Day 118: April 28 — Royal Tea Party

My co-worker Jennifer is the best. She's totally obsessed with the royal wedding tomorrow, so we she hosted a tea party at work. I was really happy to see everyone play along, since really we're just a bunch of cynical journalists around here.

I loved all the different mugs and tea cups. Mine is the Minnie Mouse mug.

I'm loving that some ladies dressed up.

Jennifer crafted these napkins. Impressive, I think!

Roses everywhere from my garden:)

The prize winners!

Day 116 - April 26 - Hug an Australian Day

This worked out so well for me! Love ya babe;)

Day 115: April 25 - Old habits die hard

Lent was over, and it took me an entire day before diving back into my worst vice.

Day 114: April 24 — Easter feaster

Some last-minute plans on my last-minute day off turned out quite fabulous on Easter morning. Mary and Jason had quite the spread of goodies. Of course, I only took pictures of the ones that were extra sugary:)

She made these puppies from scratch. From SCRATCH!

I'm regretting not eating one of the banana nut muffins. Maybe she'll make them again?

Freaking addicting, these little guys were.

Then it was time to help with wedding stuff. We figured what could go wrong.... a sharp knife, champagne and wine corks that we had to cut through? After a couple slices on our fingers, we decided that a big oven mitt was a smart decision.

End result. Well done, I think.!

Day 113: April 23 — When the going get tough, the tough go shopping

Sometimes retail therapy solves all. In this photo:
• I had to buy two sets of luggage, because I couldn't decide which was Cancun/Europe worthy. The grey one later won.
•Peter got a new pillow. His was nasty.
•Ella, the ginger litter flicker, got a new tall, enclosed litter box. Thank god.
• Engagement party people got kinders bbq sauce that will be in my pulled pork sliders.
•The wedding stock got stuff to make favors.
•Cindy and I got bot pink sparkle coozies - because who doesn't need those?
• And I got a bunch of other crap either seen or not seen here. I felt better at the end of the day though:)

Day 112: April 22 -- back it up

My rental has a hot 2,000 miles on it, which tells me it's pretty new. These new fan dangled cats have the coolest features. Check out the rear view mirror camera. One second it was just a mirror, the next there was a video in it. Craziness.

Day 111: April 21 - Sad little civic

She has served me well for almost 11 years. I bought my civic for $8,000 back in 2000 from a debate teammate. At the time it had 85,000 miles on it and now has about 220,000 miles. Lots and lots of fun trips, that sturdy little car has taken.

Today I wasn't paying enough attention, took my eyes off the road for a second, and the next thing I knew I was slamming into another gal in her 96 Accord. We got a good giggle out of that one, since mine is a 96 civic. I'm must thankful that A) we were both OK and B) she was a good sport about her messed up bumper. I can't stand when people are melodramatic about accidents and throw a big fit.
