Riot and Frolic

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

– BIRTHDAY WEEK, so:

– donuts (walked down bright and early to the local place, SugaRush) for breakfast twice.

no tv and no donuts make homer go something something

 

– the cutest card of all time, that I've been saving "for V" for a year and a half.

little red riding hood paper dolls for… me

 

– ridiculous birthday lunch.  Yes, sprinkles.  But yes, carrots, also.

healthy-ish

 

– baby with balloons attached.  I'm not sure why we even got her presents.  Balloons were enough.  This shenanigan kept her giggling for 30 minutes.

it's not quite "up"

 

– baby midget.  Zoo might have turned 2, but if you think her 2T size dress is supposed to be a maxi, you're wrong.

it's not a maxi

maxi? not a maxi

 

– The G and I had a date.  We went to a dance event (a student showcase at the local Arthur Murray) with which we didn't have any professional affliation.  A friend invited us; I think she thought we would say no.  But YES.  It was amazing.  We ate all their food and sat on our butts and watched and cheered for everyone and danced silly together at the breaks in the show.  

– Amazing beer.  Have you NOT been to the Happy Gnome?  Do you like beer?  Do you like food?  Do you like yourself?  Then go.  Because they have the best edibles and drinkables as witnessed by the name of the beer I imbibed: Clown Shoes (wait, it gets better) Porcine (yeah, like a pig) Unidragon (HALF UNICORN, HALF DRAGON).

That's right.  Clown Shoes.  Porcine.  Unidragon.

And corn dogs.  Gourmet freaking corn dogs.  Wild boar sausage coated with corny, peppery crunchiness that you can dip in CREAMY BACON KETCHUP.  Carnivores, delight.

– saw a bunch of fun people and did fun things and the little ladies slept until, like, 7:52am this morning, so SCORE.

Man, stellar week.  How was yours?
