Summer is really here. The temperatures are expected to hit the 90’s for the next couple of days. I’m off to the new Water Park here in town tomorrow. Gonna spend the day on the Lazy River on an inner tube. This week end is supposed to be a scorcher as well. I’m glad that the bar that I work at has air conditioning that works well.

Why do most people always cringe when they hear it’s Friday the 13th? I have always have the best luck ever on those days. I guess maybe I’m strange like that but 13 has always been a lucky number for me. I found out some really cool stuff about the Friday the 13th myth at crystalinks.com/friday13th.html. Check it out if you’re one of those strange people that fear that day. It just might help you over your fear, maybe.

A few years ago I was in Phoenix for a job interview. The company was a new franchising effort and they were staffing up. The open position was to replace someone who was leaving the company, and we hit it off great.Sitting in her office I noticed a pair of strange but cutely unique stuffed animals and a box logo’d with their likeness. I asked about them and she told me they were a gift from one of the franchisees, a new line of Hallmark Cards greeting cards and gifts. They are a pink kitty and a green bunny, named Hoops and YoYo, who are as funny as all get out.

So I went online later and looked for the Hoops and YoYo line and found a huge amount of free e-mail greeting cards and gift items for sale. They are hilarious, check them out sometime!

Well this morning I had gone to the little gas station down the street from my house, where I purchased a drink called Monster thinking it was just to boost you up a little bit for the day ahead. Unfortunately about 5 hours after drinking it, I had experienced jittery bursts out of no where, and I couldn’t stop thinking about everything at the quick speed it was going.

I got so ahead of myself that I ended up spilling hot coffee all over my white blouse that I had on, what a mess! Now I’m worn out and I feel like I ran 8 miles with no break, about to pass out. Be aware of these drinks they cant be too healthy for you.

One of the few businesses that I have worked for at the  mall was at a kiosk that sold “Designer Sunglasses” and it opened up a whole new world to me of sunglasses and sunglasses accessories. I had no idea how huge this industry had become and the amount of money that people spend in an effort to own and look good while wearing, a good pair of sunglasses.The variety of styles and prices that this small kiosk, in a small town mall, was pretty decent, enough so that they usually took in on average, daily around $500., of course some days it would amount to several thousand and rarely was a zero day ever reported. Now think about it, nationally that adds up to a considerably large amount of money being spent on sunglasses. And I’m so glad that I got the opportunity to learn all that I did during the time that I worked there, and I have a nice selection of sunglasses to keep me going for years to come.
