party

Ooooooo I had a party! Let me tell you. It was wonderful. I really live to entertain and make people happy. We had about 34 people over. 9 of them under 10. Friends and all of the family from both sides were there. So much food. Then once it got dark we started a fire and roasted marshmallows. Imagine 6 small children (3-9 respectfully) running around in the dark with long sharp sticks and high on pop and candy. And nobody got hurt. We didn’t have one screaming kid. No fights. It was beautiful. We had bodies over past 1 am then made sure no important food was left out and went to bed. Didn’t wake up until after 12:30 today. I was beat. But it was so good to have everybody over. My parents came down and stayed until 10 or so and Scotts parents stayed way later than they ever have. It was ever so good. But now the trash is picked up & the house seems empty. I really need to have a hobby, other than keeping my house clean.

wheee

wow i have gotten at lot of shit done this week.
rearranged the deck. planted every single empty planter i had with seeds and of course plants. do you know that the dang things have sprouted aready?
started clearing the space between the deck and the fence which it like 15 feet or so and i’m gonna make it into a patio, hopefully before the year is out.
got my fountian done. wormed the cats…ew.
on friday i helped laura move and then went to pirates II with aidan and scott.
then on sat when laura had to go to work aidan and I went up to the folks and played in the river. and i got a damn sunburn with spf 30 on!!
and today i just finished some cornbread and i can’t seem to figure out why it keeps burning the edges. i guess i’ll keep experimenting.

well i am sure there is something that i need to be doing so i should go and find it i suppose…..

sigh

well i gave my notice. thursday is my last day. its a little bittersweet. on one hand i don’t want to be there in its current incarnation. and yet i feel as tho my connection with books will diminish. but i may read more now, so thats cool.

oooo guess what i’m doing friday? i am making pulled pork(smoked then braised), baked beans, homemade potato salad and my special cornbread. all this meal is missing is grits… well i’m off to get some sleep. hope you got some too.
