7 Things

1. Those geometric painted walls just look like the biggest pain-in-the-ass. Cute, but way too much work.

2. I am babysitting my nephews OVERNIGHT the last weekend of this month. To be honest I'm a little nervous. I'm happy to do it but it's a big deal you know what I mean? A very active four year-old and a 1 year-old. I'm thankful the 1 year old is the chillest baby ever a a huge snuggle puss.

3. Holy Fuck! I am tired.

4. Tyrone is so sick right now and all I can think about is how he better not get me sick. MOST SYMPATHETIC WIFE AWARD GOES TO ME!

5. When I look at my mom's face when she's trying to remember something I see the entire scene of Pink Elephants on Parade from Dumbo when he gets loaded. I imagine it playing inside her brain and there's a little window on her forehead where I can see it playout like one of those old puppet show theaters.

6. Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it out like yeah, yeah...(that song is stuck in my head which is fine because it's my favorite Lourde tune)

7. I'm in need of going to a show. I need to feel the sweaty backs of adolescent boys who tower over me bouncing up and down to someone screaming at us. (I just read that back to myself and I should delete it for fear of sounding too Linda Hogan-ish but I'll just leave it be)

7 things plus a few more

1. I hit 100% on all of the conformity in The Simpsons Tapped Out game - if you were wondering just how pathetic I am. I am super proud of this - so, very pathetic.

2. I've been listening to the Welcome to Night Vale podcast. I love all of the weird that it is. It's about a fictitious town and tells its story in a community update format. There's a dark cloud and hooded figures hanging out in the dog park. At first I wasn't sure but now I love it. I listen to it on Stitcher and am able to log into it on my desktop at work so that helps. "Vigilantly justice is always highly encouraged."

3. I've been making progress on the blanket I started for my nephew 11 months ago. I'm finally at the part where you start to feel like you might actually finish.

4. I usually like the Winter Games but this go around is not keeping my interest.

5. Tyrone and I tried to mix our social activities up a bit and went to this place called Hollywood Connection. You know one of those places you can drop your kids off for the day and leave them there to run around like muskrats. You can do every kind of activity you can think of there and if you enjoy the smell of musty, sweaty balls then you would L.O.V.E. this place. We chose to do the mini golf because it required the least amount of physical activity. It was the shortest and easiest mini golf layout I've ever played on but we still had fun.

Check out this ambitious magician. He's precious. You can't beat a radical AND free experience.

I got a hole-in-one on this hole. A hole in which my competitive husband struggled pretty hard with, so much that he had to walk up to the obstacle, get on his hands and knees, and inspect it like as if it wasn't made properly. Then there is me and my nonchalant attitude and knocks my ball through it in one swing. Not to gloat but winning him on this one hole made my night because he gets way too much pleasure out of winning and even though I didn't beat him in the round, I did on this ONE hole dammit.
