New Years Eve

This New Years Eve I got my "carny" on. I made balloon animals for 5 hours -and made $200.

I learned how to make these balloon animals about 2 hours before I arrived. And now I am pro. I could make you a monkey with my eyes closed. Sword? Bah, I can make that in my sleep now. One woman told me "You're so good at this, how long have you been doing this?" Me, "5 hours."

I only had two rude girls tell me that they wanted a new balloon because they didn't like theirs anymore. And one girl proceeded to criticize my elephant and told me that his trunk was not long enough. Rude.

The highlight of the night was an ancient Middle Eastern woman who stole my chair and sat right next to me for almost an hour. She hardly spoke any English, but she and I were able to communicate that I was married to the handsome balloon wielding master next to me, and that I was pregnant. She told me that it's a boy. We'll see.

I am just about 6 months pregnant and have slowly started to amass the necessities I'll need for little Lancelot (boy or girl). And I have discovered that I really don't like baby clothes. Why are you not cute? Why do you have words on your chest remarking how spoiled you are? Why are you so gender specific? Why are you so big?! You mean this 1 pound fetus is going to come out of me weighing 8x that amount?

Happy 2013!
