candylandToday qualifies as the Best Day Candy-chan Has Had in AAAAAAAAAGES!!
8:00 Was woken up by Mommy. Boo.
8:30 Breakfast. Mommy made French toast. YAY!
9:30 Was about to start cleaning room (boo) when Mommy and Daddy asked me to come outside and help them take down the deck. The weather was nice and cool. YAY!
12:00 Pulled down the last piece of the deck so now the guy can come build us a new one and we don't have to pay him six hundred dollars to take down the old one because we did it ourselves. YAY!
12:15 Mommy and I decided that since it was so nice out, we would go to Lowe's and get the flowers and get our major gardening done for the year. YAY!
12:20 Mommy and I stopped for lunch at McDonald's and had a nice conversation. Apparently, when Little Sister and I were wee little lasses, Daddy was not capable of doing our hair. Oh, when we went out he always made sure our faces were clean and our hair was combed, but when it came to doing ponytails or pigtails or any such thing...well, he tried. This discussion came about because there were lots of small children in the restaurant. YAY!
12:45-ish Went to Lowe's. Mommy and I picked out the flowers to go in the garden bed with the hostas (we went with petunias, only because they didn't have any mossroses, which made me sad). We also got enough stuff to fill the four planters we always put out (I got to pick most of them!), and a jumbo-extra-large-ginormous-we-could-barely-lift-it bag of potting soil. YAY!
1:30 Got home in time to help Daddy load the pieces of our deck into the truck. It didn't take very long with all three of us doing it. YAY!
1:45 Hopped in the car and drove down to Daddy's warehouse to dump the wood into the dumpster there. This was the first time I'd gotten to see Dad's new warehouse, so I was pretty excited :D And we emptied the back of the truck in record time. Mom and I picked up icees from Kum-&-Go on the way home. YAY!
2:45 Everyone is home. Time to plant flowers! Dad did some other stuff while Mommy and I played in the dirt. We planted the petunias around the edge of the flowerbed (we put them in an alternating pattern of purple, purple/white), and then four planters full! What all did we have...marigolds with a spike in the middle...a geranium surrounded by impatiens...something else pink surrounded by something pink and green...and my favorite, a pot of fuschias. I saw them and loved them immediately...mostly because they looked like they were sticking their tongues out, and I am just incredibly immature like that. YAY!
5:00 Came back inside and washed my hands. I am probably insane, but I think it's really fun to come back inside and scrub the dirt from under my fingernails because it means I've been planting, and planting means spring! YAY!
5:35 Finishing typing up this LJ entry while smelling the turkey cooking in the oven for dinner. YUM! AND YAY! So we'll probably have dinner very soon, and then tonight Mom and I will have our weekly cry as we watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. And then I will take a much-needed shower and curl up andwork on that smut-fic I promised strawberrychan that I might have worked on a bit last night relax!
This more or less concludes Candy-chan's day of awesome!
