Love it!
I'm sure glad you ate that ice cream.
Sorry about the "out of the running" but glad you got some icecream, fruitloops, and brownies! Hope bookclub went well.
I hope the leftover brownie bites go a long way to smoothing out tomorrow, at least. :)
Just reading that made me tired. I hope you get your much-needed/deserved rest soon!
You rock, girl! Keep your spirits up and get some rest!
Love it! I was going to go to book club...but never read the book! I could have definitely helped dispacth of those left-over 22 brownie bites though. I know what you mean about Nerf darts, and is there another way to eat ice cream other than out of the container?
Sorry about the house, the nerf darts in pjs made me laugh...sure it was less funny for you. Thanks for the post. Hugs & smiles!
