The Best Day Ever

Saturday, July 18th, was the Spongebob Day of Happiness at our local Borders bookstore. I didn't know about it before I got there, but, lucky me, I promised my son I would take him to get a new Calvin and Hobbes book if he completed certain chores for me, so we didn't miss it.

We were there for about an hour, just browsing, and the whole time we were there, they had the soundtrack for The Spongebob Squarepants Movie playing. Fortunately for me, my kids love Spongebob, so I have that soundtrack memorized and found myself singing along quite a few times. I got a few strange looks, but whatever. And now I've had The Best Day Ever in my head ever since then and thought I'd share it with all of you. Don't you feel special? Don't worry. It'll be gone tomorrow.

So, why is it the best day ever? Today is the first day of school, I don't have to go to work, and I am completely and utterly alone. Seven hours of uninterrupted writing time. Yeah, I know. Totally awesome!

Guess I'll go check out some blogs. ;D

Sorry, folks. I sent Spongebob home. No more singing today. It's unnatural for anyone to be that happy. Seriously.
