"Click"

First off let me start by telling Anna Claire “Happy 5th Birthday!” She’s getting so old! Today was an absolutely wonderful day! I woke up around noon and headed out to Wal-Mart to do a little shopping. I got my week’s worth of supplies (this is a good time to say, thank you Mamaw for the Wal-Mart gift card) and headed back to the fort.
After getting things all packed away, I ate lunch and took myself a little nap. Since I’m still in recovery mode, I can do that (so no rolling of the eyes ☺). I got up around quarter after 4 and headed into work.
I got to talk with Ninny (that’s my Aunt Cindy’s name from when I was two. The name stuck. Don’t lie, you’re jealous) right before I got to work so that was wonderful—hearing her laugh and joke really helped to put me in a good mood. I was doing the parade again tonight but I was in a part of the parade that I’m not especially good at. When I say “not especially good at” I mean, “I stink.” I get comments every week about how offbeat I am. So as soon as I got there I actively began prowling out someone who could trade places with me. Nathaniel! Found him! After luring him in hook line and sinker (I have such a way with words ☺), we headed up to the check in window. In my kindest, sweetest tone, I asked if we could change positions. “No.” was the immediate reply of the woman sitting behind the counter (so much for the happiest place on earth!).
A tad bit disappointed, I headed into cosmetology to get my makeup done and to grab my mask. Well unbeknown to me, my mask smelled like rotting corpses of a thousand seagulls; however, I didn’t realize that until I was at the parade center a.k.a. too far away from cosmetology to get another mask. So I took a deep breath and got ready to go. I’ll admit I might have complained a few times but after having a gay coworker tell me to “stop being such a wuss,” I shut up. Ow! After scraping up what remained of my dignity, I made my way down to the step off. Once there, I got fork lifted into my seat since it’s way up on top of the float. The music swelled, the doors opened, the float jerked, and the parade was underway.
Then all of the sudden, it clicked. Everything made since. The choreography fit with the music! I finally was able to put it all together! I was so excited! I rocked out that choreography if I do say so myself (now, I don’t know if the parade choreographer will agree with me, but for my own peace of mind, I was rocking it out). It was one of the best parades ever! It’s such a great feeling to know you’re doing a good job after all the hard work you’ve put into it.
After finishing up at the parade, I headed back home to cook up some Cheeseburger Macaroni and watch “Glee” with Jessica and Megan. It was such good times! I’m so pumped about tonight; I just don’t want to go to sleep. Heck, look at my blog—it’s practically doubled in length.
