The pink and turquoise are getting to me!!

Day 8 of the Great Adventure, Performance Day 5

I really paid attention today, and my worst fears were confirmed: the majority of the children under a certain age in the West Fargo area are victims of a massive conspiracy. One that threatens the sanity of one helpless turtle pusher. As I trundle about the Fair all I see are pink tops, pink dresses, turquoise T-shirts and turquoise short sets. (Hoolia thinks it's kewl since those are her favorite colors, but Denice is getting paranoid.)

I have let the zombie conspiracy go since it's obviously influenced by too many zombie movies (none of which I watch, but since I live in this county I can't help but hear about). So the newest theory involves secret government mind control and ICBM's. Oh, and prairie dogs.

I'm still working on it.

Animal has added that she noticed a lot of purple and lilac. She suggests that the melding of colors is a sign of melting in the hot sun. (Melding/melting...)

Huh.

So, today.

Kay was back with us, this time accompanied by two sisters (both in pink!) We put wings on Kay and made her an assistant fairy. She chose the name Tulip. She also kept hugging Hoolia, partly because she knew she looked cute doing it and partly because when she hugged Hoolia the owl would tell her she loved her very much.

I have determined that I will not let Kay know the real person behind the curtain. Let her have her magic for a while longer.

We also ran into Wyatt for awhile.

We did two two-hour stints today. One earlier, took a long break and then the second after 5pm. We were trying to beat the heat, but I'm not sure we managed. I sweated up a storm. So much so that I was actually dripping. I don't drip! so you know it was hot. Thank goodness I wear a sweat band and have a mister (no, not that kind of mister - although Mr. Hugh Jackman would be most welcome!) so I can spray myself with cool water mixed with witch hazel. (I'm going to let the witch hazel joke just slide away.)

Got back to the hotel, jacuzzed (is that a word? Doesn't matter. It is now.) and ate dinner and am now blogging.

Btw, there's a chance to see Auroras tonight and possibly tomorrow. If you're experiencing some static on your phone or tv it's because the CME is reacting with the earths magnetic field. Hope it's clear where you are. If yes check and see if you have a chance to see the pretty colors in the sky.
