Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.

My great grandmother's name was Sunshine (also my great Aunt). She was the sort of matriarch of the family with 7 children, 2 husbands, and a Southern upbringing. Whenever I hear the word sunshine I think of her and I think of thawing out in the sun when I was a kid, fresh out of the pool. I used to lay by the side of the pool and "warm up" before usually, well, getting back in the pool.

Anyway, I haven't laid next to a pool to warm up in awhile. These days I just let the sun that beats in through my office window warm me from the recycled air that is shoved around in the a/c vents. I have two more weeks of this at best, then I am going remote and laying by pools.

I will be able to work from a beach in Bali or a truck stop in Tulsa. Give me wi-fi at every Waffle House in America!

Hence the blogging down low. I am busy making sure everything is online, filed properly, and wrapped up like a little pastry in an upscale Madrid pastry shop when you are starving and that is all you can eat because you and your mother have had no luck ordering food that did not have watery canned tuna dumped on top of it. I am a few months behind, so I am catching up and getting ready to take it on the road.

If you are interested in hiring a jack of all trades, master of none, type girl Friday...let me know. My income is being cut in half as of May 15th.

Faithsalutes Cindy McCain for that yellow and turquoise ensemble on Jay Leno. Talk about sunshine! She bottled up the sun and three thousand peeps and made them into a fucking suit. She is cuter than Hilary and Michelle, though, hands down.

Warming up on the cement is the best. It is usually pretty cool in our backyard, especially when the boys play in the water and there is only one little spot where the sun shines and warms a piece of the cement. It is a coveted place when you're shivering...

yes, laying by the pool to get warm, them's good memories. of course, you usually had to wet down the cement before you laid down on it, you know, to cool it off a little so that it didn't burn you. love those phoenix summertime temperatures.
