Hot Dog!

July is national hot dog month (or at least that's what Etsybloggers would have us believe.) I chose the hot dog as my blog carnival subject. I began with Wikipedia, curious about the history of the name "hot dog." Seems nobody knows anything for a fact, everyone wants to be the one who came up with that brilliant name.

I believe there is only one thing you need to know when it comes to hot dogs. Costco. 'Nuff said.

Summer in Las Vegas.

I get really really hot and complain about it alot. Then I go into the casino where they are blasting the air, get very cold, and complain about that.

I go to the pool on my day off, in the afternoon, to get out of the heat of my craft room which faces west and is sweltering by 3:00 despite the window film I paid a pretty penny on to keep out some of the heat. Of course I bring projects with me to the pool because as with all seasons, I spend every spare second I can working on my stuff.

I polish my toenails so they can be treated to daylight and fresh air.

I can't set up the gas tank for my BBQ because the place where I have to put my bbq gets no shade and I'm afraid of it bursting. I called the gas company and they said it should have some shade to be on the safe side.

Did I mention I complain about the heat alot???

LazyTCrochet

As much as I seem to love most crafts, I have never felt the yen for knitting or crochet. My mother tried to teach me when I was young and I just didn't take to it. I like to think it was because she is so darned left handed that it made no sense to a righty like me. I imagine there may come a time when I want to give it a go but until then, I will just adore the works of LazyTCrochet, on Etsy and Blogger.
