Which Do You Want First?
Sunday, August 3, 2008 at 4:01AM
The good news: We just now walked in the door from what started out as a birthday party for a friend's toddler at 1pm and turned into the most awesome rockstar day out in downtown Vancouver, like, ever.
The bad news: "Just now" just so happens to be 1:16 in the morning.
The good news: I took a shitton of pictures today on our little outing.
The bad news: The camera I brought today, though quite lovely and all, is so freaking antiquated that my shiny new laptop is all, "Pshaw, I am so totally too good for that software." And the guy with the shitastic laptop who can use the software? Is currently in another country.
The bad news: We returned home, ridiculously excited for ice cream, to find that the freezer has been set to Off for an indefinite amount of days.
The good news: The Kraft cheese slices that one of us put in there were totally not frozen.
The bad news: Each one of the four of us had to, at some point in the evening, get really comfortable with the idea of peeing in a Fatburger cup in front of half a million people.
The good news: Only one of us missed.

Well hey, I am sure that the good totally outweighed the bad.

The peeing in the cup thing I can get my head around but why would a freezer turn itself off?

I didn't see any good or bad news about the moods your kids were in by the end of that day. Did they make it home? :)
Sounds like a (mostly) fun day!
Not much ickier than early-morning freezer off-age.

Vancouver BC? I love that town so much. I lived there 99 - 01. What a great place. Good parties too, I hear.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to laugh at any misfortune there, or not. But why the heck didn't you just come to my house to pee? Or any of the portapotties they set up at the beach? I'm so happy you guys came and Isobel is ALL OVER the purse, yo.

If we had Fatburger in Wisconsin I'd totally pee in their cups with you.

Bwahaha at the fatburger cup. So, you are going to post pictures when The Donor comes back, right?
Ahh. Vancouver. Too far for me to drive over.
You silly Vancouverans and your peeing in cups.

I haven't heard of too many First Birthday parties turning into ragers... that's quite an impressive feat! (As is peeing in a cup...)

You have Fatburger there? I love Fatburger. That and In 'n Out Burger are the only burger cups good enough for my pee. I'm craving a Kingburger with a fried egg right now.

Going to have to cross the border for some FatBurger, seeing as how the closest one to Washington is in Arizona!!!!! Pa-leeeeze.
Also, it's good to over-do it sometimes to remind yourself why you don't do that each and every night, even though it was fabulous!
Sweet that only one of you missed the cup. I can pee in a fatburger with my eyes closed

Hee hee hee! Now I feel like pulling out my old Russian Folk Tales books. I don't really get why you need software to get your pics off your camera, though. Get a card reader and you'll never need to worry about software again. Love 'em!

sounds like fun. and yeah ... the good totally outweighed the bad.
although the peeing in the cup thing? that could have pushed things the other way.
