Okay, I didn't plan on posting today, but there are a couple of things to touch on. I came across this shrimp recipe that is EZPZ and I had to share it with you. The lovely thing about it -- unless you're grilling the shrimp in your kitchen -- no extra heat in the house. So if you're like most of melting America ... you'll appreciate it!

Secondly to Pam at Sidewalk Shoes thanks for the GL with the deadly handsome man, we'll see how it goes. Don't know how I can post about it, as I've given him this link ... I may have to give the info on the DL! Ya know?

Finally, Congratulations to Ryan, Cole and LB on the birth of their baby girl!!!

Like I said, I didn't plan on doing a proper post ... but since I am ... let's do it up right!!!

Funny: Sorry Guys
A little known fact ....

The first testicular guard "Cup" was used in Hockey in 1874 and
the first helmet was used in 1974.

It took 100 years for men to realize that the brain is also important.
