Crafting When You Least Expect It

This past weekend we went to see Buffet at Toyota Park.  Despite the crazy heat (it didn't help that we were sitting in a parking lot), we had a great time tailgating beforehand.  Our friend Christy was nice enough to handle all of the decorating and preparation- including a kiddie pool, sand, tent, grill, food, beer, and...the essential $0.99 full-assembly-required-glow-in-the-dark lei.  There's nothing better than doing a "craft" at a Buffet concert, although I had a bit of trouble with it at first. I seemed to be missing a few connectors (go ahead...make a joke):

 While Christy had no trouble at all and got it right the first time:

After a little searching, the connectors were finally found and we had a great night.  As cheesy as Jimmy Buffet is, there's just something about him that makes you want to relax, spend time with friends, and just enjoy the little things.  Although I think I might have an easier time doing that more often if I lived in paradise...so now when are we moving to Key West? Maui?  Anywhere that doesn't turn to ice in a few months?  I can dream I guess...
