Some Day I Must Get a Life

Not much of one, I'm not sure I could handle it.  But today I stooped to a new low or high depending on how you look at things in how I spend my day.  Connor is having a Star Wars themed birthday party and I spent HOURS crafting an awesome party invitation and I've posted it all over FB pimping it trying to get praise.  It has this picture in it. 

I was just so jazzed about finding Star Wars girl pictures that quite frankly, weren't porn, that I couldn't resist shouting to the masses.  Seriously, I know Geeks have been downtrodden for a long time and the Internet is their home court so to speak but DAMN!  I feel traumatized seeing a picture labeled Star Wars, Leia and Perky.  Honestly, I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw that.  Not what I intended when I was looking for some sort of feminine presence in the Star Wars Universe.  Really?!  Apparently silicone defies the laws of gravity in space too.  Impressive.

So I found positive girl Star Wars images!  Here's another one:
Not sure how I'm going to use it yet but I may throw it onto the cupcake wrappers.  We're having a very pro-female party but we will have 2 boys too.  So I will have to make sure they are included.  If nothing else I'll throw food at them and let them beat the Hell out of each other with the light sabers they make.  That's what I did for Teddy's Star Wars party when he was 6.  Some things are just timeless, like the little black dress.

I'm not including Teddy who is horror stuck to learn that he is expected to attend the festivities.  I told him I'm planning on him being the Cabana Boy.  Then Connor suggested he dress up as R2D2 in Episode VI when he was the drink server on Jabba's barge.  I laughed so much I swerved the car and snorted my spleen up into my nose.  As Teddy started wailing that his family sucked, Connor piped up again, "Um Mommy, who do you have to say thank you to?"  When the broad is right, she's right.  Thank you Connor for the best spit take I've had in a very long time!

Here's another image I found:


I am seriously digging this one.  I think though that I need to put the first one on a t shirt.  Connor wants one and I sure as Hell do too.  Cafepress.com here we come!

But the reason I need a life is because I am taking this all WAYYYYY TOOOO SERIOUSLY.  I almost got unhinged today at Discount Party Supply Warehouse when I saw they had Hannah Montana, High School Musical and that crappy last Indiana Jones movie theme and only 1 banner and some cups and napkins for Star Wars. 

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT CRAP?!

Discount Party Supply Warehouse, you suck.  More than a little. Well forget you.  I am no Youngling at Star Wars parties and I promise this one will be talked about in hushed awed voices for years...even without your stinkin' $9 a pack napkins.  Hannah Montana?  Really?  Is that show even still on?

So I'm pestering people for helping finding pool noodles and spending way too much time in Microsoft Word creating invitations, hunting down SW napkins, cups, and wristbands and began the Death Star Pinata building process.  What I did not do was call the realtor about them cancelling our inspection without telling me, pick up my script for blood pressure meds which I've been out of for 4 days, do the laundry or wash the dishes.  Ok.  Tomorrow I will be better.  Unless I hear back from the Etsy seller about the Hello Kitty Star Wars charm bracelet.  NERDVANA!!!! Here's a picture!
