DD decided she wants an intimate party... just her sister, and me, there. Today she is 18!
We went to a fancy grocery store, where dd chose a fancy cake, and many fancy ivory and gold candles... so pretty!
I think this will be more of a photo op for her. DD hasn't really been chipper and outgoing since COVID.
I think she's getting what she wants though.

Aw, LIghter, Happy, Happy Birthday to DD! Give her a big birthday hug from us. Intimate parties are the best, especially when there's fancy cake! Have a really lovely time. Gosh your girls are so grown up now. Is 18 a really big celebration there or is that more 21st? We kind of do both here, and then it's the decade milestones after that. Have a really lovely day xx

Yes, Tupp. 18th BD is official adult BD. Of course, she can't officially drink, though she can serve in the armed forces or become a sex worker, which honestly.... would warrant a drink, IMO.
Not that she's entertaining the sex worker career. She has considered the armed forces, however.
Her photos from last night are amazing.... really came out carny circus from the 1920s.... maybe. So cool.
I'll respond to your other posts... I don't have enough time to do them justice right now. The Pug awaits her outdoor shower with Grandma!
And it is gloooooooorrrrriouse today. Just windy and mild and breezy and I can't get he smile off my face! SO HAPPY to be busy... enjoying everything I do. No worries, and normally I'd be all uptight about kitchens and bathrooms being pristine.

All will be well, and my mind is nowhere close to worrying about housework... I have lots packed to go... enjoying that a lot.
I went to Hopey this morning, for more fresh mozzarella to pair with OHIO tomatoes, warm off the vine, and they told me I couldn't get in yet... only the elderly and pregnant women. I was about to beg for my order to be handed to me when they guy said... "Sorry, just 55 and older" hee.
I pranced on in, happy to be right on time, and mistaken for younger... I think the fact I park so far away, to older people and women with children can take the closer spots, he assumed I was younger. Also.... lots of dancing in the car going on.
Only 5 cheese balls left... so I got them, then found a few GF items.
I have to tell you... rest is more important... deep sleep.... than getting the house perfect. It's like a shift happened while I was sleeping.... my brain just clicked into another gear....
slower, happier, less OCD gear.
I also think the Island Guests not contacting me for an entire day helped.

I'm glad everything is looking so good, Lighter, and that DD enjoyed her birthday. Yes, consent ages are odd here as well - you can join the Army at 16 but you can't get a tattoo or buy yourself a pint? I suppose where they've made different laws at different times society's been different. They could probably do with reviewing a lot of stuff (although they probably all have more important things to worry about just now :) ). Did Pug enjoy her shower? xx

Tupp:
Pug doesn't enjoy shower or bath time. She endures them; )
Time to have her shaved. She almost had a heat stroke on the forest trails the other day.
We wet her down and carried her, bc she collapsed. So scary. All better now. She needs her summer shave.
