A Very Power Rangers Birthday

Riley's birthday was a couple of weeks ago. He is now officially four.
We had a little party at our swim club. Much fun was had. I made the cake and the pinata (it's a Power Ranger's head not an Easter Egg). Here are pics.


Both the cake and the pinata were really fun to make. I ordered the cake pan off of ebay which is something I always find exciting. The pan is circa 1994 and I got it for $10.50. Nice. I made the frosting from scratch and piped all of it onto the cake myself. It was a good time.
Riley seemed to appreciate my efforts too. He was proud of me.
And he loved his party and seeing all of his pals on the hottest day of the year so far.
We had a great day.
And now for new adventures with my four-year-old guy. It's going to be a blast.

Ok, The Last Post was Mean

I was in a bad mood and hating everyone. There is no excuse.

Good thing no one seems to be reading here though. So it's all good.

I am ready for a vacation that's all. I'm just done, you know?

Bring on summer.

I Don't Understand Why Some People Post Pics of Themselves All the Time

I'm not saying this to be mean. But I just don't get it. Why?

Unless you're being funny, why?

There are some bloggers who post pics of themselves daily. IMO even weekly is excessive.

Why?

I'm guessing it's a little bit of everything.
I have my own theories/judgements but I'd really like to hear it from the people who do it.

Why?

I've always wanted to know.

Why?

And just for the record...

I think Prop 8 is stupid and horribly bigoted. I am ashamed that it passed.
I have friends who voted for Prop 8 and while I respect their decision (kind of...well...not really), I heartily disagree.
People fall in love.
People should be able to get married and have the same protection under the law as everyone else.
It's like my former neighbor who is 70 said, "It's not about how anyone feels about the gays (her words) it's about the fact that this is taking people's rights away."

And when we do that, we set freedom back and hurt our country more than two people in love would ever do.

I don't even know why I am thinking about this tonight but it's been months since this thing passed and it still upsets me.
