Today is all aboutgetting stuff done!  I did give myself aninflatable pool break, but other than that, I’ve been taking care of business(TCB – shout out to Elvis).  Thismorning, I got the groceries for the week, I got stuff organized for my campnext week and mowed the backyard.  Latertoday, I’m going to clean the kitchen and bathrooms, dust and do thefloors.  Then, I’ll make dinner and plopdown in the chair to watch The Silence of the Lambs and True Blood.  It always feels good to get the housecleaned before watching a good psychological thriller and/or anything about vampires!  I have no doubt the dogs willdo their damndest to mess it up again, but that’s just the way it goes.  More than likely, I will also treat myself tomany many a delicious cocktails to go with my evening. Those That cocktails will be this one! Give it a try.
