celebrations of yesteryear

december was a celebratory month. things i was happy about:

making 17 cardboard christmas monsters with kat,
then climbing telephone poles,
trees,
and even light poles (with exceptionally fabulous stranger Chris) in order to gift holiday public art to some of our nearest and dearest amigos.
merry christmas, indeed.
other pseudo-criminal activities involved having friend jrum kidnapped, bound, thrown in a trunk, and dumped off at the century city mall...
where friends engaged him in a variety of tasks in order to receive the 27 gold pieces he needed in order to get a moustached cab ride home.
happy birthday, indeed.
wearing that red dress pictured here a whopping 8 sundays in a row, and having exactly 2 people notice and question the repetition.
learning the wonders of the magic bullet by blending up a sweet potato pie and subsequent protein shakes with mom.
time with papatron and jäger,
captaining a ship with mushy after failed attempts to prove our athletic prowess on the nearby baseball diamond and basketball court,
having same sister remember aisle antics from years before AND give me memorabilia from previous lion-carcass-slaying endeavors,
but mostly, the glee of a comptron family (almost) reunion. look at that happiness. just look!
