We got lost coming home from my sister in law’s house the other day. We have made this trip numerous times and never had this problem! LOL! There is a circle on the way where you have to decide where to go, but we were in such intense conversation that we FORGOT which side to get off! HAHA!!! We went around like 6 times and FINALLY figured it out. What a great laugh this will be for a long time to come

For posterity
Recently I began a mission to record things for posterity in the form of scrapbooks and such. I also wanted to get children’s books with my son’s name in them. I think it’s a good idea to get children involved in what they are reading, and have something they can look back on and feel happily nostalgic. It would go in with his scrapbook. So far, I am nearly finished the one about me, then on to the one about his father. After that I will worry about getting all the digital pictures of him into a book. Fun fun stuff!
Trivia Night
Yesterday, in celebration of my grandmother’s birthday (RIP) I went out with my buddies Brenna and Lisa to their weekly trivia night up at:
There I was able to meet the lovely friends of Bren who I have heard about for years:
And meet up with an old friend I haven’t seen since like 1997:
Whereupon we had giggles and fits till the three rounds (and the final round) of trivia was over. AND WE WON!!! We were team “Why So Serious?” in honor of the new Batman movie.
We had honey hot wings, there was a beer tower (which I didn’t have any of), a few drinks around the table, a molten chocolate cake dessert with ice cream (mine MMMMM), and french fries. The food was really really good.
There was also the appearance of a hugemungous cicada who landed at the wrong table (next to us) where it was poked and prodded into a screaming fit by the people sitting there. It had fallen between the backboard and the immovable cusion of the bench seat. Poor cicada…dunno if he lived or not.
All in all a great night that only cost me 20 bucks Thanks to the Man for sticking it out at home with the Boy, I didn’t have to come back till we were truly done, but I still made it back around 12:30am. Hope I can go again soon!
