If you’re wandering aimlessly around my website, lost without categories and tags, don’t fret.

With the help of Lisa, WordPress has been updated. I thought since I’ve been running 2.0 for the past two years, it was time for a change. Unfortunately, my tags and categories didn’t feel the same way.

If I can fix it, I will. If not, categories and tags will slowly return and older posts can have a party in their own category.

I’m not sure if you everyone realizes this or not, but I’m royalty. I worked at three different swimming pool stores over ten years, and was known as the Pool Princess.

That gives me the authority to recommend the best swimming pool and spa products, including hot tub covers from Spa Scenes.

Hot tub covers serve a lot of purposes. They keep evaporation to a minimum, ensures that the water stays at the perfect temperature, reduces the amount of chemicals used, and they keep kids and animals out or what could be a dangerous situation. They are pretty much a necessity for any spa owner, and the benefits tend to outweigh the unsightly brown or grey hunk of foam propped up next to your spa when you’re enjoying a relaxing soak.

Thankfully, dingy hot tub covers are a thing of the past with Spa Scenes, which ads panoramic and full-view murals to the underside of any spa cover. That means that you can be sitting in Indiana in the middle of winter, and enjoying an ocean view. Lounging on top of a high rise in the city, and looking out over a babbling brook.

The cover takes no special tools to install, fits virtually any size and shape cover, won’t harm the cover, and can be changed out for a different scene every season.

This is definitely something the Pool Princess will be purchasing…as soon as she buys a hot tub.

Why do cashiers insist on giving change by putting the dollar bills in your hand first and then piling the coins on top, thus increasing your chances of dropping the coins everywhere? This is especially aggravating when you’re at a drive-thru and your car is lower than the window, so you end up having coins flying all over the car.

I worked retail for almost ten years, and the first thing I was taught was to put change in the costumer’s hand first and then dollar bills. Is reversing the order a subtle f-you by cashiers?

We talk about poop a lot in my family. We don’t chart anyone’s bowel movements or discuss color and consistancy, but we do make poop jokes on par with second graders and recommend reading material. We’ve been known to do a Colon Cleanse or two for a little body detoxification before we start a new diet, and we even taught my little cousins to pinch their noses and say “pee-ew” when we changed their diapers. Every body poops, and my family isn’t afraid to talk about it, but we try to keep the comments to a minimum when there is company.

I’m having issues today.

I forgot to bring change for tolls, then my office phone dies, then the internet decides it doesn’t want to work today, which means that I can’t receive my email or book a business trip to Atlanta, which conveniently enough, butts right up against Agency Boot Camp and my trip to NYC Memorial Day weekend. On top of all that, it’s cold and rainy outside.

Lovely day, isn’t it?
