The last couple of weeks have flown by. Our friend, Andrew, came down to visit from Seattle. He's a good sport, a single guy hanging out with his married with children friends. We took him to Papago park and we trekked up to Hunt's tomb and climbed up Hole-in-the Rock. Grumpy carried Little Bear all the way to the top and I carried Duck. It was hot that day too, I was melting.
The next day Grumpy had to work so Andrew and I decided to take a little road trip. The best part was that we took my two kids and the two kids I babysit for a couple of times a week. We drove out past Canyon Lake, man was it wonderful to see a body of water again, to Tortilla Flat which is a cute little ghost town. We wandered around for a bit with everyone staring at us. We had a kid in a stroller, a kid in a wheelchair and two other little demons running amok. I'm sure everyone was thinking - get a vasectomy already dude! I wanted to say "we're not married and these aren't our kids" but I thought that might get us arrested or something. Best to let everyone think we are freaky mormom procreators extraordinaire.
We took him out to eat to our favorite German Restaurant one night and then next night I had the pleasure of eating dinner and watching Conan the Barbarian with all the boys.
Saturday night, Grumpy and I went out with his sister and her hubby to watch my brother-in-law perform in his first drag show. He was awesome. He makes a really pretty woman, bitch! It was weird because the bar used to be a shit kicker bar and I remember going there once for Karaoke about 9 nine years ago. I like it much, much better as a gay bar. HOT bartneders. I did have one lady who thought I was a dish. I was very flattered and she was really cool, so all in all, a really great night.
On sunday, we had a birthday party for the Little Duck. I can't believe he'll be one tomorrow. Holy shit! he's got eight teeth and he can walk just holding your finger. Nana got him a duck cake and she rented the bouce house again and we all bounced until we could bounce no more. I even took Duck in a couple of times and after he got over his initial fear he laughed himself silly.
I just finished the book Wicked. I don't know how they made a musical out of it. I don't think I liked it but I need to think about it for a couple of days. I will say it gave me freaky, freaky dreams.
I also watched The Departed last night. Yes, I know I am way behind the times but hot damn it was goooooood. Wow.
And if you haven't heard poor Meloknee got hit by a car while riding her bike in Seattle. She got really busted up and has to have her jaw wired shut for the next 4-6 weeks. Send her some loving thoughts.
I know I am forgetting to tell you something important or hysterically funny that happened in the last week but I have forgotten what it is so this is what you get stuck with, sorry.
