Labor Day Smakk
I’m appreciative of the day off and will be enjoying it in the decadent soiree known as Party Cove, but am I the only one that thinks it’s odd to celebrate "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" by taking the day off from work? Maybe we should change some other holiday traditions then:

Eat rabbit on Easter
Steal from your neighbor on Thanksgiving
Commit your parents to old folks home on Mother’s/Father’s Day
Make Valentine’s Day all about materialistic gifts rather than love and affection (oh yeah…already there on that one)
Stay sober on Fat Tuesday & Cinco de Mayo

Anyway, you get the point. I’m just so happy it’s Friday. Have a great weekend and I’ll talk to you all on Tuesday when I start sobering up…

House Smakk
Just a few of those little treats that I have had to deal with over the past couple of weeks as a homeowner:

New pump for pool - $1100
New filter for pool - $1300
New washing machine - $750
Tree service - $700 (still deciding on this one)
Pipe check for leaks - $200 (yay - no leaks)
Cracks in wall/ Foundation - still unknown

What a fuckin' time to give up drinking during the week. I don't even think my savings from Captain will cover this...

Dinner Smakk
Even having a nice dinner at home can be exciting at Club 6850. Yesterday evening, I decided to try a new meal and made a Mexican Lasagna for the Bunny & I. So I browned a little ground turkey, added in some onions and black beans, and then for some kick, threw in a few hand chopped fresh jalapenos out of our pepper garden. I let it all simmer with some taco seasoning and then layered it all in flour tortillas and cheese in a casserole dish. Last thing was just pop it in the oven for 20 minutes as I go change into some more comfortable wear for the remainder of the evening.
So on the way back to the bedroom, I have to make a quick stop to drain the main vein. I do my business, wash my hands, change clothes and it’s back out to check on the dinner progress. Just about this time, a burning sensation starts heating up down there on Little Smakk. And it starts heating up fast! So I bolt back into the bathroom, dive in the shower and proceed to have freezing water spraying right in my nether region. Yes…it’s not the best move to take a piss right after you have been chopping fresh jalapenos. That will put a hitch in your giddy up…

Thermo Smakk
While lounging out in the pool on Saturday, the Bunny said that I remind her of a thermometer. Cold and hard on the outside with a poisonous liquid inside, changes temperatures all the time for no good reason and sometimes she has to shake me down to get settled. Funny, funny until I go rectal on her...
