Yay beach!
I read the Us magazine, cleaned the BBQ, and am halfway through cleaning the bathroom. Rock!
I went to the Disney Studios for lunch with GF (she's working over there). It was fun to walk around and we shopped in their store, which has exclusive stuff. GF picked up an exclusive Ratatouille (sp?) pin and I got my niece a Disneyland version of Candyland for her upcoming birthday. It was a nice way to spend the lunch hour.
I think I can call last night's party our best 4th ever, because we had enough sparklers that the bucket of water we used to hold the burnt-out sparklers caught on fire. All the sparkler sticks started merrily burning away.
It was a really fabulous party.
And we did catch the water bucket on fire. There was pyro glee.
Cass was standing across from me over the burning water bucket, cackling delightedly.
Because we caught water on fire. On. Fire. It was fantastic!
Home, have rescued both cats from the cattery.
And Puppycat got a manicure. They'd forgotten but did it before I took them home. Less bleeding for me!
Ah, there's Cass. I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you.
P.S.
LOOM.
So jealous of pyro 4th goodness!
I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you.
I was in fear of LOOM. And rightly so.
Yes, this was probably our best ever 4th of July bash. We had approximately 50 people and were able to feed and entertain them easily.
Most everyone left with full bellies and REALLY big smiles. It was a very good vibe.
It was really a lovely and very fun party.
And the groupings of people were constantly readjusting and flowing too. There were a lot of people I didn't get to see enough, but only because there were Just So Many People.
Then we caught the water bucket on fire. Good times... I am craving cherries too. If I hadn't missed my cats, I might never have wanted to leave.
How's Trin?
I'm home, and I seem to be sick.
Timelies. Just skipped a zillion posts. ~ma to whoever needs any.
I got an A in my sign class! (And, um, got a little upset at myself that I just got 90%, and some of my classmates got higher. But I realized that this was an incredibly dumb thing to be upset about.) Then I stopped at the Gallaudet bookstore and got a bunch of "Baby's First Signs" board books for the three baby showers I'm going to in the next month. (Some of the baby sign books were kind of boring-looking, but I found one series of really cute ones.) I'm kind of sad about class ending -- this class was a lot of fun. But, I'm taking ASL II in the fall.
Then, worked on some of my research for a little while. Ended up with a couple of kind of neat ideas, but nothing that's quite working out yet. But, it's a direction, which is more than I had before.
