“What I have been doing on my Christmas break”
Not in particular order:
- Been eating close to a dozen cookies a day. I may have aquired TFTCFE (temporary fatness that comes from eating).
- Staying in my PJ’s until whenever we come up with a good reason to leave the house, and then not putting any make-up on or even brushing my hair!
- Watched Bible-man about 200x, Batman begins (covering Jack’s eyes a bunch of times during that freaky-scarecrow-insanity-mask-thing) and Transformers.
- Played viola some…dug out Augie’s fiddle that doesn’t even have strings and tried to imagine/pretend what it would be like to play a teeny fiddle again (it’s almost 6″ shorter and felt like a feather!). I need $300 to restore it and be the first one to fire it up in a good 30-40 years. All donations gratefully accepted.
- Played ‘don’t break the ice’ and Thomas the choo-choo for hours, while Sam went on a 3-day “pants strike”. By the way, the game should be called ‘break the ice’ because Sam smashes it all and declares victory!
- Played the screaming damsel in distress as this thing chased me and fired rockets. Jack scored it on clearance with this gift card from grandpa. I didn’t really realize how dang scary and militaristic it was. Sam and I avoid Bob and Jack when they are in charge if it. I predict a future blog post about this toy and how it gained artificial intellegence and turned on us…like any good robot horror movie.
- Confirmed our suspicion that Sam has motion sickness midway from Grandma’s…you don’t want to know the details, but it involved a hefty bag, a truck stop bathroom bubble bath and a lot of improvising.
- I’m supposed to to on a date..but my date is not feeling well. So, I may just stay in with N.S.E.C.T. and see what havoc we can wreak on the house.
Happy New Year!!!
Tradition demands that someone now state “I for one welcome our future robotic overlords.”
