D#2 is in her junior year of high school. The school hosted a career day this week. It’s a good idea to get these kids thinking about their futures, their options. She spoke with a published author among others. It seems that many of the people who presented something had freebies – pens, magnets etc.

Here I am modeling one of the give aways.

Yes, it is a clown nose. A clown nose. At career day the high school handed out clown noses. Running off and joining the circus is a career option.

I know, I know — there is an art in being a clown. It is nothing to laugh at – nothing to turn my nose up at. ; ) They probably make shitloads of money. But really, it made me laugh and I am still laughing.

which is what a clown is supposed to do, right?

If she doesn’t run off and join the circus, perhaps she will consider a musical career. I hope you all have a great weekend – see you on Tuesday!

if I were a rich pig …..

the weekend: yardwork, cleaning, shopping, pedicures. It’s all about balance!

it’s a two pig kind of day! Mr. Boar is talking about taking the cover off of the pool tomorrow and if that does happen, there will be no blogging. Rather than having you face your holiday one swine short, I doubled up today. There, don’t we all feel better now?

Yes, Boar and I almost always open the pool in April. Although it is usually at the end of April. Our pool is wonderful. It’s got a slide, a dive and is a summertime dream. However, it is as old as our house (44 years!) and just about every year there is something wrong that needs to be fixed. So we open it in April and that gives us the entire month of May to fix whatever the problem of the year is and we are all set for Memorial Day.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!
