Random Thoughts - A Day Early...or a Week Late...
It’s January and just when you thought it couldn’t get any
more depressing, let me say this - it’s a mere 11 more months until
Christmas. Feel better?
We are in the deep freeze at the moment. Yesterday morning, I woke up to it
being minus 27 Celsius or in Fahrenheit that would be….um….somewhere around friggin
chilly.
Speaking of chilly… J got frostbite on his cheeks (not his
ass ones) when he was snow blowing the driveway on the weekend. He was out for only an hour, but the
wind was nasty and hence the only exposed flesh got it. He’s not disfigured or anything, so
no pictures.
It was our nephew’s birthday party on the weekend. It was at the local bowling alley. One would think bowling would keep 7
year old boys entertained – apparently not. Playing hide and seek in plain sight was much more
entertaining. Sometimes, juvenile
boys are just dumb…
Speaking of dumb, my sister-in-law did think it was
necessary to provide the adult guests with beverages, enough food or any forks
for the birthday cake. This
is the second year in a row that forks were not provided. Don’t even get me started on the
food or beverage issue. Next year,
I’m too busy to attend.
I should mention however
that the sister-in-law did think it was a fantastic idea to stock the birthday
goodie bags with whistles and mini rubber balls. Let me say this - seven boys with rubber balls,
whistles and birthday cake icing everywhere do not combine well with the
bowling lanes. Never mind being
busy next year – we won’t be welcomed back to the bowling alley. I’m sure of it…thank God.
What the hell is wrong with the formatting on Blogger? I can't seem to fix the spaces in between my paragraphs. *sigh*

You don't need no stinkin' fork to eat cake. Although, it would probably have come in handy to stab your sister-in-law in the eye.
Thanks for the comment on my blog yesterday...sucks that I may have to plan my own 40th celebration...I may just take the whole flippin day to myself and go somewhere alone...that would be the MOST enjoyable. Sad.
The boys party sounds like um, a lot of fun. LOL!!! I expect I'll have some similar stories in the coming years.
Stay warm!!!
The nice weather here makes it hard to hate winter though. Denver has pretty mild winters overall and I love it!
That birthday party sounded....fun? Haha. I don't get why people bother if they can't plan well or do something that makes sense. Maybe I am too much of a planner but I freak out if I forget anything!
I've had issues with blogger too! Most recently, I couldn't copy and paste within my new posts. Ugh. Oh well.
Happy Tuesday!
You have to blog to have issues with blogger and I ran out of original stuff a while back. I had an idea the other day but sneezed and forgot it. It mustve been really good huh??
Stay Warm.
Kids' birthday parties suck. I hated having to give my kids parties when they were young. Ten screaming little girls hopped up on sugar was not my idea of a good time.
