Not Sunburnt
Today was the Capital Ex Parade and I somehow I got myself roped into getting up at an ungodly hour of the morning to go hang out with the Knights and ride on the Scandanavian float. And, the big exciting part of all this that justifies a blog post - I didn't sunburn myself!! I'm so proud. I'd like thank the Academy....
Actually, seriously, I have my mother to thank/blame for the fact that when I go to events like this, I end up taking a bag with me containing sunscreen, insect repellent, snacks, water, things to amuse the children, kleenex, and basically anything else you could end up needing. I can't decide whether to say she trained me well or she brainwashed me well. In all honesty though, I'm proud of my ability to be prepared for things. It's nice not to have to stress during events and it makes you look pretty cool to the unorganized people. And I only had to forcibly apply to sunscreen to two or three people, so I figure it was a good day. Long, but good. Anyways, here are some photos to check out and, I promise, the photos from Alyssa's visit are coming soon. There were just a lot more of them to process. Hopefully I'll get those up sometime this weekend. Somewhere in between the belly dancing workshop, going to see Clerks 2 with Mike, the Ascension game, babysitting, and marrying Lisette off to Tall, Dark and Evil.
My life is never boring. Mundane, yes; boring, no.

Sometimes its good to have a mother who taught one to be practical. :)

OH MY GOD IT WAS YOU!!!! A bunch of us skived off work to go watch, and I saw you on the float! I was going "naaaah, it wasn't Jeanne, she's not Scandinavian enough to be on that." But it WAS! Glee.

Scandanavian, no not so much. Willing to fake it by wearing a pretty dress and smiling and waving, why yes, yes indeed. I'm so thrilled you saw it - I wish I'd seen you in the crowd. Honestly it was mostly a blur though. A very hot, very sweaty blur. My body does not agree with this whole 30+ degree weather. Blech.

I was by the hot, hot firefighters, round about 108 Sreet. Maybe this means that the other two people I "recognized" were actually people I know, too! Exciting days!
