Quick update:
We’re back from Erie. My god, it seems so huge now.
Heard the story about someone getting Melissa drunk and trying to get get her to eat ham (a.k.a. “slip her some meat” as I so gracefully put it). Helped ron become a complete man (*ahem*). Made Kim’s mind spin w/ how fast Michael and I would talk (plus: mmmm cheesecake pops). Got handmade crocheted fingerless gloves from Brandy (will photo & share w/ long version entry). Met Emma & did much coveting. Returned with one tree & will return for more possibly in fall.
Went to zoo. Saw zebras, penguins, red pandas, lion and more. Rode zoo train. Bought lotsa stuff at mall (high-heeled Crocs!), bookstore, Campbell Pottery, etc. Sold one house. Am no longer technically an Erieite; am now official Erieite emeritus. Still in love with Erie. *sigh*
I have lots of photos from the zoo & otherise but I haven’t unpacked the camera yet. I will however share a fun story from Max & Erma’s last night.
I was wearing my awesome new V-neck Eddie Bauer dress, complete with fantastic new bra that makes The Girls look perky and fantastic. So Holden was acting naughty, trying to get out of the booster, etc. He got on my lap and started bouncing his face off my boobs (if you’re familiar w/ kids, you’ll know about the “bouncing one’s face off stuff” thing).
So there are two youngish guys in the booth off to my left and they’re entertained by Holden’s antics. I hear the one guy say (in a low voice), “Look, he’s bouncing his face off her tits.”
The second guy says, “Can you blame him?”
Both laugh.
Second guy adds, “‘Cause that’s what I’d be doing.”
I love Erie.

It really was a blast meeting you! I say every meet-up that I’m going to bring a Michael interpreter with me … or that listening to him talk is like my Jack Russell personified, lol! I don’t always follow the conversation but I seem to pick up at just the right time (or would that be the wrong time – harness anyone? *giggles*)

From the Target dollar spot. $1 each
Not just any harness but “Mommy’s Helper” harness

It was great finally getting to meet you…but kind of weird. I was meeting you for the first time, but felt like I’d known you forever.

Eden, It was a blast meeting you and Hawk and the kidlets. Sorry I couldn’t stay longer, I really wanted to. Glad you sold the house, it should be our turn next (we hope).

“Slippin her the meat” sounds like a really good title for a vegetarian porn.
I’m writing that one down.
