But for real, look at all of the junk I've been doing!
First there was there County Fair, where I saw this:
I love a Demolition Derby (who doesn't right!?) but this year's was oh-so-great. It's not every year that cars launch up ON TOP of one another. Or smash through the jersey wall. It was so exciting that I found myself screaming at the top of my lungs, "AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME! AWE-SOOOOOOMEE!!" while punching the air with one fist like some crazed Beattle fan and trying to take pictures with the other.
If the derby itself wasn't in and of itself WAY AWESOME, the night would have been worth it to see this championship mullet.
Behold the mullet.
It leaves me a little breathless, I have to admit.
I hereby dubbed the theme of this fair, The Food On A Stick Fair, and accordingly ate only food on a stick. If it has been a while since you've had a corndog - MEND YOUR WAYS! I forgot how divine they are.
Camie and I are both smiling weird in this picture because we were afraid we had junk stuck in out teeth. I do have junk stuck on my teeth, but it's intentional (and will be gone in a couple more weeks). Also I was balancing a cup of fries and three ketchup cups on my lap. This picture was taken about 2 minutes before one of those ketchup cups turned over, leaving a very attractive red blotch on my thigh. Super duper sexy, as usual.
For dessert, we hit the the ice cream stand. And I wanted a milkshake, but a milkshake isn't Food On A Stick, now is it? No, it is not. But Frozen Bananas are. So a Frozen Banana it was. This is what I learned about frozen bananas: One, they are really hard to bite into. Two, they aren't very tasty, especially when compared to a milkshake. Three, pictures while eating them are, well, rather awkward.
So the fair was awesome, but I've also been doing other great stuff to keep me from blogging. Like going to the beach.
Ahhh .... the beach.
And finally, tonight I had a party at my house. The final bash at my illustrious digs in Silver Spring deserved nothing less than a Taco Sundae Sunday. Tacos + Ice Cream Sundaes + Sunday = One Great Par-Tay. I, for one, had a great time, and I think my guests did too. Unfortunately, I was too busy having a great time and directing people to the taco bar or the ice cream bar to remember to take any pictures. Hostessing is very important and demanding work, so I can totally see why people hire photographers for these kinds of things.
Anyway, with all of this going on, you can see how blogging has fallen by the wayside. But next week I will be packing up my house which means I'll be blogging ALL OF THE TIME as I procrastinate sorting through all of my junk.

The Par-Tay was a BLAST! Thanks for letting me crash. I just wanted to see my favorite bloggers, G. and C. (oh, and I heard there'd be ice cream). Thanks for being an awesome hostess! Next time, I'll be in charge of taking pictures.
Let me tell you why I am offended by this post. You have mocked a kindred spirit and are seemingly aware of it! Did you notice that the fine young man whose mullet you mocked has other endearing qualities? Qualities, I dare say, that you should have focused on and extolled. Namely, you completely overlooked the fact that he is wearing a Denver Nuggets jersey! How could you make such an oversight!? Oh, the shame!
I miss the fair. I am however so happy to see that you have carried on the whit trash weekend at least by continuing with the fair. Who knew that much WT could be found in Montgomery County? I lived much of my life there and never knew that it was really that extreme. Does that just mean that I was closer to it than I ever should have been?
