Upside Down

I just worked my last weekend for the summer. We had our Christmas in July party Saturday night. It was a good time. My partner and I were the first ones out in the water balloon toss. The water balloon exploded on me. I won the "Best Dish Washer" award because I'm fast. It was nice to be recognized. I have a certificate and a plastic medal to show for it. We had the party outside. Woody's is next door to a bowling alley. I saw a car pull into the bowling alley and thought I knew the people inside so I stared until they got out. When they were out of the vehicle I saw that I did in fact know them. They were friends of my older cousin. I waved and they came over and we chatted. They were both a little out of sorts. They invited me in to go bowling with them, even though I had no money. I said goodbye to the party, which was about to break up any way and went bowling. I hadn't seen these boys in over a year. It was fun. I came in second. After that I went home and slept. It doesn't feel like I'm single again. I think it's because I wanted it this time. The other day I was looking out the window and my heart began to flutter at a handsome trash collector and I realized that it is perfectly ok for me to lust after him. I don't have to feel guilty. So, naturally, I did what any girl in my place would do and ran out there and jumped him in the street professing my undying love for him.

It brings tears to my eyes

My boys are playing Oregon Trail and loving it! It's so great to see them enjoying a game that I played and loved when I was their age. Their game cube got fried when the power flicked at their house yesterday so I thought this was a perfect opportunity to introduce them to Oregon Trail. They have been playing for about 3 hours now. They love hunting and fishing. It's good for them because it forces them to read and they learn history. They are playing their first game by themselves right now. I think they keep saying how they are starving to death so they probably didn't buy any food. I guess since they are boys they are not that concerned with shopping. I used to sit there and shop for hours, guessing what my people might need and want for the trip. They are even using their imaginations to think up what their people are doing on the trip like I used to do. They have brought their two cousins and their parents along with them. I always brought my cousins, and whoever I had a crush on at the time. Time to go to the park now! They must be fed up with starving.
