The Weekend

Greetings readers.My weekend started on Thursday when Grips decided to go on an evening kayak trip and that he wanted some company. Blixx had been up since 4am for work, then had gone biking with Toad, so he was DONE so I got the pass. We went to Buffumville and had a some margaritas as we floated around in the quiet. Ok, the peepers were out of control so it wasn't that quiet but still really relaxing. Neither of us needed a lot of conversation and that was fine with me to just chill and float with a nice drink in hand. Ahhhhhhh.
Friday Cass & I stuck around the house for a while, playing outside in the yard, then went & ran some errands. I finally returned the library books - man, I don't know what my problem is with that! I got paid by the radio station. We then stopped by our friend Tree's house and let the girls play for a while so I could listen to her bitch about mother's day and mothers in general. It was quite the rant. Blixx worked a little late on Friday so Cass requested hash & eggs for dinner - out of the blue, so I was obliged to give in. Besides, I love a good breakfast any time of the day.
Blixx had to work Saturday at Northeastern's graduation, so after being very very very lazy in our pj's all morning, I finally hauled her into the car and we went to the Apple Blossom Festival at Tougas Farm. After threatening to rain all day I finally got sick of waiting and dontcha know, it POURS on the drive over there, to the point where I almost turned around. Glad I stuck it out though because it ended up being beautiful & sunny.

She's a sucker for the petting zoo.

Funny Face! All hopped up on strawberry donuts.

Yesterday Cass & I went to church in the morning, then collected Blixx and headed to Rutland State Park for a family kayak with Grips & the gang. It was a beautiful sunny but cool day, the girls were well behaved. Toad even joined us! It was positively lovely! I took Cass in my boat for the first half, then Blixx had her for the second so I could just sort of drift back to shore. We saw turtles and a water snake so Cass was psyched. Vic even paddled her own boat most of the way & did a great job. Cass wants to be in her own boat so we're thinking that Memorial Day we'll put her in the little boat and tow her behind us & see what happens. My baby is growing up. Now if she'd only shit in the toilet life would be grand.

We went to Ronnie's for fried seafood & ice cream after and it was just about as close to a perfect family day as I can remember.

So I should hold on to that feeling because today Blixx starts a 9 day job where he's got to drive to Manchester NH every day for a 8am start so he's leaving the house at 6:30 which means he'll be up at 5:30 every morning. It's a cooking shoot so the perks should be great, and I'm sending him with a cooler every day to bring me leftovers, but it will be a long hard couple of days.

This week - hmmm, let me see. Today Cass & I are going to do some yard work and I should probably clean out my car - it has exceeded even my expectations for yucky. Oh, and laundry. Lots of laundry. Tomorrow we're meeting some friends to see Mission Impossible 3 at the Mommie movie. Cass won't be interested in the flick, but she'll have her little friend Livvie with her, as well as my buddy BabyGeorge. Cass told me to go to the store and get a BabyGeirge for myself just the other day. It was classic. Almost as good as when I was changing Q and points and yells PEEEEEENIS, then tries to take her own pants off to show him her 'gina. Wednesday I've got Q again for a few hours at least, and I think I'll have my mom come up if she NEEDS to this week. Thursday we have playgroup in the morning then weather permitting, I want to get some friends to take a walk in the woods with us or something in the afternoon. I'm not exactly sure as to what next weekend holds for us, other than Mother's Day.
I can't even think about that right now.
