First off, Happy Birthday
abigail89, you sweetie, you!
Second, it was ABOVE FREEZING today! And sunny! Glorious. I went on a nice long run at Sharon Woods (the kids were still sledding down the big hill in back), washed my car, and shoveled the blackened crud from the carport.
Wooooooooooo. At this point, the little things mean so much, eh?
Third, next Saturday is the Big Ride. Not sure how to taper for a...three-hour indoor bike ride? Should I take a complete rest day on Friday? Hm.
Took care of my niece Natalie on Saturday evening. She's getting to the fun stage (she just turned 3) where she can tell you what she wants/needs and is independent enough to do things like potty on her own.
We played with her Play-Doh Ice Cream Parlor, played Scooby-Doo, danced, did some puzzles, had some Oreos, and watched Princess Bride (which she loves, because there are GIANT RATS THAT TRY TO EAT WESLEY). I was castigated for my use of the word "butt", watched SpongeBob SquarePants and explained why Princess Buttercup is a big ninny.
The kid LOVES violence, the more, the better. I never thought Thomas the Tank Engine was as terrifying as it comes across in the storybooks!
Natalie also pooped in the bathtub. I think she was trying to impress Mr. K with her superior tooting skills. Yeah. And she gave us both little colds.
She's cute, but maaaaan. No thanks.
On the other hand, my second-oldest niece is moving to Italy with her family tomorrow. The fact that she and the kids are getting out of the South thrills me to no end. Too bad she can't get away from the military wives, but you can't get everything you wish for.
Hit the scene Saturday night to catch up with old friends and listen to some mediocre music at the local dive bar. Good times.
Hit the pavement tonight leaving the Lodge, forgetting the physical state phases of water. Ouchies.
Also, REPUBLICANS! Hold up your hands! The trickle-down is coming, just like Mr. Reagan promised! Keep 'em high, the money will fall from the sky, like he said. 'S right.
Okay, now that those grabby fingers are otherwise occupied, the rest of us can get to WORK and fix this shizz.
Night, all. :)
