Making an impression

If you want to impress your neighbors you should host the late night portion of the neighborhood party.

If you really want to impress your neighbors you should realize about an hour into hosting that you have had too much to drink - and then slink off for a power nap on the couch.

If you really, really want to impress your neighbors you should wake up out of that nap, pour yourself a drink and rejoin the party.

It's hard being me - and by hard I mean horrifyingly embarrassing.

Nonetheless, this Saturday was our neighborhood deck crawl/golf outing. The golf outing consisted of six couples golfing through the neighborhood yards, bolstered by jell-o shots at each hole and the deck crawl ended with many neighbors imbibing in our backyard.

It was a highly entertaining night, but resulted in two pretty darn useless parents on Sunday. Luckily for us Addie was beyond content cuddling and watching movies - she zonked out about 4:45 and woke back up this morning at 6:45.

Yes, you read that right, that sweet child slept for 14 hours.

She must've known exactly what mommy and daddy needed.

Garbage Day

As I predicted....bringing out the recycling was indeed HORRIFYING.

I wanted to post a sign on my curb that said "Don't Judge Me".

We are welcoming people into our neighborhood with an overflowing garbage can and two solid rows of empty pizza boxes, beer cans, beer bottles, wine and champagne bottles, and, for good measure, a few empty Gatorade bottles and diet 7up cans. CLASSY.

PS. I love the stop sign in the second picture...I think it's directly speaking to my liver. As in "If you keep this up, Jessica's liver, you are going to stop working".
