I missed the fireworks.

 This past weekend I was at a retreat, so I didn't get to see any fireworks!  I heard the ones at the National mall were post-poned for several hours due to rain.  I would have liked to have seen our hometown fireworks.  Those for the 4th largest city in the US must have been fabulous!  But, alas, all I could do was hear the amateur pyro from where I was. Oh well.

 

And right now, I'm eating slightly expired yogurt and wondering what's going to happen to me!  Wish me luck!

Random Happy Tuesday - for the birds!

 

This time change is killing me!  One day I get too much sleep.  Another day I can't sleep at all.  This is for the birds!  I wish we just stayed at one time - all the time - and didn't change it twice a year.  How about you?

And speaking of it being for the birds... The idiom is believed to have been started by soldiers during WWII.  They would use it to describe anything that was useless, boring, or of little value.  It is believed the imagery comes from birds pecking in dung meaning that if some thing is of such low quality, it isn't fit for me, only for birds.  HM.  I learned something new!

Bird puns:

• "That bird joke flew right over your head."
• "I'm trying to feed the birds but the squirrels keep robin the seed."
• "Stop mocking-bird me! Toucan play that game."
• "I’m not an early bird, I’m a night owl."
• "How hawk-ward is that?"

How did you like these?  Were you groaning as much as I was? Haha!
