Too much TV can be really bad for you.

Watching TV is the least costly among your endless options. Wise choice.

I appreciate that, Frankenkitty ...
And yes, the last day of Summer is often a day of mourning for what might have been (a more productive vacation).
But I vow that not to be the case this year!

Enjoy!
After substitute teaching for about a month now, I think I am going to apply for a full time teaching position in a grade 6 - 8 school next year! I hope it will be fun and exciting!!

Well, at least it's not the
last day of your vacation. That day is going to really suck. I love hiking, but whitewater rafting sounds dangerous. I hope you have a great summer!

I agree, they are weird that way. Some things I just don't want to know
So I ask him to censor himself. Total honesty in some areas is highly overrated, imho.

I've never quite understood the allure of "girl-on-girl action" to men ...
My boyfriend says he gets excited if he even sees me
talking to another girl.

Mademoiselle,
Trampy is good, why pretend, that's why my boyfriend watches. Even the weather girl is a hoochy mama.
Gideon will always channel surf and stop just long enough on the Spanish channel to see if there are any women fighting. In about 1 in 10 "channel surfs", he's right. There will be a long string of Spanish and then "whap".

Yeah, Blanche, usually the women are attractive (if somewhat trampy) ...
Not these ones though.
I guess because this particular show was geared primarily towards a female audience.
Meanwhile, I love the Spanish soap operas ... everything's all so dramatic.

If I had a bunny, I think it would be my first choice. Although, I would strongly consider "Bugs", too. But only if he was gray ... and a he.

I love the Spanish channel, Mademoiselle,
Usually the tearful women are wearing gold spandex, cut down to
there, while speaking volleys of (to me) unintelligible Spanish, and once in a while, someone will start fighting. It's very entertaining.

Mademoiselle....Enjoy your time off, doing something close to nothing...
I like that line from Prince's 'Raspberry Beret.' That line is in there about doing something close to nothing.' How brilliant is that line??? Anyway, hope you end up hiking saomeplace even if it's in your imagination....

Aaron, I'm not sure how appealing a catfight would have been ...
between these particular women.
Unless, of course, you're into the Ruth Buzzi and Ann Ramsey types.
P.S. I really need to stop with the obscure references.

It feels strange to suddenly have so much free time.

To us guys,
watching a "The View" type talk show, in a language we can't really understand, and with a lot of tearful confessions - would be hell. We'd be screaming for explosions, car chases, even a catfight.

Okay then, foothills it is!
But you do realize there are only certain times of the year when one can climb Mt. Everest. How about jumping out of an airplane over the ocean?

I love this post!
It's funny and clever.
Actually, those first few days are your time to unwind, a time of transition. This happens to me in my job. The work is so different from my regular life that it takes a few weeks to adjust. You'll be out there jumping out of airplanes in no time.
I think this is the season for climbing Everest in case you're inclined.
