dancing when the stars go blue

I have a laundry angel.

This is the second time someone has put my clothes into the dryer, without even using the washing machine I was using! Amazing. And here I thought laundry etiquette was long forgotten. Thank you, my laundry godmother/father for not leaving my washing to stink in the machine.

Anyway Sheares Dinner & Dance was yesterday. I enjoyed myself very much actually, considering I heard that there were a lot of problems. I quite liked the decor of the place. They had these tree-like things that held candles and the ambience was good. Food was rather yummy for $50, I mean it was about the same standard as my prom at Hyatt and I paid $63 for that one. The ballroom even had 4 projector screens so that people not facing the stage could still see what was going on.. Very thoughtful of them.

But the highlight of the night though had to be the costumes. From mama-sans to Goths to Alice in Wonderland and even the Queen of Hearts, it was just so entertaining to see people dressed up. I'll try to post some photos, if I ever manage to learn how to :)

All in all, a wonderful night indeed with much laughter and merry-making. Plus Mr & Ms Sheares were my very own block people, Lydia and Samuel =) didn't really expect them to win honestly, but their answers for the Q&A segment were the best, so congratulations!

Wide as the Gas Grill

A couple had been married 10 years. One afternoon, they were working in the garden together. As the wife was bending over pulling weeds, the husband said "Hey honey, you're getting fat. Your butt is huge. I'll bet it's as wide as the gas grill."

Feeling the need to prove his point, he got out a yard stick and measured the grill, then his wife's butt.

"Yep," he said, "just what I thought, just about the same size."

The wife became mad and left him gardening alone.She went inside the house and didn't speak to him for the rest of the day. When they retired to bed that evening, the husband cuddled up to his wife and said, "How about it, honey? How about a little lovemaking?"

The wife turned her back to him, giving him the cold shoulder.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

She replied, "You don't think I'm going to fire up this big ass grill with your little match stick, do you?"
