Riot and Frolic

a mostly ballroom dance, but also a bunch of other stuff, blog

–  in two hours: the breadmaker hummin', pizza dough rising, buttermilk pancake batter mixed for the next morning, white sauce for the pizza whipped up, three happy ladies and one productive evening.

– several trips to the "hippo and alligator" playground-park.  I'm not sure why V is so infatuated with this park; she doesn't even play on the hippo and alligator pieces for which the park is named.  One trip included a picnic with the G.  Score!

– sunlight to take a photo of my fun fingers.  You know who liked my mani?

Yes, those are little V's toes.  She sat still for it, so she totally deserves them.

– cakies.  It's a new invention I made accidentally.  I tried to make sugar cookies for the first time.  Late at night.  When I really wanted to eat them. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but they look like cookies and taste like cake.

– my first practice round for ballrooming.  Oh, man.  

– our first trip to the amazing Target Field.  Now I get why people like baseball.  That fence behind us?  That's so no one falls off of the incredibly high, discombobulating "terrace level" onto 7th Street down below.

I don't know how much of the game I watched.  I was too busy trying to figure out where NE was, what cities' water towers I could see, reading all the big screen stats and player fun facts, talking to the drunk fellow next to me, and eating.  Totally fun, though.
