a huge police horse trailer parked across a moment ago and the horses are getting a march around the park. The neighbourhood kids as well as Jessie begging me to take her out so we raced out the park to go a see them. They got a bigger reception that the ice cream van!

plus I like hearing the clippety clop of the horses around the park ;D

But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

Don't know if it's a pleasure...but it was unexpected...

Just discovered a wee girl named 'Kirsti' in southern Utah.  I was sure that my Kirsty was the only one!  She's 10 now, and we've only run across one other Kirsty in Utah ever.  It was at an amusement park, and confused the heck out of all of us when a woman we didn't know started shouting "Kirsty!!!"

Successfully taking my sons crib apart, and putting it back together as a toddler bed, without any help from anyone, and despite having lousy intructions. ;D I only made one mistake, which was easily fixable, and only hurt myself once, (stabbed myself in the back with a piece of wood.)

Getting a package in the post from my cousin, who's more like a friend.  It was full of goodies and souvenirs from her recent trip to Alaska and Montana.

Not really unexpected, but I'm in Atlanta, and today I went to a Brazilian Bakery for breakfast, then we went to a British Shop. After that we ate Chicago style pizza and went to store that sold stuff from Asia. (I miss living in a big city!!!)

what's that they say....fish and visitors stink in three days?????

The worst houseguest experience I ever had, I was nearing the end of a pregnancy, my husband was working wierd hours and to use the car during the day, I had to get up at 4am and go with him and then return- 1 hr. journey.  Then, my friend turned out to not be able to eat cheese, ground beef, tomatoes and eggs!  We were on a very limited budget at the time.  Plus my husband likes to eat all of those things.  Between the two of them and a two year old- I was wishing I would go into labor just so I could get away from them all......

anyway, unexpected pleasure- no houseguests for another four weeks!
