My wife decided to help a friend out and host a jewelry party. (Coming from Chicago because the “come to a party to buy stuff” market was saturated…Sorry to break it to you, but with Gold Canyon Candle, BeautiControl, Mary Kay, and Romdimpler’s Haberdashery, we’ve seen enough.)
My oldest daughter and I went out to eat (our usual McDonald’s) and then went to Bookman’s. Man, no Spirit or Watchmen. But I did get $11 on store credit on returned books. I am now starting to really see the perks of the library. If I want to read the book, chances are there’ll be students wanting to read the book. Pretty cool, and my 8 bookshelves can get a much-needed weeding.
The Old Part: I got my orthopedic inserts today. Someday when I’m not so sensitive about being the youngest person (besides my daughter) in the doctor’s office I will show you the monstrosity that is size 18 inserts. I’m not exaggerating about the old part. The woman in the next room told the doctor, “Well, I’ll probably die within the year or two so whatever happens happens and I won’t worry too much about pain.”
The Game Humor Part: Devin, you asked about games with humor. (Still haven’t sat down to download the Precipice demo yet.) There are a lot of inside jokes in Simpsons Hit and Run (one being the Matlock Expressway). My daughter got Fox in Socks (the actual book, not the psycho video).
And Mike – here’s today’s Star Wars parody.
Here’s how I celebrated being back home after the jewelry party:
The Haiku
No matter how much
Sugar is held in the bowl
Drink it anyways
