gone are the days

while riffling through my parents garage. then the computer room closet. then my old bedroom closet. searching for the perfect accessories for our costumes next weekend. i found them. my collection of nerf guns. mini. dart guns. i have three. i am not positive why. i am sure they were purchased to torment my brother. but i save everything. and now they are coming in handy. perfect for the costumes. to celebrate serious business's hubby's bday. she is throwing a super action freakout party. so untitled, scooter, untitled's man and i. are joining together. i can not reveal the characters. as it is a secret to the other party goers. but i can reassure. we will be the most comfortable. as we will not be wearing spandex.

i also stumbled across two super soakers. brother's and mine. they were from our summer days working on fort. cleaning houses. i forgot to mention in my previous post. when describing the best summer job ever. not only did we work with our friends. take naps. with minimal labor. we also had water gun fights. well not fights. more like sneak attacks. battles. we would go to other crew's houses. and open fire. i usually left the day soaking wet. as inbloom and i were the only girls. prime targets. always unsuspecting to the guys. but we held our own. every crew had mini vans or work vans. so we would also do drive bys. opening the sliding door. and attacking a target. sometimes make water balloons. drive through open fields. practice jumping in and out. all while we were getting paid $13 an hour. it was the best job ever. they were the best summers. but those days are gone. i am now an adult. and i as much as i love reminiscing. i also find it sad. because i am sure. i complained. and whined. if only i knew what i know now. i should try to be more positive. starting now. ha.

btw. the cuckoo clock house. the youngest dog. not only looks like the dog from the movie marley and me. i havent seen the movie. but i also predict. pretty much acts like marley too. luckily i end the job tomorrow morning. it has been a long week. with so many animals. i feel like i am constantly turning around. and its time to feed them again. or wiping off paws. or going on walks. and the whining starts so soon.

I can't wait to find out the costumes! Those really were the days, working on fort. Is it weird that I am getting paid 1/2 of that now, with more work involved? Seems wrong...
