In With The Good Air, Out With The Bad

-
The thing with pool floats is that they all have that fancy one way valve so the air does not escape when you are inflating them. Good for the start of the season, not so good for the end. Every year I find myself wrestling with the floats, trying to pinch open the valve while pushing the air towards the exit.

My neighbor has a clear view of my deck. I was wondering if he thought I had passed out on top of the float, or if I was getting kinky with the pool toys. Either way, it makes me smirk to picture him looking out the window wondering just what the heck I am doing. I can hear him now - "Honey, you gotta see this. It's that crazy lesbian next door and she's at it with the inflatables again."

You crack us UP! That task could have been on the "Billy Do" list! :) See you guys soon! Shakago and Theodores look fun! Billy is thirsty for a $12 martini. H&B

Thanks OC (blush). Not sure that was what my neighbor was thinking.

H&B - Crack is a good term to use here I think. If I see any ghosts in Theodores I am outta there (unless you and Billy promise to protect me). A martini sounds good to me too!

I thought inflatables were more of a straight guy thing.

Hi United! Thanks for stopping by. Just watch out for the seams.

Just doing my part to keep the neighborhood interesting Rubye Jean!

I'm wondering if I can find a blow-up mermaid John?

Hey Karen - I do remember Gladys! What was her husband's name?

You know Lyn, it really wasn't too uncomfortable prior to all the air coming out.

Hey thanks Real Live. It would be a lot better if I got on the butt blaster at the gym.

I thought it would never all come out Chewy. That was a lot of air.

Hey Butch Boo. I was LOL at that picture on your blog. Bad pool toy, bad.

I cheat Shrinky - I use a pump. Now if I could just find a device to suck the air out I would be all set.

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

What's A Girl To Do About Packing?

Salsa Shark I'm going on vacation in a few weeks to some place warm. Thought it might be a good idea today to try on my shorts. All of them, except for four pairs, somehow shrunk in my drawer over the winter. So off to the mall I went. I picked up a few pairs of shorts, along with a big new suitcase. Can somebody please tell me when a suitcase started costing between $200 and $350? Who needs ballistic nylon encasing their bathing suit and suntan lotion? Apparently a lot of folks do because the suitcases I saw could withstand any sort of attack, foreign or domestic. Nice to know if, God forbid, the plane goes down, my underwear will remain intact inside my Samsonite. I better be careful what I pack. Somethings are better not found. I finished off my evening with dinner at a Mexican restaurant. That's when the Salsa Shark appeared. If only I had handy my new suitcase that doubles as a shark cage. Oh well, maybe I can try that feature while on vacation.
