My daughter doesn't just have friends. She only has best friends. And we are having a sleep over slash late birthday party for her Friday and she wanted to remind me that she wanted ALL her best friends there and why didn't I invite so and so and why didn't I ask so and so.... *sigh* Because YOU little missy didn't get all your bestest friend's in the world phone numbers.
If I can't keep track of her best friends now- how can I keep track of her best friends when she's a teenager?
Now she's asking me to have a tea party with actual tea. She says she tried a little today and it tasted kind of good. Now she is going to play a game... and wow I thought I was random. .2 seconds later she's off to something else.

weeds
So we have all these weeds on the side of the house. I've been working periodically all summer pulling them (and as punishment for fighting or hitting the children have pulled some, too). A few weeks ago I asked Kirby to get some particular hard to pull ones. Well like I said that was a few weeks ago... They've gotten quite thick now. They were some ragweed and other ones I don't know what they are, but they were just too big. One behind the air conditioner has this really tall thick stalk. Turned out it is a sunflower! My favorite weed of all.
I don't know how we got a sunflower there, last year we didn't have any weeds- this is in our rock garden. Weird.

Yay! 100th Post
That is on THIS blog! I don't know how many total... Someday I will add them up, although blogspot does keep a good record for me, I'm just too lazy to add them.
Anyway I have had a fantabulous weekend. My daughter turned 17, okay not really. Just 7 on Friday, but you'd never guess it was only 7. She is definitely a character in my life that I don't ever know what I did before she came along!
So she wanted to get her bangs cut because her hair in her eyes. Okay. The way her hair parts we always get them angled. She wasn't sure if she liked them so the lady told me to have her sleep on them (not literally) and if she wasn't sure in the morning we could get them fixed.
Conclusion- all her best friends (she doesn't have regular friends, only best friends) have their bands straight across so she wanted hers straight across. So we had to give into peer pressure and do what all her best friends have. She kept looking in the mirror to see if they were straight across and straightening them out.
On the way to her dad's she kept asking me over and over if they were straight. I had to tell her, yes they're cut straight, but her hair isn't plastic so it's going to move around sometimes so it isn't always going to stick in the exact places. With that said- she fixed them in the side view mirror of the car, clamped her hands on top of her head, and ran up the porch to her dad's house. She wanted to be sure the wind wasn't going to mess them up.

Chessex
I am just so excited because I am going to be the servicing agent for this account!! They showed me their new colors and everything and are going to be in GenCon. My contact told me to be sure to stop by and get a photo with her. I told her I wouldn't be very professional because I'd be all nerded up. I am going to get my photo taken with them! What an awesome first account to have set up!
Wow what a nerd I am, but what can I say? I love my dice.

karma / cat drool
Cat drool is last 2 paragraphs if you want to skip to that.
I really want to have the kids on an upcoming weekend to see some extended family but I'm sure my ex will say no. So I'm not even going to bother asking. I was in mid text when I realized it was a moot point. I thought the worst is the answer will be no, but I already know the answer is no.
Oh well, there will be other trips we can take. I was just letting hot air out so I don't want to hear about "karma" because it's the kids that are missing out, not me. That is the line that is pulled on me all the time. ...and yes, I'm arguing with no one.
Kirby's truck died and we had to upgrade to a mini van. It is really cute, but more importantly we can travel normally (and not crunched). It was quite a bit to fit 6 of us in his truck! Those kids are growing! Plus I was scared it was going to fall apart on the road and we'd have to flintstone it or something crazy!
Anyway, I came home from work and was laying on the bed chatting away petting my old cat who was on my belly and he shook his head and drool went flinging everywhere... I mean everywhere- like in my mouth. It was gross. I wiped it out, but I could still feel where it landed. Then Kirby kissed me and I thought that was like Frenching the cat because after his kiss I didn't feel the drool spot so much anymore.
I remember once when Garry was laying next to his head and drool dripped in his ear. He didn't like that much.
