Time for an update...i actually went and did a thing, so, something more interesting than usual.
I left the house at noon, to arrive at my very best friends' HB home for her daughter's 5th Birthday party today. I was greeted by the Pretty Pony theme, bouncy pink castle jumper in the driveway, a girly-girl party, and it almost was going to be routine, but this one had a pinata. (Oh the fun!). I'm very fond of pinatas, mostly for the sheer entertainment and hideous danger of the entire process; Also like the funny home videos that usually spring from the violent gaiety. That must make me a sadist. Bummer.
Now, there weren't any accidents, although the tension was thick; no jabbing or pokings, no frantic swaying of the crowd away from the blindfolded child, but that's okay. What made up for it was that the "Cindy Lou Hoo" of the entire bunch, a waifish, big blue eyed darling, a bit under 3 feet tall, was jumping up and down, fist clenched as she shook it at the offending pony, just like an experienced holligan, screaming in her tiny, firm voice "KILL THE PONY, kill the pony, hit it! ".
And when this little mite took up that stick, she was all business, and that business was pony killing. She didn't break it open, but i'm pretty sure she dumped a lot of aggression, and will sleep well tonight.
That was the best part, That, and opening presents.

By the way-- I got a friend to join, so please drop by
elements journal and show him some SG love...he's all sorts of fun.

When you talked about our arboretum I had no idea what you were talking about. Then I investigated and discovered, hey, we have like a whole forest in back.

Hi! GOod to hear from you. Well, I haven't been doing much of the real estate thing at all. I've been really busy with the band and other things, but I suppose I should get going with it. I need to make more $$$$$!!!!
