shred everything. Cable bill? Shred that bad boy. Don't need anyone seeing what extras I rented (don't judge!). Phone bills? What if someone finds my itemized statement and starts crank calling my relatives? Shred it too! Retirement statements? No one has to know I need to work for another 70 years. Shred, shred, shred! Amazon receipts? Ohhhh no. None of your bees wax. Yes, I
