Winner!
Kisha, you are a winner! A second place winner, but a winner none-the-less.
We went to our apartment complex Halloween party tonight and Erik got second place for his Swiper the Fox costume. First place went to a cute little toddler dressed in a Disney store Tinkerbell costume. Since when do store bought costumes get first place? We were robbed!
The people planning the party clearly had no children old enough to watch children’s programming. The third place winner was “Sesame Street Fairy” better known as Abby Cadabby to those of us in the know. Oh how I wish I wasn’t in the know.
Most of the party goers were aged five or under and they were HIGHLY impressed with Erik’s costume, though some of the little ones were terrified of him and tried to hide. I guess that’s what Halloween is all about, right? No blood letting required–just one wily fox.
Other than that, we’ve had a pretty dull day. We had a reservation for the play room at the library, so I had a rant all worked up about that. I got there right on time, but the woman before me wasn’t paying any attention to the clock. She was clearly a day care provider. She had three girls in the room, not paying any attention at all. She was standing outside the door, gossiping to some other woman. Eventually the librarian realized that she wasn’t going to come out, so she went and told her that time was up. Normally the librarians do a very thorough check of the play room and berate you if everything is not in order. This librarian just told the lady to let me in after she was done, so we lost ten minutes of our play time and the room didn’t get cleaned.
When I went to check out, a different librarian was on duty. She came in and did the thorough inspection and totally yelled at me for not having every single toy in the proper place. I put away all the toys we touched and several items that we didn’t, but I missed a few things because WE NEVER PLAYED WITH THEM. I kept telling her but she didn’t care. Grrrrrrr. I was in no mood to play the part of docile damsel so I stood my ground and told her that it wasn’t my fault the other librarian didn’t do an inspection.
I’m feeling kind of feisty lately.
Does anyone else get the Magic Cabin catalog? I have no idea why I am on their mailing list because no matter how green and idealistic I pretend to be, I’m not paying German Waldorf prices for toys. This catalog is so strange. Instead of photos, they use paintings/drawings of all the products. I am so confused. Doesn’t that take an eternity and cost a small fortune?
Hmmmmm. I just looked through it again to make sure I’m not talking about of my ass and I think perhaps they start with photos and then use some kind of filter to render them into looking like drawings. Maybe. I don’t know. It’s creepy! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I would really like a piece of kladdkaka right now. Who am I kidding? I would like half a kladdkaka right now. It’s a little late to think about baking, so maybe I’ll just go brush my teeth and pretend to play Guitar Hero. I can use Erik’s Elmo guitar and blast some country music through the house. It will almost be like the real thing, only I won’t be insulted by the off key clunks that mean you miss a note.
I never did get an order confirmation or shipping notice about our Wii so I was worried that the order didn’t go through. I just checked and it says it shipped and is scheduled for delivery on Monday!
