Sources have informed me that I have been negligent in my blogging responsibilities of late. Normally I would protest and point to the handful of blogposts I've written in the last week as proof of my loving devotion to the blog, but alas it would all be a lie. While it's true that I keep typing words and pressing publish, it has been with all the passion of a burrowing cicada in year 8 of its 17-year life cycle.
I could blame it on the rain, but Milli Vanilli already did that and it didn't work out so well, so I will just accept responsibility for my sleep deprived posting and apologize profusely to you and to the entire universe for making you wait three whole days to read about Spencer's senior prom. I will make it up to you though, by blogging about it with a searing zeal that would put any newly awakened cicada to shame.
Spencer, the most dashing eighteen-year-old this world has ever known asked the fairest princess in the land, Jill-erella to accompany him to the final dance of his illustrious high school career. Some people call it "Prom", but at our house we just like to refer to it as "The King's Grand Royal Ball of the Century". No matter what you peasants call it, I just want it to be known that our young hero has set an unattainable standard to all peons who think they know how to creatively ask someone to a Grand Royal Ball of the Century.

Seriously! Who, but Spencer, would have ever thought to train entire ant armies in the special academy of cupcake writing? None, I tell you, none! He is the new standard for prom awesomeness.
After Jill-erella was irresistibly drawn to his creative culinary genius and agreed to accompany him (are you surprised?), ball planning went into full gear. And when I mean full gear, I mean literally 47 text messages per second being tossed around in group messages to the entire senior class. Spencer's phone literally buzzed for nine straight days and even now sometimes in the middle of the night I still think I hear it buzzing. But then I wake up and realize that it's only the sound of my own snoring waking me up again (got that from my dad).
Finally on Saturday, the big night arrived and all the plans fell into place. Catered Uno at a friend's house, a rented bus, pictures on the Potomac, the Royal Ball itself where they dazzled everyone with their gorgeousity, and finally breakfast at the Illustrious House of Pancakes, where I hear tell that they ate only caviar pancakes smothered with truffle sauce.
It was a dream come true.
Literally.
