Bored

It is Spring Break. By 7:12 AM on Monday, I had already heard the words 'I'm bored'. Awesome.

I immediately banned the word 'bored' from our Spring Break vocabulary and by Tuesday was asked: What is another word for bored? Seriously.

If being bored includes eating at a Food Network featured restaurant, Sunday dinner at Grammy's, three trips to the pool, a spring training baseball game, an afternoon at the cousin's house and a 6.5 hour play date with a friend...well then yes, I can see the trouble.

Today's boring adventure started on our local light rail. The mass transit gods smiled upon us as we ran into three generous friends finishing their own boring excursion with most of the day left on their all day passes. Score!

Past experience with public transportation has taught us that it can be a Who's Who in mental health. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves riding with celebrities. Lady May spotted P-Diddy, Bruno Mars and Sean Kingston riding with us. As it turns out, she believes all African American males in sunglasses qualify as Sean John, Puffy, Puff Daddy, P-Diddy, Diddy Dirty Money, Whatevertheheckhisnameisnow, Combs. I know this because we ran into him later in the day. Twice.

Our first stop was at an ice cream joint downtown I had read carried Lappert's ice cream. THE Lappert's ice cream!!! Sadly, we discovered this is no longer so; however, they do have a delicious habenero peach sorbet worth trying. After our less than Lappert's licks, we trudged back to the train for our next stop, a vintage sweets and novelty shop.




While there, we took a turn in the photobooth:


We left the Celestial Kingdom of candy with red stripped paper bags of licorice, bubble gum, silly buttons, Bit-O-Honey, a spyglass, and a switchblade comb, which the Squire used to threaten Lady May with all the way home. Incessant shrieking leads me to believe she can indeed be threatened by a comb {mental note}. She can also take some pretty cool pictures when you're unaware:


Yep, it was a totally boring day.

Translation: Loads of fun!
