"You may be right, I may be crazy. But it just might be a lunatic you're looking for." Why do the words of this song keep replaying over and over in my head? Is it because:
A. a hundred and fifty people are coming over to our garage for pancakes and sausage in 18 short days? (Fash's graduation breakfast open house)
B. we can't even fit our cars in our garage (what on earth were we thinking)!?!
C. I.T. has spent the past week living in our 30 something cement pond trying to renovate it in time for the par-tay? (pool paint arrived via UPS today)
D. noone will even be swimming on pancake day anyway?
E. suddenly every time I stand in our front entryway I say out loud, "have we really been living with this color for thirteen years????" (purchased paint yesterday)
F. only Sunday did we come up with an alternative window covering for our bathroom besides the Christmas tablecloth that Mrs. Tidsay gave us for a wedding gift, folded in eighths, held in place by mooshing the top edge down in between the window part and the screen part. (what is wrong with this family)
G. if I don't get going, I'll be late for work- again.
H. someone is ringing our doorbell at 1 a.m. on Saturdays, then running off while we fire up the search lights and shake in our slippers.
Or is it simply because I spoke those very same words to I.T. years ago, under the light of the silvery moooooon. Hey! Did you know that lunatic actually means something about walking under the moon- in Russian? Uh huh. And walking under the moon is not necessarily crazy. In fact, taking a long walk under the moon to the end of the earth is sounding pretty good right about now.
This is all going to be fine. All going to work out just grand. Pancakes, sausage, monkey bread, fruit, coffee, juice.....we can do this. We'll do it for Fash. Because we love her and adore her. We can have a pretty party in our garage. Yes. Yes we can. And the pool will be looking sa-weet, if anyone cares to peek out back at that. Maybe.
Hope everyone is well in blogland! And if you are in the Michigan area June 5th- pancakes at our place.
See you soon!
