Games ‘n Such
April 15th, 2008
I saw something today for the first time this winter (it’s actually Spring now, isn’t it?)—a snowman. We received two or three inches of snow last night and this morning, and it was wet snow; definitely not the norm for us. Our snow is dry and powdery and it squeaks when you walk on it. It is impossible to create snowballs and snowmen with it. Good about the snowballs (everyone and everything would be a target seven months out of the year), not so good about the snowmen. I love snowmen. The one I saw was created by a six-year-old in his yard at the end of our street. It was no more than two feet tall and had small branches for the arms. I left my camera at home, so I didn’t get a picture, but it was a cute.
Bren came down with a cold last night and was still sick this morning. I told her to get back in bed and she slept for five more hours. She had left her wallet and cell phone at her friend’s house, so I called the friend and she was sick as well, so I think the girls shared their germs during the sleepover.
My shift with the teens was good today. I played several games of pool (I’m not consistent so the kids never know if I’m gonna beat them or make them look really really good), a game of Worst Case Scenario (I don’t care if I am dying of thirst at sea—I WILL NOT suck the water out of a fish’s eyeballs and spine), and I also worked on the Tetris Cube which has served only to make me feel like a complete idiot. I have been working on this puzzle daily for three weeks and I have yet to get it put together. The box says there are over NINE THOUSAND solutions and I can’t even find one. Yeah, go ahead and laugh—then go out and buy yourself one and get back to me on how YOU do with it. Grrrrrrr….
I thought that relaxing on the couch watching the Country Music Awards would help relax Bren enough to get to sleep early, but here it is past 1 a.m. and she’s just getting ready for bed. Being home sick, dozing off and on all day really messes up her clock. I hope she’s able to make it through all her classes tomorrow.
And that’s what happened in our little world today. I pray you all find joy in the small things as you go about your business this day. Blessings to you!

You really made me laugh with that 9,000 solutions bit!

Thanks MaryAnn. I just got Bren off to school and she looked much better. It’s good to be blogging again :)
Dylan, glad to amuse you as always! hehe

lol it’s nice to know that I’m not that only one that would probably be struggling with that game too :-)
