Parades Pranks and Chili

 July 4th we were in the parade. Then fondue then the show. After the show Sheila the "first lady of medora" who is the widow of the man who made it into the tourist town that it is, hands out ice cream and we watched fireworks from her front lawn.

 It's a terrible picture but I wanted to show my eyelashes. I was DEAD SET on wearing my red white and blue eyelashes all day.

There has been a rash of pranks recently. A while ago Kayla's furniture got rearranged while she was out at a party. Then a couple days ago Marc got taped into his room. He couldn't open his screen door.... excuse me for a second BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Everyone suspected me and Kayla the most. I'm actually proud that people think I am that creative. Sadly I'm definitely not that subtle. Those two pranks haven't been claimed and if I did something like that I would have been parked in a lawn chair waiting to laugh at him trying to get out. All of this is possible because people leave their doors wide open because they lock automatically. Typical hang-out protocol is; take off make-up, grab your drink, grab your keys, leave your door open.




We are desperate to know who taped him in, just because I want to shake their hand. It's like I'm living in the juvenile prank version of clue. Everyone suspects everyone else.
It was Zach! In the parking lot! With the packing tape! 


 Last night was Chili night. By which I mean I made a giant pot of chili and people ate it. ALL of it. It was fabulous. I had a kind of stressful day yesterday and coming right home to open a bottle of wine and start chopping veggies while a bunch of people sat around joked was exactly what the doctor ordered. As sort of egotistical as it sounds I think I kind of needed the ego boost of everyone liking my chili. I had one of those days where I got yelled at, then someone else "apologized" for being terse with me but it was one of those apologies that is just designed to make you feel bad. So comfortable and homey was what I needed. I will definitely be making more chili. Especially since I fed lke 10 people and spent about $12. And I did it all without my underwear on. I have to say, possibly my favorite thing about living here is how I get to constantly wear my pajamas.
