115 Teaparty
Happy Fourth of July!
We found out today that our house marks the parade formation area for the city parade. We woke up this morning with a marching band in our driveway. My friends coming over for the parade were told by the band director to “Just drive through them, they’ll move. And if they don’t, we could stand to lose a few.”
This was the first time we’ve really entertained at our new place. We had the Kickstarter video filming on Tuesday, and a Pikes Peak Skeptics Society potluck on Wednesday. My ninja turtle collection took quite the beating from a rambunctious four year old, so I got to relive my childhood explaining who all the characters are.
Yes, I have the Turtle Van. Because this is America.

WOOHOO! NINJA TURTLES! ROADKILL MARCHING BANDS! ‘MURICA!
Place settings, china, sugar cubes? Oh yeah, she’s pregnant.
Rob might want to carry a little card with phrases like: “Darling, you look so beautiful,” and “Place settings? Oh, what a wonderful mother you’re going to be!” written on it.
Congratulations on moving in to Ground Zero for parades. I used to march in a bear costume for our library in the annual Viking Fest parade every May.
Happy 4th!
“Just drive through them, they’ll move.”
Sounds like the finale of “Animal House”…
Where’s the charger?
You’ve got to have plate chargers!
I’m the worst when it comes to tea parties. I have a paradoxical reaction to caffeine, so it’s kind of like drinking 4Loko*: I just get more and more mellow until my heart is racing quite uncomfortably. At least when it comes to matcha, it’s sufficiently unlike strained-leaf tea that I can sip and enjoy.
*In theory. The only beverages I’ve had that contained alcohol and caffeine were a single Irish coffee and negligible-caffeine coffee liquors.
