I'll have a Corona cowboy hat please!

It's a beer box cowboy hat. Last night when I walked into a bar, I spotted this woman wearing one.



I had never seen one before. And then when I looked across the bar, I spotted more people wearing them.



We asked the bartender and …

The boardwalk

I just got back from the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD. The ocean breeze was nice considering it was still 85 degrees outside at 10 p.m. It's been quite a while since I've walked the boardwalk at night. I have such fond memories of the boardwalk from my childhood, again …

Am I just rubbing it in?

So this is where I spent six hours yesterday, on the beach in Ocean City, MD. The weather was perfect. In the low 80's with a nice breeze, which is refreshing after the 90's and humidity in Tampa. Though today is supposed to be hotter. I didn't actually go swimming …

Does the environment want my dishes to be dirty?

The other day I bought Eco-friendly dishwasher detergent. I'm still a long way from tree-hugger status, but I try and do little things here and there. I use my "green" bags when shopping and I recently bought the energy saving light bulbs. But this recent purchase …

Mosquito home remedy update

Okay, I think all the itching has caused me to lose my mind. Some of my Pleeps (Plurk Users) suggested Windex in the last post. And I tried it and thought it was working. But alas, the relief only lasted a few minutes. So I decided to try the baking soda & water …

I hate mosquitoes, why do they love me?

So I'm over my friend's house out by his pool. He invited a few people over, threw on the grill and we had a few beers. I'm having a good time, enjoying the night. And suddenly I see a pesky mosquito on my arm. I swat it away and don't see any blood, so I figure I'm …

I read a story about a substitute teacher in Pasco County (that's here in the Tampa Bay area) who had been suspended for so-called wizardry last month. I thought the story was a little bizarre, but didn't think too much of it because hey it's Florida. Then yesterday a …

Dating deal breakers
