Friends of Rick

Its "Friends of Rick"  month March 7th is the lizards birthday so all the world CELEBRATES. My amazingly wonderful and very creative sister in law Melanie wrote a song just for the Lizards birthday party.  

So join the fun and sing along and show the lizard you love him. Mama hooters pulled out all the stops and threw the lizard two great parties. A big shout out to all the people that made my birthday so special. A big THANK YOU to Steve and Mo for the great dinner at Roscoes   

The dangerous life of the lounge lizard

 Yes! I'm a man of leisure. Danger is out of the question. I lounge poolside! the most  dangerous thing that could happen is getting sunscreen in my eyes. 

However this last trip to the desert found the lizard in pain. 
I don't climb mountains, I don't sky dive, race mountain bikes. I sit in a lounge chair read magazines and drink coke zero and dip in the hot tub. I'm not a thrill seeker. I purposely live a safe lifestyle to avoid danger. 

I don't like pain! I avoid all unpleasantness. I lounge in the sun and take in the pleasantness of the day. On purpose I carefully avoid look around the pool just to make sure I don't accidentally see people who might be unattractive just to make sure I'm not visually disturb. 

What I'm trying to say is I just want a nice pleasant day,
No drama. Mama hooters and I were spending a few days out in Desert Hot Springs Taking in the therapeutic benefits of the mineral water at the Miracle Springs Resort. This is were the hideous incident happened. 

I stood up quickly from my chair and turned to greet Hooters and as I did I jammed my toes right into the solid pink metal chair next to mine. It was a lovely chair, sturdy and well made. My toes were no match for the "Made in the USA" cast iron chase lounger. 

Its a horror!  The whole toe went black my foot swelled, small children ran from me in fear. The toe was black all the way around and pain ran down the entire foot. The trip was ruined, I couldn't walk. But on a light note my manny peddi I got from the spa the day before never looked better. I digress.

 So a strong word of caution! even the casual laid back lifestyle of the lounge lizard can have its troubled moments. Its not just sunscreen and bad poolside food/drink service you have to be watchful of. 

Yes even the Lizard can have a bad day every now and then. here are some fun pictures of our trip and as always May your life be filled with sweet suntanned cash filled dreams.
