Bahst'n Here We Come

Off to Bahst'n today for a dose of comedy at the play "Laughing Liberally", playing tonight at Jimmy Tingle's. Before the play we're eating the Yankee version of Southern food at Red Bone's.

I'm nervous to leave the girl Rottie, even though she is showing some improvement, because she is still limping. Honey assures me she will be fine, and I'm sure she will, but mamas worry. Even mamas to just furkids.

There is a fireworks extravaganza headed our way - honey went in with some friends and bought mad loads of fireworks yesterday (big ones, some nice mortars and rockets and full scale shimmers and pounds and pounds of other fancy stuff) at wholesale from a guy who is dismantling his fireworks business. He did this as a "surprise" (In guy speak, this means he didn't feel like running it by me because he knew the answer would not be to his liking. This is sometimes referred to by the guys as "better to ask forgiveness than permission"). He was surprised when I did not get upset, but did tell him if he thought he was lighting those off anywhere near girl Rottie (fireworks are one of her only fears - she shakes, trembles, whimpers, tries to hide her fat ass under the couch, can't sleep, etc) after how sick she's been he was dreaming.

He had to acknowledge that would, in fact, be cruel, so he conferred with his buddies and found a solution. Buddy who has 27 acres in the middle of BFE Cow Hampshire right on a lake. Can you say fireworks barge on the fourth and grandma and grandpa babysitting the grandRotties? Awesome. Toss that in with a town wide barbecue on the third (Honey's birthday is the third. He'll be 34) and some other stuff and July is shaping up to start off with a bang.

So, anyway, the guys are coming over to sort out their massive piles of fireworks and confirm with Other buddy that he's up for the fourth, really, and wasn't just feeling drunk and generous yesterday, and I'm off to give girl Rottie the first handful of antibiotics for today. Thank goodness for peanut butter.
