Fantastical…
What a splendidly eventful weekend. I came home on Thursday night (after receiving my AirPort Express – my new favourite gadget of all time) and settled in at home for a weekend of nothing but celebration. Friday was spent being busy with Nate’s graduation party preparations. There were potatoes to be foiled, chairs to be positioned, streamers to be streamed and all other manner of madness. Saturday was a day of last minute tasks augmented with a visit to my cripple-friend, Lindsie. I filled myself with lemon cake (a new recipe, as Becky reminded me) and then came home for festivities.
Nate’s party was an unmitigated success. The only snafu was my beligerantly drunk grandfather. You’ve not lived completely until you’ve seen a 70 year old chasing somebody down in an effort to retrieve his keys, spilling a red plastic cup of beer all the way. Dear lord…where is the mind’s erase function? I was graced with a long visit between myself, Barbara Flora and not one but TWO of her sisters. And, I ate like a motherfucker…delicious deliciousness filled the garage.
Following the party (well, my stint at it, anyway) I met up with H to the oovah and drove to Dusty’s for his 22nd birthday party. It was a 70s themed evening, but I hadn’t dressed up. Which was okay, considering Mandy went beyond all out. Skinny trollop. Things were great and many a photo was snapped by a shutter-obsessed host. Perhaps he’ll even be posting said photos soon? Hmm? The only problem with the party was when I decided that Sonya and I needed to break into the Jehovah’s Witness church. And we couldn’t get to it by road…oh, no…we had to go through the wooded embankment. My legs and feet wear the scars (broken digits?!) of a tumbling entrance back into the party grounds. Ooops. I did, however, thoroughly destroy Ms. Trackstar on all fronts of running.
With my entire hungover family, I attended Seth and Katie’s combined birthday party before driving back, frantically shopping and obsessively cleaning. It was a major push to the finish but by 7:30, I was entirely ready for the arrival of my aunt, who is here now. Thus, my week is begun and I’m not even lonely. Wee!
