It was crazzzzzy packed and not everyone who won tickets was allowed in, cause the space was farrr too small! But it was still a fun time (even though we left early).
Hmmm what else? Oh we put up a pool! Not a real inground or above ground one but one of those that inflate. This one is hardcore! its 25ft diameter and gets 4ft deep....thats a good enough pool for me!! Ohh good story.... so we set the pool up on last friday and it took all day saturday and sunday and part of monday to fill. Well i was out looking at the pool on monday and there was this little plug thing on the bottom of the outside of the pool. So i nudged it with my toe... then poked it... then water started POURING out of it. Mind you it was probably in the 50's that day. So water is pouring out of the poool and im freaking out because i didnt know how to go about fixing it. Then it dawned on me: I'm gonna have to fix it by getting into the pool. crap. So cursing my curiosity on the darn plug I ran into the house to throw on my bathing suit and grab a towl and my robe and ran back down to the pool. Now by monday the pool was pretty well full so it was about 3ft deep and we hadnt quite gotten the ladder nor a solar cover to warm the water! SO now i had to figure out how the heck i was going to get into this freezing cold pool!! With a moment of genious I grabbed 2 plastic deck chairs and put one in the pool and the other outide and stepped from one to the other inorder to climb in. HOLY COLDNESS!! so now im in the pool and realize 3ft is longer than my arm length and homegirl is NOT going under the water! luckily all i had to do was push the plug and i was able to do that with my foot. Thank God for strong toes! Now it still has a small bit of water coming out of the plug cause i couldnt shut it all the way but that should do for now and im not worried that it will drain out the entire pool!
Anything else new? I went to florida with mom! Dad took pity on my state of employment and blessed me with the flight! Mom and i had a great time! It was nice and warm all week and although it rained every day (only for about 1hr or in the evenings) we were able to score some serious sun tans! This was my view from the lounge chair by the pool:
Ohh alfie and i had our first major picnic of the summer!! it was great. we had about 30-40 ppl come through at some point during the day. it was memorial weekend and i think we are going to plan it annually! should be a lot of fun... but now that we got the pool set up maybe we will do an end of summer luau! that should be a fun time! As you can see this tryke was a hit! I think everyone (even mom) took a ride on it!
I think those have been the highlights so far! But we have a fun summer coming up with weddings and camping and get togethers with friends! hopefully i will remember to blog more. Tomorrow is wedding #1 of the 3 we have from summer through to fall.
A pic of me and my girls....here is to a great summer!
