Jumping on the bed...

I had a good day yesterday. It started out pretty normal. Saturday at home..sipping coffee etc.. But in the afternoon I went to one of those Makeup Hen parties. Ya know, the kind where you flip through the catalog of endless dollar signs and reasons why you need to buy their product. I was dead set on not spending a penny. Which, more often than not, I can do without hesitation. However, this one had some delectable lip glosses that I couldn't pass up. My lips never looked so tasty... Anyway, in acquiring my lip candy, I followed the sales woman back to her home in Redmond. She has this beautiful house, northeast of town. Huge grassy lawns and one of those wrap around porches for lazy hot summer evenings. Drool escaped my lips...
She took us, me and my daughter, around to the back where she had these huge cages. They were full of toddler toys and ropes for swinging and climbing. The inhabitants of these jungle gyms, Capuchin monkeys. The most adorable little things. She gave us marshmallows to feed them while she explained how she came to raise them. My questions began to flow, as they usually do with something that peaks my interest, and asked if I could write about them. She said I could come out anytime and take pictures and question her about the arrival of her friends. Their history and what makes up their individual personalities. She is an interesting woman. In talking with her, she shared a lot of other facts about her life. I have an appointment with her this next weekend, for other reasons, but she said she would give me some more info when I see her.

I never expected my day to turn out that way. And...I got to sum it all up with dinner at my moms.
