/\/\/ A Day in the Life \/\/\

Random Internet Kitty : Too cute to live, your mission is clear!




The birthday weekend was nice. My parents came down for the day along with prissy the wonder yorkie. The got in around 2 and stayed till 9:30 or so. J and I took them out and showed them the Loveland. I think they were really impressed by how non-connected to the big city loveland is(they didn't see the traffic I have to deal with in the mornings). We also took a stroll through Indian Hills, land of HUGE houses, REALLY HUGE, and AMAZINGLY HUGE houses. There are a lot of new houses there, but I know my parents really like a lot of the old houses best. It wasn't a trip to Dauphin Island., mom, but I'm glad you had a nice time while you were here. We had dinner at the Works .. yummy pizza.

After dinner they headed north, turning down a trip over to Grephanie's for a small get together. Greg's birthday had been just the week before ours, so it was a big (small) get together in celebration. Rick and Becky were there, and so were Pat and Jamie. After the fire was built, a few of G&S's neighbors, all of whom were nice but with varying shades of scarlet necks(if you catch my drift), decided to join us. The night wasn't very long, but was a good time.

Monday night I headed to the game shop for some fun. Pat and I played a game of Axis & Allies minis, the new release from WotC. Don't worry, I didn't buy into it. Pat had enough pieces, of both armies, to play a full game. It was interesting, but I got trounced. Damn SS Geshtapo! While I was there, I spent a some money... I picked up Carcassonne: Inns and Cathedrals, the first expansion for Carcassonne. It will let us play 6 players and includes a few new ways to score points. As well, since it's now October, I thought it would be appropriate to have a good "scary" game to play. Along with Jannelle's favorite childhood game Midnight Party, I am now the new owner of Betrayal at House on the Hill. Brady brought it over once when I was in BG, and we played it. If I am not mistaken, I think he helped play-test or design the game when he Co-Oped at Hasbro(Avalon Hill). It was a lot of fun, and I really like the replayability factor. Tonight will be it's introduction to the group(G&S, P&J, and C&J).

Work has been going well. I have feel a lot more confident now that I have been through the Cert class. I understand what the customers are asking for, and can better interprete their needs. Poker has been slow since I returned, I've only won once.

Jannelle has started working. It's not much but it gets her out of the Apt and brings in some money. She started at Subway a few weeks back as an official Sandwich Artist. She hates it, of course, and is continuing her search for a more "career" oriented job. GOOD LUCK BABE!

David Hansen and Daryl are coming to Cincy this weekend, but not at the same time. David will be here around 11:00 tonight and leave 8-9ish on Saturday. Daryl will get here 8:30-9:30 on Saturday, and leave on Monday morning.. CRAZY! I look forward to having you guys around... I have been missing the NWO crew lately... I think I'll be back into town next weekend, but we'll see. I'll be sure to let you all know..

Catch you all later.
