My Tribe is a Bunch of Weirdos

A nice battle against a hoard of escaped elementals: what did you do with your day?

Yes, my friends and family all played Pathfinder.

At Last

Let it be know, that on this day--the thirty-first of January, A.D. 2013--I did beat Super Mario Brothers 3. I did so without using a whistle.

And you know what? I value video games. They fuse you with the soul of perseverance.

Big-boned

Adam: "I'm not fat! I'm big-boned!" Me: "And how are those big bones treating you?" Adam: "They make me feel fat."

Dedication to a Useless Cause

A thoroughly enjoyable sick day. After a mere twenty years, I may soon be able to beat Mario Brothers 3.

He Married the Wrong Girl

Best line from yesterday--Adam: "That's just how I like my women; non-lethal."

The Conspiracy Continues

Z: Mommy, how does Santa get in da house without us hearing? We have no fireplace!
Me: He knocks and I let him in. After all, I have to wrap the presents he brings.
Z: Whaaaaa?
Me: A few years back he decided to cut cost, and so he brings the presents and we wrap them. That's why the wrapping paper is the same.
Z: Ohhhh. Smart.

Smart indeed.

If I Had Poise I Could Be a Tea-snob, But No . . . I'm Just a Tea-nut.

Got a nice box of new teas to try in the mail today. Yes. I'll be here grinning all evening.

An EMERGENCY, Really.

Z: Mom! Mommy! We only have ONE MORE cutie orange!
Me: Yes, I know. Is that a request?
Z: No! That's a PROBLEM!

Work, Work, Work

I asked V today to help me out my making sandwiches for him and his brother. As we were sitting down to eat his gave me a nice dramatic sigh and said, "I'm such a SLAVE around here. I had to make my own sandwich." I just at there and stared at him for a while because I had no idea how to respond.

After that I laughed and told him to go scrub the toilet.

Halloween

That's Dan from Baukugan being eaten by a tiger.

Cold Snap

It's an absolutely frozen day. But I have layers. I have a deep need to get outside. So I took my hour walk anyways. The golden yellow leaves on the white frost/snow and gray ground? Beautiful, beautiful! Life means more when you can stop to enjoy it.
