In which I quickly recap the things that we did today so that I don't forget, because I officially have "can't remember stuff" syndrome.
Since Monday is Bo's THIRTY-NINTH BIRTHDAY, we went out shopping for goodies for birthday dinner. Bard had choir this morning, so we were up by 6:30 (quite a feat for this Bohemian family) and out the door by 8:00. It takes about an hour to get to Bard's choir practice, so there's lots of nice talking time along the way. It helps that the radio in the car is broken.
While we were on our way to choir, Houdin was with Linda and Em helping to assemble 600 pizzas to sell as a fundraiser for our Speech and Debate Club. After the assembling was completed, Linda took Houdin and Em on a route to sell the pizzas door-to-door. The idea of doing that makes me break out in hives. I can't can't CAN'T ask people for money without sweating large droplets of life.
While Houdin was selling pizzas and Bard was singing, Bo and I were shopping. We went to a hoity-toity health-food store that I used to shop back before I owed my life to the bank. Honestly, I think I could live on hummus. But Bo had other ideas. After all, it was his birthday dinner! He chose a tuna steak and a salmon steak for the grill. I chose Stonyfield Farms French Vanilla yogurt, the whole milk kind with the cream on the top, to go with the granola that I'm going to make using PeacefulLady's recipe.
When we arrived home, we put the groceries away and then I headed out to pick Houdin up from his pizza selling venture. He and Em had sold almost 60 pizzas! Another family had a dozen left, so I joined Linda, Houdin and Em and we finished the route and sold the rest of the pizzas. One young man reported that he sold thirteen pizzas at one door and another girl was excited to share that she received a $38 tip on a $12 pizza.
We came home and at, what else? Pizza! But tomorrow, it's tuna steak and barbecued chicken with cheesy potatoes, asparagus and cheesecake. YUM!
And thus ends my speed post. :-)
