Tuesday: Misc. stuff

1. Greetings.
2. Yesterday I played City of Heroes. I decided I'm not a fan. It isn't as pretty as Warcraft. It also seemed like a lot of killing and not a other stuff. It seems funny to base a game on how pretty it is, but I find I do it a lot. It must be the feminine side of me.
3. Well, I managed to pull a groin muscle today. While I wish I could say something cool like I did it while exercising, I think I did it while sitting down. I got up at one point and it really hurt.
4. I have a ton of laundry to fold. It wouldn't be so bad if it was the normal amount, but it seems like extra. Especially with extra new clothes and stuff the baskets are heaping. I suppose this isn't something that I should be complaining about though...
5. I'm supposedly bumped from the raid tonight. I sometimes wonder if it's a problem that I'm so happy when bumped. Maybe it's just because we've done this stuff kind-of a lot now.
6. In an effort to not do anything else, I took a bunch of picture of Flurry. This was the cutest.

Sunday: A nice nap

Well, today was a lot like yesterday except we went to church and I took a longer nap.

I kind of want to include a picture since I haven't for a while, but I also don't want to get up. Oh! I'll include an oldie-but-goodie.

This is a much younger Amanda

Saturday

Hmm...well, we did some shopping today with our gift cards from Christmas and got a ton of stuff. It helped that Kohl's had a 50% off "whites" sale. When we got to Target we both decided we were grumpy so we just stopped and went home.

We finally watched the last episode of Hereos, Season 2. It was pretty good.

Sorry for the boring update. We just didn't do much today.

Thursday: Random stuff

Here are some of my favorite pictures from Florida. The rest can be seen here.

We didn't go to work today due to traveling problems yesterday. We wanted at least a little down-time. So we'll have a one-day work week this week. Almost not worth it, but I figure we need to go back to work at some point.

Flurry was really cuddly last night. She even came and cuddled in my arms for a little bit...something she never does.

Almost all the Christmas decorations are down.

Kohls is having a huge bedroom stuff sale through Saturday that we're going to try to get to...we got a bunch of gift certificates for Christmas for stuff that we couldn't get on the plane.

Early some morning

I hate traveling. Especially when you get home about 10 hours later than expected.

Good news though...
...the car started
...all our luggage came through
...the house was still standing
...Flurry is still alive
...Flurry has a new cousin.

Jan 1: Happy New Year

Happy New Year again! It was rainy. :( We went to see National Treasure. It was fun. I'll be rating it 3 stars on Netflix.

Year End

Well, after I posted the last post I stayed awake for a little bit, but was completely out of it. It was funny. I then took a wonderful nap outside.

In the afternoon we went Go-Karting and Mini-golfing. I think the highlight was passing Larry in the go-karts. I'm not sure if he let me or if I finally edged in, but I decided it doesn't matter.

This evening we had a delicious meal. There was a ball dropping across the way (and a party, but Ben and I didn't stay around for it) and fireworks. The fireworks were super close...they were too bright several times. And there were some that looked like mini-suns before they exploded. Anyway, since it was getting too painful to watch them we walked down a few feet to the fence where they were setting them off and watched that. There were also some palm trees, so that helped with controling the brightness.

Happy 2008!
