Uh-oh... it's spring break time!

I put this sweet little picture of a baby dolphin swimming with it's mom in the dolphin nursery at Sea World in Florida.

This is what I did last spring break, so that's why I chose it.

I also picked this one because I didn't have any pictures of highly inebriated college students flashing body parts, passing out on the beach or barfing on their shoes.

I did watch "Where The Boys Are" laughing as much for the fun of it as I did for its hopelessly antiquated and tame standards, in comparison to the Spring Breaks nowadays.

Still, it is among one of my very favorite movies. As a teenager, I dreamed of going to Ft. Lauderdale and maybe meeting a "Yale-ie"... ah yes, the folly of youth.

What can I say? I dreamed of doing Spring Break in Lauderdale! Of course, I also wanted to go to an all girl Catholic boarding school because of the movie "The Trouble With Angels. I had forgotten about already having been kicked out of a Catholic parochial school when I was little. Go figure.

By the time I was old enough to go to the "Larger-than-life-Spring-Break-Trip-to-Ft. Lauderdale" I was grown up, a thousand bucks short on cash, working two jobs and wasn't all that keen on drinking anymore.

As for boarding school... I probably would have been better off at a military academy. (Sir! Captain Sir! Do we get to blow stuff up?) Yeah... that I could have done! In all honesty... I should just be thankful that I made through school period!

My break this year is going to be interesting to say the least. I'll be "dog-sitting" The older dog is some kind of bird hunting breed and for the life of me, I can never remember what it is! All I know is that I call him "The Wookie" because that's what he looks like! Then there will be the "baby" He's a 5 month old yellow lab. That should be fun.

I intend for them to spend a lot of time with me at the dog park. After all, the first rule of training is a tired puppy is happy puppy! HA! I just hope the weather holds and the park doesn't transform into a swamp.

I love dogs, so I am happy to be able to do this. My cat Ludie however, isn't quite on board with the whole thing. Which reminds me... I need to get him some kitty valium. (kidding!) He'll get over it. As long as he gets one undisturbed nap a day with me he doesn't demand much else. How can he? He sleeps about 20 hours out of 24 now. It's just those 4 hours alone that tick him off.

Still... it'll be a long week for him. He gets over it quickly though... he's mellowed with age and tends to only scream at me for about two days before either losing his voice or just getting tired and giving it up. Me? I just bought new earplugs, so no worries there.

Maybe I should reconsider the valium... for me!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
