Imagine All the People

Imagine Heidi were a flying object. Which would she be?
1) blimp
2) biplane
3) glider
4) frisbee
5) lear jet
6) brick

When the options are sit in the truck in a long row of cars waiting to get out of the fireworks viewing area or play board games, we choose board games. Who am I kidding? I choose board games almost every time... regardless of the other choice. Also, FYI, girls are better than boys at actually knowing people, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that I tied for the win in tonight's Imaginiff. What should surprise you is that I tied with Andrew (clearly, a boy). Funniest part about us tying for the win? We were the only two (well, I guess except for Kim's mom, but she was blind guessing on just about everything anyway since she doesn't know any of us but her daughter... and the slightest bit about her daughter's closest friends) who don't have PhDs! See? I guess that proves it. The higher the education, the less you really know about people.

Missed you guys tonight, Fun Mel & Steve. But, as I'm sure you already know from Barry's texts, you were in our thoughts and prominent among topics of conversation! Thanks, Steve, for providing 500-calorie fodder for our amusement. I will forever have the visual of your attached-to-the-back-but-already-counted-for-daily-caloric-intake slurp of sauce.

You guys also missed one of the funniest pictures-not-taken (sorry, I wasn't a camera hawk this time... didn't even get it out, so I can't show you anything). We're all standing around after the fireworks, and the cackling laughing is abundant. Amy has a cat toy for Sophie... kind of like a fishing pool with a little toy on the end of the string. So, Suzie thought it'd be funny to dangle the toy above Jon's head for him to paw at it. Jon obliged and everyone giggled. Then Tony walked up and took the fishing pole from Suzie's hands and lifted it up h-i-g-h-e-r (as only Tony, at 6'9", can do). He dwarfs us all anyway, but when he extended his fishing-pole-in-hand arm above Jon's head, it was just this caricature of small people and one big giant holding a toy for them to play with. Yeah, I can't do it justice in a description. I should've just whipped out my camera!

So, ends up Tony is funny. I mean, I've heard him tell jokes and really cute/funny stories before. But tonight was just about the first time I've been around loose-Tony. He makes me laugh.

Other items on today's agenda: do some "Friday" work, mow lawn, pool for an hour, try on new dresses again (still don't make decision), go to party. Check, check, and check. Hope y'all had a fabulous 4th and that the fireworks were of the enjoyable ilk wherever you were.
