Ewwwwwww!!!!

Okay, I have to set this up properly...and it's more funny than anything else so don't be deterred by the heading!

So I've gotten very lazy with meals over the past couple of months - lots of grab and go, with Xander's dance classes being very late. Lots of pre-packaged stuff...I'm working on trying to get back in a healthier state - body and mind, and so I wandered over to the local small grocery store to buy fresh stuff for a stir fry. I was surprised by how quick it was to throw together, and so yummy - chicken stir fry with fresh broccoli and carrots, over rice. Being in a grand mood, and proud of myself too, I decided to sit on our front porch to enjoy dinner. We have no tables or chairs - we're right downtown and if it isn't locked up or bolted down, it gets stolen within days, but the porch steps are lovely, and I'm under a roof (this is important). I'm watching a happy squirrel in the apple tree, knowing I should chose him away, but letting him romp. Dinner is fabulous! Amazing! So good, I return to the kitchen to add a wee bit more to my plate (and Xander's, though his is sans veggies). This takes some doing as I have to navigate the baby gate that's across the doorway to keep the dog in, whilst not treading on said dog.
So I get back outside, and just settle in for another yummy bite when...

Splat!!!!

Bird poop all over me and my plate! Well, only my legs and one corner of the plate, but still! So much for my lovely dinner al fresco! I never saw the dropper, and I was firmly under the roof, so maybe he had some opinion to offer about my choice of dinner...or my eating location.

unbelievable! But at least I had enjoyed a full portion...maybe he was commenting that I didn't really need seconds...

I had to laugh. Well, put on a fresh skirt, clear my plate (into the garbage, much to Share's dismay), and then have a great, loud belly laugh. Because how crazy silly is that? And then I had to come here and write it sown because just as IT happened, I was plotting what to write about my lovely dinner here.

And shortly I'll be off to a choir drop-in to sing rounds and fun songs with the next best group of people I could think of singing with!
