Well, dear readers, I woke up with a headache and flashes of scenes from my dad’s 60th party last night. I guess I was a bit more tipsy than I thought. I called my brother. Today is his birthday. After serenading him with my children singing and dogs howling, we reminisced about the previous night. I said, “I hope I wasn’t acting too buzzed, because, you know, I hope I didn’t embarrass myself.” Oh no, he said, quite the contrary. Turns out I am quite fun. Sometimes my brother knows just the right things to say to me. “My favorite,” he said, “was when you went off about how awesome it was that that guy knew so much about water.” Okay, let me tell you…a really old friend of my dad’s was there and he mentioned something about having to go to work later. I inquired where he worked and- get this – he works at the city water plant. He’s worked there 36 years! Seriously, I thought it was intriguing. I wanted to know how the water was filtered, if it was reverse osmosis, which by the way it isn’t, and I wanted to know what he thought about the surrounding cities water. You think it’s dull, I’m sure, but I found it interesting. I just remember saying over and over, “imagine the wealth of knowledge about water.” Too funny. Anyway, I just know some of you are dying for more photos of the party and I found a few that I like:
My dad and younger bro
Uncle John. His cup is empty.
The movie star

Opening a b-day present from L(my dd). Note: the bag was a barbie b-day bag! Too cute!
That’s it.
So, today I stayed home for most of the day, cleaning. I even cleaned L’s room. I mean, I was so motivated you’d never had known I woke with a headache! I told L that she needs to keep her room clean. she said, “I prefer it messy.” I am not kidding, she really said that! Later, when I told her she had 10 minutes until time to get ready for bed, she said, “well, that’s still a good amount of time.” Holy schmoley, just how old is she?
I also took Charlie to his very first obedience training at pet smart. Let’s just say, he wasn’t very obedient. He was put on ‘time out’ numerous times. I didn’t even know you could put dogs on time outs. Ha. Well, I came home with a clicker, treats, and notes – homework so we’ll come better behaved next week. L said, “does he love school?” I said, “He loves the other students.”
Anyway, till tomorrow…
