Tomorrow, 07/11/08 is FREE SLURPEE DAY!!!  If you live near a 7-11 (or work next to one with a lot of wacky, crazy people) then make sure that you stop by to get your free 7.11 ounce slurpee.  That is not much, but it is great free little surprise for your kids!

Peggy says that I need to read this book with her.  I have not heard of the book before, but apparently it’s been out since 2005 and has been a big hit.  There is a whole series, and this is the first.  They are classified as “Young Adult” reading, but all the reviews that I read said to not let that sway you from reading it.  Smizzo - this book is right up your alley - it’s a Vampire novel!  You need to get it and read it too!  It is also being made into a movie that comes out in December 2008.  Anyways, I went and picked it up at lunch today, so we’ll see - hopefully it is good reading for the pool.  Dena can have it when I am done.

... send her flowers at work!  This makes Misty VERY VERY happy.  I mean who does not love being surprised at work with flowers?  Seriously!  Especially when it is not your birthday or Valentine’s Day!  Wanna know how to make Misty even happier?

Replace the aforementioned flowers with NEW flowers when the old ones start to wilt and die.  YAY!

Today is International Surfing Day!  I love doing this post every year… just for Dena.  Because today is International Surfing Day, you can join The Surfrider Foundation for only $20 and get a great t-shirt for doing so!  Plus you would totally be doing your part to help our beaches!!!  If you live near a beach, or just love the beach - you can understand the awesome work that this organization does!  Please note that this is NOT one of those paid post things - I am just passing along the info - so go join and contribute some money to a good cause, I did!  Plus you get a T-Shirt for doing so!!!  You would pay $20 for a shirt anyways, why not make sure the money goes to a good cause?  Here is some more information:

Ever needed a legitimate excuse to go surfing? Well, on June 20, 2008, you finally have it: International Surfing Day. Created by SURFING Magazine & The Surfrider Foundation, this unofficial, official surfers’ holiday gives us a chance to promote and celebrate the sport while bringing awareness to the state of our oceans and beaches.

The goal is simple: take the day, or at least a part of the day, to go out, catch a wave or three and—while you’re at it—help clean up your favorite beach. In conjunction with the Surfrider Foundation, we’ll be organizing a handful of official beach cleanups, but that doesn’t stop you from beautifying your own stretch of sand.
