pancakes, galore

I made pancakes this morning. What's that you say... ? "That's not so hard!" Well, they weren't your ordinary pancakes....
Connor requested that his pancakes be Spiderman pancakes and Marleigh requested Dora the Explorer pancakes (she said she wanted her to wear shoes, too -- I think relating the fact that Marleigh has Dora tennis shoes to her pancakes, or something... not really sure WHAT that was about).
Somehow, I miraculously pulled the job off. Both children were content with their pancakes.... even though they didn't even remotely look like Spiderman, or Dora.... More like, a polar bear, and an alien. But, hey -- the kids were happy!

Tomorrow is Chris's division picnic, complete with dunk tank, kegs, margarita machines, moon bounce, etc. It should be fun. This will be the first year that I've attended... I'm looking forward to meeting all the of people that my husband works with, since I haven't had the opportunity to attend a single Christmas party (except for the one where we met, although I wasn't exactly attending -- I was bartending), picnic, anything really... we joined a few of his colleagues on a trip to Atlantic City last year, but really -- I have only been introduced to a handful of people. It seems as if I've always got something conflicting when their functions are scheduled (it used to be WORK!). And, of course -- it's supposed to rain tomorrow. Cross your fingers that the nasty weather holds off.

Saturday, I'll be training at Lords and Ladies for the morning/afternoon... I'm not really sure how long I'll be there, or what exactly training will consist of. I know, I know -- a receptionist position... how hard can it be? It's a salon on a Saturday though.... pretty busy, that's fer sure. I am stoked to start there... the discounts are gonna be fabulous.
Then Saturday evening, Amy is hosting an evening of girlie fun at her place, where we will enjoy a few yummy munchies, and I'm sure loads of wine/cocktails, and the like. I think another kitchen pass may be in order.

Speaking of kitchen, I should attend to mine and clean up the mess that the Spiderman/Dora pancakes left behind...

I'm glad that I could be of service in the form of weak entertainment for the 4.6 minutes it took for you to read the pointlessness above.... Happy Hump Day!
