I should be on my way to see an Irish 80's cover band at the pub right now, but I hurt my freakin eye last night and it's been super sore today to the point of nearly driving me mad!! I figured that maybe I should just listen to music and update my blog and make the best of it :)
So what's new in the life of Brandi? Well, yesterday I committed to coordinating storytime at the library for the summer since they were only going to be offering 3 sessions otherwise. I'm pretty excited! That's one thing I love about living here, it's so easy to get involved in community stuff! Additionally, me and a few of the moms have designated a night once a week to get together and do our own crafty stuff...and drink wine!
I've met a few new "friends"....but I think I suffer from a condition that I shall call "Friend Fatigue". Friend Fatigue is basically where you meet a new friend and get super enthused about all the stuff you initially have in common--like OMG, we both like chocolate and Pinterest! We're going to be BEST friends! ....then you make plans for like 3 days of the next week and you can barely make it through Day 1's plans before you realize that was literally all you had in common and they get on your freaking nerves. The very thought of continuing through the rest of the week's plan is utterly exhausting. I DO THIS ALL THE TIME!!! See?? I do have good intentions before channeling my inner jerk!
In related stories, apparently the concept of Girl's Night is quite foreign to women here. What do you think Rule #1 of Girl's Night is? It's literally the ONLY rule. NO MEN!!! NO, they can't come with someone else to the SAME place and sit at a separate table--WTF??? Yes, that was actually suggested recently.
And no, she's never going to be invited out again!!! And at storytimes...bring the guys every once in a while, but to bring them EVERY SINGLE TIME and have them completely shoved up your ass when you're trying to join in a conversation on PMS remedies while the kids play is really just weird. Plus, don't these men have jobs??
What else? Oh yes, the month of June and part of July is booked up with visitors so I'm really excited :)
Ryan is turning 3 next week and he's having a Spongebob Treasure Hunt themed party at a splash park on Ormond Beach. I have a photo scavenger hunt planned and the gift bags are going to be "buried treasures" in a sand bucket.
Speaking of Sir Ryan, he's over my blogging and demanding I quit. My final thought to remember in the future is this: "If you think someone will try you, they will"....so I need to quit my benefits of the doubt! ;)
