Hey! For my birthday I did get my purple gameboy! Thank-you Philip! I love it and You love it and Amie loves it and Jayme loves it. I play in the vanpool on the way to work, on my lunch hour, and on the ride home. Philip plays as soon as he comes over to visit me and Amie plays it when I leave it at home for her to play while I'm out and Jayme plays it when I go over and visit her. We already had to change the batteries. I wonder why they don't make it rechargeable, like a cell phone is?
They've replaced Tetris Attack with Pokemon Puzzle Challenge, which is exactly the same thing. I guess it's more marketable with the new name and the new characters. Everything is Pokemon now! Oh well! What other games, do you suggest I get?
I just have to tell the world that I HATE MOVING!!!! After July, I swear, I'm not moving for a long time, maybe never ever again…
Jayme watched Martha Stewart everyday of her Spring vacation. I played hookie one day and watched with her. I'm a fan. Not a closet fan, but an out and open fan. And I know for a fact that other people like her too!
I just wanted you to know that, this is my favorite song this week(It's just hilarious):
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna try I'm gonna take this love right to ya All my heart, all the joy Oh, baby, baby, please
Rush, rush Hurry, hurry lover, come to me Rush, rush I wanna feel, I wanna feel you breathe in me Rush, rush I can feel it, I can feel you all through me Rush, rush
Agnes and I have been playing guess the song over e-mail lately. I use Lyricsworld.com to find the lyrics and then Agnes e-mails the song title back to me or calls me singing it. I've only stumped her a couple of times. She didn't get Duran Duran: The Reflex or Tears for Fears: Everybody wants to rule the world. The one's I thought she'd never get, she did. I don't know how she remembers and I know she's not going straight back into Lyricsworld.com to figure it out either. Pretty amazing. I usually recognize the tune, but never know the words, the name of the song, nor the artist. WOW for Ag...
During breaks at work,The Crafty Girls, Chickboard has been saving me from boredom. Little girls think that CRAFT is making toothbrush bracelets or folding notes...Sometimes on of them wants to know how to knit and then I can help. I have a * by my codename now, cause I have more than 50 posts. WOOHOO!
I stopped checking Cool Site of the Day, because the cool sites they were picking, just weren't cool. I chanced it again today and I found Dancing Paul! "I can dance if I want to!" He entertained me for a solid 5 minutes....
I SO want to see Josie and the Pussycats! I am such a teenie bopper sometimes...It looks so cool and their site is very entertaining. You can even make your own Josie video. It requires Flash 5.0 though...
Philip and I are trying to eat out less. The only thing is that he won't start cooking until I get there. So yesterday, I e-mailed him a handy dandy grocery list with this week's menu. So happy!...He started cooking right when he got home. He cooked rice and started simmering the soup. So by the time we were done walking our big monster (Dioji), the meat was nice and tender. All I had to do was season it and add the vegetables. Pilipo, you're such a good prep cook!
I started looking for more recipes, to expand my menu. I don't usually use recipes, I just know how to cook things usually. But this method limits my menu to around 5 dishes. I love the New Joy of Cooking, which my parents gave me this past Christmas. Everything is in that book! I've also been trying to find some good recipes on the web. I've always liked Cheap Thrills which is a weekly comic strip, with recipes. A couple of weeks ago, I made a killer Chicken Pot Pie, from the comic strip. It fed us for a couple days. I never knew I could even make my own Chicken Pot Pie! Today, I discovered that LoobyLu has a Celebrity Chef column. I thought I'd try some of the recipes she's collected. Chicken & Lychees sounds pretty good? I have one question though... Is a Red Capsicum a Red Pepper? I guess I answered my own question...
Other stuff... You'll be proud to know that I'm doing my part to be good to our earth...I've joined a vanpool! And...we have 109 days left.
