Over the weekend, Jim and I–along with the sixteen-year-old–volunteered on behalf of the Lacrosse Club at our town’s major end-of-summer festival. We signed up to do two shifts, Saturday AND Sunday from 3-7 p.m. Initially we were supposed to work in the beer tent (well, Jim and I were; the boy was supposed to take tickets elsewhere), but due to some snafu we were switched to Security. Yes, you read that right: Security. Needless to say, I was very excited. On Saturday, we picked up our white “Volunteer” shirts… …and then got our assignment: Crowd Control. Not as exciting as it sounds. You see, we were stationed in the concert…

Cinderella Sarah and Her Tiara
I absolutely love to hear about the way you people out there use your tiaras–real or imaginary. It entertains me to no end. That is why I was so very happy that I checked in on Suburban Rage a few days ago, before a certain post dropped off the page. Not only is there a photo of Sarah wearing her tiara (ha ha, I’m a poet and didn’t know it!), but she gave me a little shout-out as well. This is one of the most tiara-entertaining photos I have ever seen. Check it out by clicking here! (Nice job, Sarah! By the way, who took the photo?)

I Have No Doubt That a Tiara Will Someday Adorn This Girl’s Head.
The 13-year-old went to a pool party on Saturday, and I wanted to share the spunky invite he received for this party, which came via U.S. Postal Service two weeks ago. The bright orange, number 10, Business-sized envelope was addressed with a thin purple marker and many stars, clouds, and curliques covered the empty spaces. After he (remember, young teen BOY) opened the envelope, he unfolded the white copy paper the invite was printed on and read it silently before he tossed it onto the kitchen counter and said, “Hmm. Okay.” I picked it up and was delighted at the wording; reminds me of…well, ME, at that age. Okay, at…

We’re Taking Over.
We watched “Wipeout” tonight and there was a contestant who wore her tiara on top of her helmet in the Qualifier. Just sayin’.

She Nailed It Right On the Head (Narrowly Missing My Tiara)
I got the most adorable card yesterday from my girl Sue, from As Cape Cod Turns. Check it out! She said that she found it and thought of me. Now THAT really warmed my heart. I think about my blogging friends all the time, during all kinds of different circumstances. What about you? Do you do that, too? Naturally when any German reference shows up in front of me, I’m thinking of my evil twin, Kat. The same goes for Australia and my much, much younger bloggy sister, Katie. I think of Melissa whenever I pass a Chili’s, because we will be meeting there in the near future. I think…
