10lbs of bananas weighs the same as 10lbs of dirty socks.

This is the longest I've been away from my blog since I started again, but I've had good reason!

My dear friend Becky, who is the only out-of-towner I ever met who I know directly through blogs (she blogged as NPRjunky for years), was in town with her fiance for four days and I spent most of my time with them! We went out for great Mexican (Vallarta's) and wings (Winghouse) and seafood (Frenchy's) and I brought them to Clearwater Beach (because aren't you obligated to take out-of-towners to the beach when they visit?). We hit up the biggest and best used bookstore in the area (Haslam's) and they were excited to see a Krispy Kreme since they don't have a location anymore. We also visited many a Target (for a certain item that they plan on using as favors for their wedding) and they checked out a few Goodwills (for fishbowl centerpieces for the wedding).

Saturday night I had a couple other friends over for dinner, drinks and board games and Becky and Chris smoked us at Trivial Pursuit with their (his) knowledge of pop culture and I made guacamole (seriously, the best guacamole ever), PW's bacon-wrapped jalapenos, baked beans and pulled pork from a roast that Hubby cooked on the spit all day. It was all delicious.

BUT all good things must come to an end and they flew back Sunday afternoon (after a second jaunt to Winghouse) and I was left to my normal life, which involves the older boy running out into a parking lot again, smearing poo all over the toilet and sink of my second bathroom and leaving a pile of it on my bathroom rug, and running around the house nekked with one hand attached to his penis at all times. And pardon me, but the younger one is crying and I think he wants (another) bottle.
