Go Away, Paige 

Yesterday (Woden's Day) I had a heck of a time getting things done. For some reason everything just took longer than it should have. It took me longer to get ready in the morning than it should have. It took me longer to get some work done than it should have. It took Carrie longer to get her work done at the store than it should have. Kinda frustrating.

I made a grocery-store run at 3:00 and picked up stuff like hamburger & hotdog buns, 2-litre sodas, Heinekin, charcoal... y'know, barbeque fixin's. That's because that evening at 6:00 (after cleaning the house for an hour and a half) Carrie & I threw a barbeque to send off Paige, who is departing the Bead Factory shortly.

Paige and Brandy were the first to show, just shortly after I started the charcoal a-burnin'. Brandy pulled up first, but they both got out of their cars at the same time, so she technically didn't arrive at the party before the guest of honor.

Anyway, besides them two ladies there was also the entire Tarbet family, Leilani, Christine & Lawrence, Heather, and later Carly, Missa, & Travis. They came so much later that I had to go put more coals on the fire so it wouldn't go out before they could cook some foodstuffs! Heather & Brandy made guacamolé, Lawrence told Lena an Anansi story; everyone tried to convince Carly that the drinking age ended at 28. Funtimes, funtimes.

We sent all of the unhealthy food and drink home with guests because neither Carrie nor I wanted to be tempted by the likes of chocolate cake or Mug rootbear. It was remarkably easy to clean up the living room when the party was over; it was practically clean already. The kitchen will be another story, though...

We played a game of Mario Kart before going to bed.
