Busy Busy Weekend
It seems as though the first weekend in August is a popular time for my friends to have kids.
Yesterday, I went to my friend M’s 8 year old son’s birthday party. My god - boys are loud. There were about 12 kids and the same amount of adults. She had this group come and everyone got to pet snakes, snapping turtles, frogs and hold a tarantula.
Yes, I pet all the animals (except the scorpions) and held the tarantula.
It was so fun. I hadn’t been to her son’s birthday party since he was three and loved Bob the Builder. They had a Bob pinata and he was so upset that he was going to have to “hurt” Bob to get the candy. This year’s pinata was a T-Rex and there were no qualms about beating it to hell.
This afternoon I went to S’s daughter’s first birthday. There were about 40 people including an assortment of kids under 4. The birthday girl was given a cake of her own and was soon covered in purple frosting. She didn’t dive into the cake - just took a chilled approach to the eventual devastation.
Now I’m putting together/destroying my home office. I’ve needed a new desk forever but I can’t find one that I like for less that a gillion dollars. I was perusing le Target Shoppe and found long black folding tables - precisely what I was looking for. So the old desk is now in my guest room (or in the doorframe since I didn’t get it pushed in all the way. My computer is all hooked up and I’m happily typing away on my new table. I need another one but that can wait until tomorrow.
Anyhoo…I’d best be getting dinner and start my laundry.
Happy Weekend!
