Secondly, I'm a slacker. I've already mentioned this very true point about myself, but this week's level of non-posting has surprised even ME.
Ay yi yi.
Not much happened this week, apart from Tuesday's festivities. It was truly a great birthday, when it came down to it.
I spent the day watching 24 (which I thrilled about), eating swedish hardtack crackers with butter (which I wanted), lounging around sans- pants (which I really wanted), and made Hungarian fare made predominantly with the only good kind of paprika in existence for dinner (which is my childhood favorite).
I'm a little opinionated when it comes to things like paprika, dessert, grated cheese, and vanilla, in case you didn't know.
Later that night Mr. Pihl surprised me with this:
And then we got to chat with my folks:
Which was awesome, save for our poor connection. Every sixth word spoken by my mother was silent. Also - I swear their cats could hear B because they kept making small appearances in the screen, trying figure out where the tasty chirping treat was located.
Cats.
I don't understand them.
Give me a pup any day.
Anywhoodle, tonight we're headed out to (what I'm suspecting will be) a darn awesome fundraiser. Mr. Pihl's aunt and cousin are raising money for their 3-Day Walk for a Cure in the form of a massive shindig.
And I do mean massive.
It's taking place in the same (massive) Pihl shop building as our wedding. It's going to be nuts! They've created a night that will include a DJ, cocktail hour, some darn amazing BBQ, and a silent auction.
Mr. Pihl and I swung by last night to lend a hand. It's so fun to see our people help each other out! I love it.
Here are some of the shots from setup:

| The cabbage shredding station for the best coleslaw in the world! BTW - this was where I was helping last night. My help had to be cut short when I managed to slice my finger open on the aluminum lids to the containers. I'm a genius, I know. Oh, and no cabbage was compromised in the process of my numbskulled-ness. |

What are your weekend plans?
