<span style="font-size: large;">is a small world, afterall.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">About a month ago, I decided to host a party to treat the ladies at our church.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVk1XXEj7dQCDArz4QrsJOPKfkqExOtpe_5NMl4pLgyfaip4I3jK_rkcKUjgLMgBMz_cZked_bJgc6W90gKltN7iJ44WE1gIrV3245FigsD76gZI7922nkZSnlqv5EtubnJtb1vJAEYRA/s1600/photo+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVk1XXEj7dQCDArz4QrsJOPKfkqExOtpe_5NMl4pLgyfaip4I3jK_rkcKUjgLMgBMz_cZked_bJgc6W90gKltN7iJ44WE1gIrV3245FigsD76gZI7922nkZSnlqv5EtubnJtb1vJAEYRA/s400/photo+(2).JPG" width="300" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A pink party. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A "Just Because" party.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I recruited some people to do the inviting for me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyone and Everyone. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Our church has been growing, time for us to have some fun and meet everyone)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And they came.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My mom and our friends were fabulous with their contributions of cookies.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4wM-JEodGpvAe-f8iHd60aCuDQf7KSdrVAMr60Qlse7BcZhEBF3hXkJiUiOYhYdX-LKnAmCwJP_o4Pbn_u2iqh6FsrqEeD8AqD9J4EqqhOlKQYAm7D1Q8IKWvGeN9hlXhM3XbOIJ_AIA/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4wM-JEodGpvAe-f8iHd60aCuDQf7KSdrVAMr60Qlse7BcZhEBF3hXkJiUiOYhYdX-LKnAmCwJP_o4Pbn_u2iqh6FsrqEeD8AqD9J4EqqhOlKQYAm7D1Q8IKWvGeN9hlXhM3XbOIJ_AIA/s400/photo.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Swoon-worthy, in fact.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My mom had been talking about a friend of hers that I had to meet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As the friend was leaving the party, she mentioned something about her blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And garage sales. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">HHHHmmmmmm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sure enough.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://garagesalegal.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Debbie</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> and I had already met.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On-line.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a small world after all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had trouble getting all my pictures to load. Truth is, I ALWAYS have trouble with computer things. I have heard I have compatability issues. I have no clue what compatability issues even are. It makes my head hurt to even think about it. I usually just call <a href="http://themiddlestsister.blogspot.com/">Lib</a>, and she straightens everything out for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lib. Where are you? Answer your phone, I have a couple problems!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(K, maybe a lot of problems...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I will try and be back with more pictures. Just looking at them makes me want to have another party. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am nuts-o. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I realized that after last night.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I went to bed thinking of this wonderful </span><a href="http://myletterstoemily.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">lady</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">And thinking about this sweet</span><a href="http://myletterstoemily.blogspot.com/2013/03/dreams.html"><span style="font-size: large;"> post,</span></a></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">(the fact that I am now certifiably crazy has nothing to do with her, we haven't met, in person,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">but I can't tell you how many times I wished she lived across the street from me,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">or at least across the field from me, </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">and that she had a big, old front porch, with a rocker,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">and I would just wander over to that front porch and plunk myself down on that rocker to bask in all her glory, but I digress...)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">The next part all happened in about five minutes.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">From 2:01 AM, to 2:06 AM, to be precise.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I awoke from a dream.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was babysitting for a family that goes to school where I teach (what???)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">And I lost two of their younger kids (what, again???)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I finally found them, </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">they were sucking kerosene out of a pinprick they made in the plastic kerosene bottle. (WHAT???)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I panicked.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I tried to read the ingestion instructions on the label.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course, the label was all smeared off, so the instructions were illegible.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">All I could think of to do was run around the kitchen</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">yelling at the top of my lungs, in a very hopeful and most helpful voice,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">"No one light a match! No one light a match!"</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's when I woke up. Shaking my head at all my weirdness.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank goodness, only a dream... </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">My husband woke me up actually, coming home from working over-time.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our conversation went like this:</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Hi, Hon, glad you made it home from work finally.</span> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">sleepy, grunted greeting,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">How was your hospital run?</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Very odd.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">Why?</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Well, let's just say I just took a 41-year-old _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _</span> (I can't actually get myself to type the word he said, but let's just say it's a "fancy lady" that works with a pole, and she's not a barber)<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">to the hospital.</span></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">Oh?</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Let's just say she sprung a leak.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">What???</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Kate, one of her boobs popped.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;">What????? <span style="color: black;">(comprehension took a long time to set in on that one.) </span>Oooooohhhhh.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">(In a very confused voice)</span> How did she know that?</span></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Ever seen a flat tire?</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gotcha. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Maybe it's a good thing </span><a href="http://myletterstoemily.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">she</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> lives far, far away!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was my turn to run a relay. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I was late to meet with the race officials. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Luckily for me (not) the announcer somehow spotted me in the crowd and was joking with me over the loud speaker.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(I really didn't appreciate his jokes at the time.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I still had my warm-up pants on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Luckily for me (again NOT)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.themiddlestsister.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Libbie</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> was there to help me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I was running for check-in, and while the entire population of the Twin Cities Metro Area</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">was watching me panic and run for check-in, and try to take my pants off at the same time, Libbie, bless my sister, decides to step on one leg of my pants.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That was it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a vague recollection of lying there on the ground.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the middle of the track.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While EVERYONE was looking on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While a circle of people stood over me,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you know, like they do on tv.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The announcer was sputtering over the loud speaker.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And in the midst of that circle, I caught one face.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's right.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lib.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Laughing so hard she had to have been crying.</span></div>
