The DDs and I went to our neighborhood's Pool Opening Party today. It was fun. There was free food, games, prizes....I basically lay on a chaise lounge the whole time and read my new book, "Grave Surprise" by Charlaine Harris.
I ate 2 hotdogs, some chips, a dr. pepper, and 1/2 a brownie. My mouth isn't metallic right now, so everything tasted really good.
I didn't go in the water, as it was FREEZING. Well, i did jump off the diving board two times to cool off, but i sure didn't stay in the pool. the DDs were in there almost the whole time.
but! the cool thing! they had a bunch of door prizes: gift cards to here and there, beach bags, blablabla. i went over and scoped out the prizes, and saw that there was one for a free pool party.
hmmm....
all along, i'd been assuming the BuhBye Chemo Party that i'm going to throw this summer would be here at our house. But a pool party...hmmm......the kids would have somewhere to play other than our miniscule back yard, and, the biggest plus -- i wouldn't have to clean the house twice.
so, while i was scoping out the prizes, i mentioned to the lady standing there that the pool party was the prize i was hoping to get.
they had a drawing for a few of the prizes, including the pool party, and announced the winning numbers. apparently the people who had the number they drew for the pool party had already left, because a little while later, i noticed the lady i'd spoken to earlier walking toward me.
"The committe voted," she said, "and we're giving the pool party to you."
I could have hugged her.
so, yay! stay tuned for details of the upcoming Chemo Independence Pool Party!
