a few days’ worth of pics and words.
This weekend was a blur, I think.
A beautiful blur, but still.
I didn’t get a ton of sleep. I have many pictures here, but none of them are of me sleeping because, right: I didn’t get a ton of sleep. Too bad, because you know how I love to post pics of me sleeping.
But I did go to the Summer Molestice. And Shane and I got to play there, which was pretty awesome.
And people listened, which makes a show even better, I’ve learned.
And I got a new pair of boots.
Yes, that has nothing to do with the Paper Janes or the Summer Molestice, but well, I’m liking them very much, so I thought I’d mention it.
And Shane and I really need to make a card. This is something we say very often but rarely do. Actually, we never do it. And every time someone asks us for our card, I feel pretty dumb as I reach into my purse, rip a receipt in half, and scrawl some of our info down for them.
Which is what I did for the man in the far right of the above picture, after he asked us for our card. And then he told us that he wants to produce our little rap, boi boi boi. And yep, that’s how it’s spelled. And yep, it’s a rap. But he was pretty excited about it and I guess we shall see if that happens or not.
I’ve learned that people say a lot of things and maybe it’s well intentioned and maybe they mean it as they say it, but I don’t put much stock in things people say they will do until it’s pretty much done.
At least when it comes to things like producing.
And wow, just wow, because my brother Jase decided that he would put on one of our dogs harnesses and run people around in the dog cart.
It was pretty hilarious.
And I don’t know who enjoyed it more–Jase or whoever was getting carted around at the time.
And afterwards, Jason said that he thought it would be easier. He mentioned that he thought he’d be able to run like the wind in front of that dog cart.
But keep trying, Jase! Cause we certainly don’t mind the rides around the yard, even if you don’t quite run like the wind.
Yet.
And last but not least, today was Father’s Day and we all pitched in to get my pop a whopper of a gift.
I made a poster because presentation is everything, you know.
And pop is quite delighted at the prospect of his DNA test.
We were joking about all the many results that could come of it. One of the Sand People from Star Wars, Bald Man, and Any Ethnicity That He Is So Clearly Not So Wouldn’t That Be So Funny? are all in the running, but I suppose we’ll have to be patient and see.
And of course, his results effect all of us, so we all have some vested interest in this test.
Don’t worry, I’ll keep you posted.

True story. I get in about 20 individual volunteer applications a month and only about 2-3 of them actually end up volunteering. Which is very bizarre to me because filling out an application is considerably more commitment than simply saying “I want to volunteer.”
huh. guess I don’t know how these xhtml tags work. Whatevs.
yeah–I know what you mean. I’m not sure what happens between the time someone very enthusiastically tells you what they want to do and then just don’t do it, but something sure does happen…and how weird–cause filling out an entire application takes time and sort of means you’re serious. Huh.
Ahh…your return gig at the Summer Molestice, glad you and Shane got to play…funny pics of Jase…love the card for your Pop!!
yes yes yes! we were so glad to get to play too! and oh man, jase and the dog cart was primo.
i love the pictures..the one of Jason is hilarious!!!!! im so glad that you had a good weekend!!!!!
thanks, sarah! maybe jase will start carting people around after church (for a small fee, of course…)!!
I’m going to write a really detailed, encouraging comment about this subject – about 5000 words long. It’ll be great. You’ll see.
Haha nice.
…but I probably won’t hold my breath…
It’ll be done any time now.
Jase thought he would be able to run like the wind… that is too funny. And the molestice looks like fun; much warmer than last time. Had your Pop been wanting a DNA test? those things are expensive – we have to test the girls to know if they are identical… we’re putting it off… and your poster was hilarious!
I know, Jase thinking he could run like the wind towing that dog cart is so funny…and pop mentioned to Jase when we were in CA that he’d like a DNA test and so we thought it’d be a perfect/funny father’s day gift! Jase found one pretty inexpensive (comparatively) and it even comes with a highlighted map that shows where your genealogy is the strongest. Fancy.
super fancy! love it.
RUN! Run like the wind!
Do we really want to know what Pop is made of?
