Fuzzy Flip-Flops and Hawaiian Dreams
I was up late last night finishing off the stitches on my fuzzy pink flip-flops. Why? Because today is "Mid-winter Madness - Hawaiian Style" at the library. We've been wearing flower leis all week to promote it. So today, while it is a balmy 38 degrees outside, I am wearing a short sleeve, hot pink shirt, jean capris and matching pink flip-flops. I must have looked crazy walking from my car into the building.
We are having a limbo contest, hula instruction, beach blanket bingo, ice cream cone cupcakes, punch, prizes, crafts. We decorated the library with beach towels, Hawaiian posters, flowers, "Aloha" balloons, palm trees. We rented a helium tank to fill about a hundred balloons and my immediate desire (yes, even as an adult it can happen!) was to suck the helium from that first balloon. I decided for the sake of my unborn child that it might not be such a wise thing to do, but the longing was still there.
The sun is indeed shining today and if you lay in the window sills you might be able to soak it in a little. It's a nice fantasy and a good break from the winter blahs. I just wish that I could walk barefoot in the sand and watch as the sun set this evening. Well, I could...but it might not be very enjoyable as my feet turned a shade of blue. Maybe in another three months.

Watch out doing the limbo (I thought that was from the Caribbean) -- don't want you going into premature labor right there in the library.
Hope all your patrons and visitors enjoy the party.
I think you so need to post a picture. I bet you look really cute. What a great morale booster do something like that at work.
Hope you had a good day!

I've never heard of icecream cone cupcakes but they sound scrumptious!
Sounds like fun was had by all!
I couldn't take a picture. My camera's packed away somewhere. I guess I'll just have to dress up again, though by then I probably won't be able to fit into my capri pants.
I'm so old I can remember when all libraries were for was books. But my daughter's library does these promotional things too.
New home, new baby ... take care of your self, you have a lot going on. Pamper yourself a bit in all these activities.
