Hi de ho

Not much again this evening. G went back to school after a sick day. I went to Tinsel and Treasure, sponsored by the Junior League. It is a craft and gift fair full of holiday and other gifts, although I have never really understood what the Junior League is exactly. I found a couple things, nothing too exciting(except for our niece which is pretty cute). The Tervis Tumbler people weren't there,so I couldn't get gifts I had planned on. Oh well. I did get a few checked off the list. The best part of the whole shopping experience was that I got to shop by myself. Brian dropped me off and went to do some things with the boy and pickup the girls. When I finished shopping, I went outside to wait for the family and decided to snap some pictures whole I waited. This one was my favorite:

The enduring symbol of Knoxville and the World's Fair...even featured on The Simpsons. I think it is a pretty cool thing, the Sunsphere. S, not so much. She got separated from the rest of the family in an elevator there. This has warped her feelings on tall monuments and elevators. Understandable. Thankfully when she got off at the next stop, two floors up, a mom who S said "sounded like Harry Potter" helped her find Brian. Oh well. We all have our therapy moments.

Leaf raking and leaf blowing took up the rest of the afternoon. Then Brainand S went off to her soccer awards party at Gatti's, while the other two and I stayed home. Meanwhile, one of my dearest friends sent me a picture of the cake she made for her daughter's birthday. Anyone who knows me, knows that I love this:

Uh, sock monkeys are super cool! Wish I could do that...just lovely. Anyhoo, Brian and S returned home from the party with her prized trophy. She kind of wished her name was on it, but was still very tickled!

This was the name of their team because, indeed, they could not make up their minds on a team name. It made an amusing little pre-game cheer for sure. She was pleased and is certainly looking forward to next season(and the break in between seasons).

Thanks, dear readers, for enduring the nauseating minutiae of my life. This has become almost a journal of my mental-ness, so to speak. It is enjoyable and has turned into a nice way to end my evening. Hi de ho, friends. Have a nice rest of the evening....what's left of it.
