On my writing days I am consumed by what the heck I will write about. I search the web for inspiration, try to recall something funny Mrs Dufus might have said lately, wrack my brain about what I may have read about recently in the news and think about whether or not I have an opinion, can embellish or twist it to make it humorous. Here's how my day went yesterday.

4:40pm - back to book
5:30pm - recheck blog comments, visit other blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Google+

We call our pool vacuum cleaner a creepy - I guess because it creeps along the bottom and sides of the pool.
HA!
AND you only peed twice?
I'm beginning to see the problem...
heh heh heh
"Creepy" is the creepy-crawler, our pool vacuum, not a Radiohead song.
you put your creepy out
you put your creepy in
and you shake it all about...
Oh, no that's not quite how it goes.
