Wii

Lucas punched me last night. He actually knocked me out... twice.

We were playing our new Nintendo Wii. We boxed. I don't think that I've ever boxed before, and it shows. My punches are weak, my aim inaccurate, my dodging skills are definitely lacking. But, my arms hurt today. So does my tennis elbow. Real life tennis need hand-eye coordination, something I've never been that great with. You need it with Wii Tennis too. Though occasionally I do win at Tennis. Golf on the other hand, I think I have a natural talent for... my follow through is grand!

I must go practice my boxing. I think I might need to buy some Gatorade!

Big News

Here we are in Prague. We became VERY good at "self-portrait" pictures... who knows maybe one will make a Holiday Card!

And here's the big news: We're PREGNANT!! We started telling everyone this weekend. And it's made Suzi's blog, so I figured I better put it on mine too! I decided not to post the picture of the pregnancy test... yes we took one (or maybe 2). We found out in Prague. What a great souvenir. We are assuming we are about 6-8 weeks along. Hopefully I'll have a doctor's visit in the upcoming week.

FINALLY I'll have something to blog about on a regular basis... no longer do I have to wait for random and odd things to happen in life... now I can just write about this! (I knew I started a blog for a reason!)

I'm back...

What a wonderful trip! It was worth the 24 hour travel time. We had a lot of fun in Prague, Vienna and Budapest. I'm currently downloading my 250 pictures (not an exaggeration).

Here are a few things I've missed while I was away:

• Milk
• conditioner (I didn't pack shampoo or conditioner for space reasons, hotels only give you crappy non-sudsing shampoo... OH how my hair loved the conditioner last night)
• drinkable tap water.
• Not having to pay for water at restraurants. (paying 3 dollars for .3l of icky mineral water)
• Being able to read signs for directions
• Eavesdropping on ENGLISH conversations!
• Of course, family and friends.

We are off to the farmer's market... once my pictures are ready, I'll try (again) to post a picture or two... promise not the 250! Those you'll have to wait for the album for!

while I'm gone

I'm living in a grand state of denial/procrastination. I leave for Europe, let's call it my P.V.B. tour (Prague, Vienna, Budapest), in less that 48 hours. I have MUCH to do, including throwing a baby shower this afternoon. I'm actually making a list of things I need to do (I never make lists), and including such menial things as : take a shower, feed cats, by gum.

But as I'm SURE everything will get done. I also enjoy good procrastination. So, I thought that while I'm gone, I should maybe state some of my favorite games to play on the Internet, so you too can delay work, sleep, and/or productive time.

At work when there's "down time", which didn't happen at ALL last night, I frequent yahoo games. here's where I think you should go.

• For fun word games try: Text Twist, Spellbound, or Crossword
• For puzzle games try: Rocket Mania or Be Trapped (very similar to minesweeper)
• For card games, my new favorite is: Addiction Solitaire (and it IS)

OK, that's a start, all these games don't require evil downloading, and are all great ways to waste hours of time.
