So, how was your Memorial Day weekend? Mine was pretty grand if I might say so myself! Even if it involved a crash, poker face, a bare butt and a crane. Let me explain!
My sister-in-law and I went to Target sans the children (yeah for me) and whilst browsing the endless aisles of bargains, we heard over the loud speaker for someone to come to the front if they had a grey Honda.
Ooh, that sounds familiar I thought to myself, who has a grey Honda?
Then it dawned on me — my sis-in-law has a grey Honda Fit which we had travelled to afore-mentioned shop in. Doh! She didn’t even tune in to the message, so I told her she better go make sure it wasn’t hers. But, alas it was. Some pensioner had put her foot on the accelerator thinking it was the brake and had crashed right in to the back of her perfectly parked grey Honda.
Yikes!
The whole right sided bumper was caved in, but luckily the boot still opens so we were able to get all our lovely bargains in the back! And, moreover nobody was hurt. The old dear was ticketed and then went about her day . . . disappearing in to Target!
We were able to make it to the movies in the nick of time to see Angels and Demons– have I mentioned before how much I think Dan Brown books rock? Evidently, he has a new one coming out soon and I can’t wait. Anyway, the movie was fab except for this one instance where a certain crunchie mummy forgot to turn off her ring tone. Have I mentioned I recently switched my tone to Lady Ga Ga’s Poker Face? 15 seconds of shame or what?
I shan’t reveal that said ring tone went off at a very poignant part of the movie, but to the lady who impatiently told me to turn it off I say, how very dare you? At least I wasn’t hacking up loogies through the whole movie like your husband. Ewwww! I hate that about the cinema, don’t you?
My littlest one has been continuing to streak and flash his bare butt! It all has to do with potty training, but I’ll reveal more of that another time!
Yesterday, we enjoyed some good eats and family time down at my mum’s house on the water. All my family were there except my oldest brother and his family, but we did have some other company. An uninvited crane decided to descend upon the party for a while . . . I think it was waiting for all those fish we DIDN’T catch!
Here’s the peanut gallery . . .
Now it’s back to the grindstone or in my case, more frigging laundry!

That is a lot going on!!! Glad the crash wasn’t more serious. Going to Target is always a risky business……
Was Angels and Demons better than the DaVInci code?
Glad none of you were in the car. Oooo you saw Angels and Demons without me ya buggers, the cell phone was karma for not inviting me..lol just kiddin’
It did end up being a loverly day! Can’t believe the heron let you get so close. Meg’s (I’m) still traumatized by Logan’s nakedness, had a conversation about private parts all the way home..lol Good Times!
