The epic fail was in agreeing to do something then flaking. I hate when I do that. But I had no elegant way of taking my friend who was in town to this event. So I just bailed.
And then rewarded myself with a delicious breakfast.
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

I love that I have keys to loads of neighbors' houses. And they are all willing to help with Bartleby whenever.
As I was helping out in the Monkey's Uncle today, lots for friends and neighbors called out and waved as they passed the store, or came in to howdy. It made helping the fellows out even more fun.
One couple came in looking for maternity clothes. The wife said, "Oh, Hi Doggy Lama!" The husband came in later and did the same.
I'm ashamed to say I would not have known them from the next guy...especially since they saw briefly at an event last JULY!!
How do people do that?

Because books.
I think you did the smart thing, Kat. And the yummy and friendy one.
What's TBI, sara?

Amy, I'm pretty sure that stands for Traumatic Brain Injury.
I walked over 27 miles this week.Wow, Shrift. Impressive!

Traumatic brain injury.
Marathon plus, shrift!

Ah! I knew there was something I wasn't getting, and from your first post all I could think was "Total Boundary Issues." Which I assumed was wrong!
That's a lot of walking for someone not operating at 100%, shrift.

Also today got a pedicure long needed (given the way she went to town on my toes and how much better they feel,) Target and a full 2 mile uninterrupted swim, plus 300 yd cooldown. And laundry. Just in case I wonder why I'm tired.

I've been going to the gym after work and walking for an entire Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! podcast. I'm hoping it'll help lower my cholesterol. If I ever get healthy again, I may even try running.
And now I'm eating baked salmon and asparagus with lemon butter.

I know why I'm tired (K was out of town for 3 days so I was the only Mom). I think I'll have my swig of codeine and go read.
After I make water bottle and soda bottle labels for the party. WTF is wrong with me?
For the car themed party, I have a picture of a (I think) radiator gauge. With "Keep It Cool" and "Bottled Water". For the soda bottles I have a fuel-gauge so I'm putting something like "Fuel Up" and then the name of the soda.
