Whack-A-Mole and other favorites

Friday evening I went out to my sister's house (http://westragang.blogspot.com) to watch Julie & Julia and play with the kids. I know I'm almost 30 years old, but I had a ball crouching on the floor and playing a game with each of the kids. Guess Who with Isabel was fun. She accused me of using Ruby to cheat when I won. Like grandpa, like granddaughter. Don't play Monopoly with Daddy!

Ruby and I played Whack-A-Mole. Now I know this game is for 3 year olds, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! Great for blowing off frustrations! Still, I hope Evan was joking when she said she was getting it for me for my birthday.

Dillon, not to be left out, introduced me to the gem that is Feed the Kitty. Not to be confused with Chuck the Chog. Oh to be so little and so easily entertained!

So I had a good time. It almost broke my heart when both the girls told me they don't see enough of me. I think I'm going to have to rectify that!

Cold!

It's currently 52 degrees in my office. This is how we deal.

Oh the weather outside is frightful

It's currently -11 with a brisk wind out of the East. My brother-in-law's grandparents have the right idea - Arizona for the winter!

I only have one more Christmas gift to buy! I ordered the kid's today, it should be here sometime next week. Now if only I could get up the gumption to finish decorating...

Ahem

I turn 30 in exatly 105 days. 30. Years old. I remember my dad's 30th birthday party. It had a little kids theme with pop guns and coloring books. This is precisely what I DON'T want for my 30th birthday. I want to go to Plonk with my girlfriends. I want to nibble at an over priced cheese board while I sip some "elegant" wine. I would like very much for my sister to join us - hint hint, Evan!

That is all. Carry on.

Really Trully

I'm really trully back to blond! Yay! Never again will I let one of my friends talk me into dying my hair dark!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. I'm just tonight starting the process of Christmas decorating. It's going to take a while because I'm trying to clean out my cupboards, book cases, drawers, etc. while I'm at it.

Tomorrow starts another busy week. Hope you have a good one!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here's hoping everyone has a happy Thanksgiving. Eat lots of turkey and too much pumpkin pie. And then take a nap in the sunny spot.

RIP Froggers

I came home from work the other night to find aquarium rocks strew across the livingroom and my frog tank shattered. Needless to say, the frogs didn't survive the cat-astrophic impact of ice berg Suki. Or Rory. I still haven't figured out who knocked them to the floor. Either way, Jose and Raule didn't last a month. No more amphibians for me!
