Happy Memorial Day!

I think it is important to take a minute today to remember all of the men and women who have fought for our country over the years, and all of those who are still fighting. My great-uncle actually was awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor in WWII. I saw him a few weeks ago at his 81st birthday party, and he was actually wearing it. He is truly an amazing man, and the stories he tells are awe-inspiring. I could never do anything like that, but I am grateful there are people out there who can.

Because I work for a bank, I am off of work today. I have so much I could get done, and I have done nothing so far. Yesterday morning, I washed my car and then cleaned the house. While I was cleaning the house, I let my 2 dogs out in the front yard to play. Awhile later, L comes home and calls me outside. My left side of my car (the one facing the yard) is covered in dirt. Cash (the brindle boxer) decided that he would like to dig a hole to China via our front yard. How he got dirt onto the roof of my car I have no idea.

Also, I just found out the other day that my dad is engaged. C will be his 3rd wife - there was my mom, then J (wicked stepmother), now C. Obviously my mom and dad are divorced. J died of ovarian cancer. She hadn't been to the gyno in over 6 years, so get to your yearly check-ups, ladies! Anyway, I really like C, so I am pretty happy about this news. Congrats, Dad!

The only other thing I have planned for today is to go to my mom's for a Memorial Day grill-out. That means good food, cornhole, and maybe a beer (or 2) before I start stims in 2 weeks. It is supposed to start at 2 this afternoon, of course L is making a big deal out of it being so early in the day. He always finds something to complain about when it is something he doesn't want to do. Are all men like that? Or am I lucky enough to have found the only one? Geez.
