Klowns in my Koffee

Daily Kup (What I Did On my Reality Vacation)
I was planning on starting a series of posts tonight showing how we got our grocery bills for five people -- including personal, pet, paper goods and other grocery store items -- down to about $400 per month or .89 per meal per person. Over ten percent of this is still T's gallons of pop and M&Ms, so the results would be even better if the sugar express could be derailed.

That will have to wait until tomorrow. I spent about half the day on the roof inspecting, cleaning out gutters, lightly sweeping to get rid of pernicious tree seeds and little sticks, and scraping off moss and lichens. I also cut off as much of the overhanging trees as I could safely reach. So far, so good.

I was careful to wear long pants and a hat and cover my arms and face with sunscreen. Still, I knew that I got a little more exposure than I should have since I felt all woozy and light-headed after I climbed down. Later, my family pointed out to me that my shirt gaps a bit when I stretch. Apparently, it gapped a lot when I crawled on my hand and knees across each tier of shingles to remove moss.

While I've never considered getting a tattoo on my lower back, if this is what it would feel like, it is definitely off the bucket list. T says it looks like the giant lips in the Dairy Queen ad and had to take this picture to prove it.
