How has your holiday been? Ours has been laid back and such. I haven't felt all that peachy, so we've taken to keeping our persons relaxed and groovy for a few days.
I missed out on a fantastic party last night, I am guessing. My fabulous new bloggie friends had a party, and I was not well. Boo. Neighbors down the block had a little festivus brewing as well. We stopped in for a few minutes, but then the fellows started up a game of drunken Stump. My ill feelings and want of keeping my limbs were the deciding factors in our departure.
Stump is apparently a game of lumberjack skill and daring. Each person puts a nail partially into a stump. You toss a hammer up into the air, catch it, and then whack at an opponent's nail in one thwack. The person with the tallest nail (and presumably all of their digits or cranial parts) is the winner. Egad.
Today we met up with a comedian baby stroller posse. Our friends Eddie Gosling and Megan Mooney were in town for Megan's headlining debut at Comedy Works. We laughed and marveled at their little boy running around the playground. Wasn't it just yesterday that we were all bowling and childless? Crazy. Our buddy Josh Blue's wife Yuko brought their 10 week old munchkin as well. I guess Amos has joined a legion of kids who are now the funniest children in Denver - or at least, must live up to that reputation. Poor Amos.
Tomorrow, we will take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the annual Comedy Works picnic. It is always entertaining and full of mirth. I traditionally force random comedians to tell me a story, and whoever tells the best one gets an imaginary prize. Perhaps this year I will give them bratwurst. Tomorrow is also the debut of Amos at the picnic, since I was about the size of a whale at 37 weeks or so pregnant this time last year. Should I dress him in a frilly petticoat and tiara?
Hope your weekend has been a blast.

7 beautiful people muttered something back:
How did you know I bought Amos a petticoat and tiara? He's going to be the belle of the ball, that's for sure.
You did miss out on a super fun party... but we missed out on seeing you! I was so looking forward to seeing you again, and meeting the fam. Some other time soon, I hope. :) Amos will be the star of the show, I'm sure...Please post photos of the ensemble, be it petticoat/tiara or not. ;)
So I'm trying the nickname gimmick now, hope it works out.
My experience today was the equivalent of tossing hammers in the air, whacking yourself in the noggin, and driving a nail into your skull, so I understand your desire to escape that situation. Of course, if you sang the lumberjack song, that would have been super.
A comedian baby stroller posse. Why am I envisioning a line of gold-chain-wearing kids blowing kazoos and sticking a foot out to trip anyone who crosses their path? This seems like what a posse of comedians' kids would do, doesn't it? Maybe catcall a few women, too.
My son won a magical blue wand that he can contribute to Amos' princess fairydom. It cost me ten dollars and ten years from my life. So yeah, my weekend has been a blast, haha.
Dammit, I knew it was too long.
We were at Chuck E Cheese!
Wow, you rub shoulders with the great ones. I love Josh Blue, he's frickin hilarious. That stump game sounds like a better one to spectate than participate. It would be nice to know that my husband's repro parts would still be there in the aftermath given the fact that I may want another one.
Hope you're feeling better for tomorrow!
(laughing at Amanda's analogy of a day at Chuck E Cheese)
Sorry you got the crud for the big holiday weekend. I'm sure there will be many more jovial barbecues and tiara opportunities to come. I can picture Amos tossing up a hammer in the future - winning all kinds of dubloons for you :)
That sounds like one interesting game. I hope there is not drinking involved...I could just imagine a drunken lumberjack!
