Slow down and whatnot.

Despite the awful state of affairs across the big pond, life in rosalicious' world is pretty swell.

Albeit BUSY. As shit.

Yesterday evening, despite the HEAT (damn straight...it is HOT here!) Kev and I, along with Lucy and neighbor Alex (missing his lovely wife who unfortunately got held up at a press check), biked down to Sloan's Lake Park to have a picnic and listen to the Symphony.

We feasted on wine, berries, goat cheese, bread, bruschetta, chicken salad, pasta salad, and potato salad. And Mary Jane made an appearance, naturally. We're not that grown-up and sophisticated.

We witnessed a marriage proposal that was late (they missed the music) but very sweet. And also very public. I clapped and woo-hooed for them.

Lucy enjoyed pulling Kevin up the hill home on his bike. Her sled dog instincts kicked in. I huffed and puffed on my own bike to give her something to chase. Our dog is obviously not a pack leader.

This evening we have more summery fun at Jenn and Yoni's new house. It's in our neighborhood! I'm so excited!

Tomorrow Em comes down to hang out, Megan got a job (Go Lusty Lee!), and a night of trashy debauchery awaits for Heather's bachelorette party on Saturday night. I might be showing some boob (but swearing I am not going to drink too much and get sick and puke).

Hang on to your panties, kids. That's pootin' panties to you, Meggers.
