Cause I know you all are wondering

Fireworks are happening. I’m just not talking about it. But don’t worry, we are doing fine.

Yesterday I took Godzilla, Pman, GB and her friend C to a local parade. I saw some old friends from when I was younger, and got a chance to catch up just a bit with them. It was nice.

Then we headed home, repacked the cooler, picked up T and headed to Greg’s house. His GF made enchiladas, rice and beans. We brought chips and dip and salsa. We sat around and talked, played with the dogs, and talked to the birds. It was a good time.

Then we headed over to Cal Expo for fireworks. We got there about 530pm or so. It was already starting to fill up. Pman and Godzilla brought cars to play with while we waited for things to start – four hours later. Jen brought the three kids and hung out with us. There was some general bitching between the kids but that’s to be expected. GB and C were doing fine together until another friend J showed up. Then things were not so ok between the three of them. I don’t know what happened, but if I had to take a guess, it would be that since C and J are ex’s, and since J likes GB a lot, then there might be some bad feelings. Bad GB for inviting J in the first place. Anyway, then it started getting cooler, and I took the blanket that they were sitting on and covered myself, T and Godzilla with it. GB didn’t like that much either. Apparently she gave me a face, and T said that the next time she looks at me like that he’s gonna punch her in the mouth. Hmm. Godzilla puked while he was sitting with Jen, that was fun for all included. And at 930pm, the fireworks started. They were set to music and were awesome. Godzilla had a great time. Pman was sitting with Jen and Franky, but I am sure that he loved it too.

Getting out of there was a pain in the ass, of course. Too many people trying to get out at the same place. We almost had a run in with a couple of punks who didn’t understand the concept of merging. That’s every other car, in case you didn’t know.

Godzilla and Pman fell asleep in the van on the way home. That made things easy for us, just take them upstairs and put them in bed. Godzilla had a hard night, woke up about 115am and cried about this or that for 15 minutes or so. Then I washed his face and he decided he wanted his bottle and was ready to sleep again. In our bed he stayed. I tried to put him back in his bed for a bit, but that was a no-go. He was back in ours within minutes. We all woke up about 930am and were up for the day.

T made eggs, fried potatoes, and bacon this morning. And he helped clean the kitchen after we ate. He’s domesticated like that.

House hunting is going slow. We put in an application on a place that looks promising on Friday. We will see what happens with it. I expect to hear from the guy today or tomorrow. If we get this place, then we will move between July 20 and August 1. At least we will have an end to this house and a start to the new one. *sigh*
