Happy Federal Holiday! Happy Monday!

Today is the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.

While watching the news this morning, I didn't have my glasses on. The first thing I saw was a headline...

MLK Day

me, not having my glasses- I saw m - i - l - k!

I was thinking about that- and thought... well... if they'd add "ing" to the end- it would be more accurate. Then it could be read as "milking Day".

Regardless- it is a federal holiday and there's plenty of sales... and since our President thinks it's a good idea to $pend money and improve our economy; we should all take advantage of the holiday and go $hopping!

Ah.... gotta love our government! Now I have an excuse to offer my husband!

I'm celebrating milking day and improving the nation's economy; I'm practicing being a good citizen! May I have a jamocha shake with that, please?

I could "milk" this for a long, long time! 'er... cheezy grin?

Use the link above to see the dates that our government has set aside for the retail industry to plan for big shopping events- I mean to improve the GNP, corporate bottom-lines, and national debt!

Thanks to Dr King.. I have a dream.... a new car, a new digital SLR camera, a new flat-screen High-def TV, a new Apple lap-top (oh, wait... maybe I should save that for a holiday associated with a fruit-tree? apples are sorta like cherries, right?), some lovely new art supplies....

Go out- $timulate the economy... being patriotic never felt so good. And, be sure and drink your milk.

Addendum... my Dad says I'm being a heifer when I get this sassy. I think he just needs to be more cultured cuz I know I'm the cream of the crop! at least- when I scrapbook! Furthermore, no disrespect is intended towards Mr King.
