I did not turn into a pumpkin

I did however turn into an Oompa Loompa. Well, when I scanned the picture in it got all scrunched up making me look waaaaaay wider and much shorter than I am. DevilDoc had his Corpsman Ball this weekend and we were lucky enough to coax a babysitter into watching Pookins and Magoo. It was a nifty evening; there was lots of testosterone, adult beverages and baked Alaska. Yes, that's right...dessert was baked Alaska and DevilDoc has found his new favorite thing. He was just in awe of the concoction. Me...eh, whatever. It was dessert.

Another pic that someone at the ball took; DevilDoc looks "googly" or constipated or something, doesn't he? SIDENOTE: And I have "moon face" thanks to prednisone; thank you makers of oral steroids...I appreciate the weight gain and incessant hunger.

One of DevilDocs junior guys received a special command coin in recognition of being awarded a Purple Heart. The kid is a Purple Heart recipient at the age of 21 (maybe 22?)! He's not even a Petty Officer yet...though he should be in my book; Purple Heart should be a meritorious promotion. I digress, sorry!

It's not everyone of course, but you get the gist.

And of course Sunday was Father's Day. Since I totally suck and suprises I had already given DevilDoc his present; a Wii and Wii Fit. He has since bought 5 games, an extra controller, extra nunchuk and 2 steering wheels. His birthday is in July; he'll be getting a macrame plant holder or the like from the Pookins and Magoo summer camp adventures! He also received a lovely handmade card and a garden tile with 2 little handprints. There were tears. We went off to Waikiki for the day and had brunch at the Cheesecake Factory (his choice) and then stopped by the Hale Koa to hang at the pool. A relaxing and fun filled family day.

We also stopped to look at cars on the way home. I test drove the Mazda5; I just LOVE that little thing. They didn't have one on the lot that was exactly what I wanted but the sales guy was gonna go on a hunt for one. There was a gorgeous CX=9 though, wooo-weeeee it sure was purty! Still trying to hold out on another vehicle though, we'll see what happens when we start riding TheBus.
