Wacky Wednesday! Weeki Wachee

I was watching The Travel Channel yesterday where they featured "Extreme Roadside Attractions". Yes, I tend to have a lot of time on my hands. One of the segments featured a place I'd never heard of, Weeki Wachee. This attraction features an underwater show with mermaids - so cool!

These mermaids perform routines in the natural springs of this Florida location at 72 degrees some 16-20 feet below the surface. And, they do this without scuba gear. Since 1947, these mermaids have entertained some 35 million visitors daily only with the support of a hose that pumps compressed air into their lungs.

Each mermaid, before she earns her fins, has to complete rigorous training schedule for 6 months. Once she has earned her scuba certification, perfected the use of the hose and the routines, she becomes a part of this unique show. In addition, she has to learn to deal with the wildlife that also call Weeki Wachee Springs home - like fish and turtles.

Wacky! I'm definitely adding Weeki Wachee to my bucket list.

The 90 Day Plan

I came across my resolutions for 2009 yesterday. As I read through the list, I noticed I had not quite fulfilled all of the changes I had set for myself. There are roughly 90 days until the clock strikes at midnight for 2010. In the meantime, I am working diligently to complete this list.

1. I will not sit in my living room all day in my nightgown. Instead, I will move my computer into the bedroom. Well, this one is still a work in progress, maybe I'll just move my bed into the living room.

2. I will no longer waste my time reliving the past, instead I will spend it worrying about the future. Check, I have taken this task a step further, now I don't worry about either.

3. I will do less laundry and use more deodorant. Check, Secret Clinical Strength Sport in the Marathon Fresh scent really works!

4. I will brush my teeth with the bristle end of the brush. Check, no more bleeding gums.

5. Assure my lawyer that I will never again show up drunk at my DUI hearing. *hic*

6. I resolve to work with neglected children -- my own. Doing much better, but still a little forgetful around their birthdays.

7. I will stop sending e-mail, ICQ, Instant Messages and be on the phone at the same time with the same person. Damnit, this one is tough!

8. I will spend less than one hour a day on the Internet. This, of course, will be hard -- I'm not a clock watcher. I am screwed.

9. I will read the manual... no more throwing it out the window. Check, I remedied this one by not buying any new software.

10. I will think of a password other than "password." Check, a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y

11. I will not tell the same old story at every get-together -- boring. Check, I've stopped going to get-togethers all together.

12. I will stop considering other people's feelings when they so obviously don't consider mine. Check, I've become a hermit.

13. I will be more imaginative. Still, a work in progress.

PeeWee Makes His Return

Look who's back! Why it's none other than PeeWee Herman. His recent appearance on Jay Leno - donning his bow tie and white wingtips - was a pleasant surprise for all his fans. PeeWee proudly showed off his abstinence ring. Although his commitment was only two days old, hopefully this will keep Peewee from showing his wee-wee in public. It was in 1991 when he was arrested for exposing himself in an adult theater.

Look for his return to the stage this November along with Miss Yvonne and Jambi, the genie in the box.
