Lots of fun to be had this weekend. We kept one of the redhead's kids while she went to her high school reunion and Sheniah absolutley loved it.

The doctor recommended drenching Sheniah's hair in mayonaise and then covering it with a swim cap and leave it on for the night. Well, we did it, and Sheniah was NOT happy about it but cooperated just fine. And after thorough ( Read more... )

I made an appointment to get my tattoo colored in, the Celtic cross. I showed up a bit early, and he was busy with another women so I waited. And waited. And waited. An hour went by, he's still busy, and hasn't said anything to me. So I left, I'll call back tomorow and reschedule ( Read more... )
