B: Guiding Lights

About 6 months ago our Internet friend Rob set your friends here at Cumulus up on a date with some strangers. It was a bit weird and very 21st century for us, but it worked out great! We met some new friends (A and M) and had a new bond with Rob.



Tonight (just now) we finally met out blog friend Rob. He was exactly what we both expected. A very nice and personable guy. A geologist with a familiar reference point and common sense of humor. I know this is virtually a common place thing now, but I am still amazed to have made a virtual friend from Atlanta and to meet them in real life here in Sacramento. It is weird and magical.



Congratulations Rob on your decision to run 2 century ultra marathons, followed by an Iron man race all in a single pair of awesome socks!!!! We will so be there to support you!

I spent the last two nights of my 20s playing with dollhouses and going to bed by 9:30pm. Sigh.

In other news, the little one's birthday picnic was a resounding success. There were 4 two-year-old girls there, all eating cupcakes and playing on the slides and falling off the picnic tables. Ahhh, good times. We didn't even get any major breakdowns until around 12:30, when the simultaneous sugar crashes started.

I was a little concerned, as on her birthday we gave her a little slice of cake and ice cream, and she ate it so dainty-like with a fork and thought it was so delicious that it all actually got in her mouth, rather than all over her face. Where's the fun in that? Luckliy she got in the spirit during the picnic and once she saw the other girls digging into the cupcakes with their hands, she was alll over it. Or more appropriately, it was all over her... Cupcake photos will follow shortly.
