Fairy - Floss - Party!!!!

This is the list of things I was meant to get done over the weekend:

o Clean dishes
o washing
o Gap fill the trims on the ceiling
o Gap fill the 4 doorways in the kitchen
o Gloss paint all the kitchen door trims
o Wall paint all the skirting in the kitchen
o dump runs
o gardening

This is the list of things I ended up getting done over the weekend:

o Clean dishes (which have since multiplied at the rate of bunnies on Viagra)
o washing (I got the necessary work clothes done… does that count?)
o Gap fill the trims on the ceiling … ok Boy did this for me. I blame my mother and my extreme lack of height. Seriously did he think someone 5’2” would be reaching the ceiling?! Ladder? What’s a ladder?
o Wall paint all the skirting in the kitchen (YAY I completed something!)
o dump runs – we did 2 of these, I no longer have half of my 1000m2 block covered with rubbish… literally, real rubbish.
o gardening… I picked up the sticks so Boy can mow the over grown grass, and I started pulling out some weeds til I saw a grasshopper AHHHH and then swept out the gutters on the road in case we actually get some rain sometime this year.

But the exciting part of the weekend – 5th Birthday!! My beautiful niece, Miss Princess-Ballerina-Barbie turned 5 last week so the family made the trek out to my house to 1. See my house for the first time since I bought it in March (other then Big Brother who has helped us out on many occasions – thank you Big Bro, i feel loved :)) and 2. I have a fairy floss machine and what more do you need for a rockin’ party other then a hairy floss machine?! (Maybe a jumping castle but we still haven’t fixed those prickles :s it would have EXPLOADED on my evil grass!)

Boy bought me the fairy floss maker for my last birthday. At first I was a little confused… Why a fairy floss machine? Do I really act like I am 3? Is he trying to get me fat so he can chop me up and eat me? But THEN I used it…. It’s amazing. It’s like little sugar spider webs flying through the sky and I am catching them on my magical fairy –floss- wand. Ok maybe I have had too much sugar…. But at any rate it is great entertainment for children’s parties. We all stood around – mind you 7 adults and 2 kids – making fairy floss for a good 15 minutes. I am positive next time I go to big sisters house there will be one on her bench.

Also, a very valid point was raised by my sisters boy, Potato Head, usually when we have drinking game nights we have red bull involved to make it last longer – lots of sugar and caffeine to keep the night going. But in future we can have FAIRY FLOSS – because seriously all you do to make a small cone is heat up a tablespoon of sugar – AWESOME!

Awesome was not my tummy after a very sugary cake and lots of fairy floss and toffee though! It took many hours for my stomach to settle down enough to ingest anything other then water. I still have not been able to have anything sweeter then a glass of Bailies! Ah, who am I kidding! This wont last long! I will be back to my block of chocolate a day by tomorrow!
