Highlights and Lowlights...

This weekend was quite eventful, full of lots of little joys and spills. Here are the highs and lows:

Top Highs:

1. Eating delectable, fully ripe, juicy peaches like I was a little girl again. That is, allowing the sticky, fragrant juice to not only slobber down my chin, but also letting it squirt everywhere. (They were that good!)

2. Going to my husband's work party where we played with dinosaurs and ran barefoot through the trees with our little girls.

3. Getting the funky smell out of my girls' room. I don't know what it was, but it is gone!

4. Not ending the weekend with 2 black eyes, nor scaring small children and only resembling a blow fish for a couple of days verses for a whole week.

5. Being reminded of how cool and collected my husband is during times of crisis. I was reminded of this as I was overcome with an overactivated histamine response.

Lowest Lows:

1. Having an ugly allergic reaction to eating BBQ, watching my face swell up and revealing my scary, monster face to the public. Luckily, my public have great senses of humor!

2. Watching the poor animals at a petting zoo drone on and on in the heat for hours for the sake of entertaining humans. I've decided I am morally opposed to displays where an animal can't even stand still to go to the bathroom!

Actually, that's it. I had a pretty super weekend...except for the resembling a blow fish part and the poor little ponies. (sigh)

Considering your past few days, I'm inspired that you have more on your high list than your low list! That's true optimism. :) I had to go get some of those peaches. So good! And oh, that strawberry fruit leather you made certainly is on my high list for the day. Man oh man, yummy.
