We made a castle today.
The resident princess demanded I add a window for just this reason.
I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

After the promo was over I had the job of disassembling it and was told to take it out the back to the compactor. "We're going to trash it?" I said to my Manager, in disbelief that something this cool was destined for such a short life. "Can I have it?" I asked him.
He saw no reason why I couldn't (K-Mart were pretty funny about letting employees just take things, even those destined for the trash) so once all the pieces were back in the stock room I pulled my car around to the loading bay and one of the guys helped me fill my car with disassembled castle. 'Fill' being the operative word.
When my shift was over I drove around to my sister's house and said to her, "Do you remember that giant cardboard castle in K-Mart? Guess what I have in my car."
We set it up in the corner of her living room and cut a hole in one side for a door and it stayed there for months. My niece & nephew loved it :)
