Such a nice day...

elfsYesterday, the girls and I trooped out to OLOTEAS for the monthly ritual. I had agreed to meet Yamaraashi-chan's mother there and transfer the kidlet over to her after the ritual so they could go to the Pride parade tomorrow. Omaha and I are boycotting Pride this year; we're a little tired of watching the Seattle Gay Pride Foundation attack other queer groups for using the word "pride," which they claim they own and have trademarked and so on and so forth. Bleah!
Although the week had started rainy and wet, Saturday was scorching hot. I let the kids have slurpees. We hurtled to Oloteas and dove into the pool, where Kouryou-chan spent the entire afternoon trying to give me a heart attack by doggie-paddling the width of the pool. Yamaraashi-chan spent the afternoon claiming she was drown-proof, which didn't make me feel any better.
I had a lot of fun, and the ritual was wonderful. Even Kouryou-chan, who normally gets antsy halfway through the ceremony, thought this one was fun. Dinner was yummy. Potlucks can be scary but this one was great, even if it was mostly fruit and chicken. Hey, those are good for you.
I tried to flirt, too, and it didn't work. I'm a terrible flirt, even when others are obviously flirting at me, and I don't take it seriously enough. I don't believe in flirting without intent, and quite frankly my life is so hectic and stressed right now that I'm not allowing myself to flirt with intent. Pity, there were a number of very lovely women there, and two or three guys caught my eye as well. Sigh. Guess I'm just old and parental.
