Last night I played this game with Daniel, Bernie, and Arynne.  Tres Fun.  It's an interesting mix of clue and guess who.  With the added interest of ringing a little bell, getting sent back to mass every couple of turns, and having to chant like monks for a couple of rounds.  Chanting like monks is, of course, even more interesting to the ( Read more... )

    So, apparently I am in a revisiting old obsessions phase.  First, I found the Christy DVD's at Walmart and rewatched the entirety of my favorite television show from fourth grade.  Then, today, I found and rented DVD's of Janette Oke's Love Comes Softly Series which I loved in middle school.  I hope I'm not regressing.  That would be bad.

The best part of spending a four-day in Monroe:  Access to movies.  In case you didn't know, and really how could you not? Allison = huge movie buff.  That should probably be huge media buff as I get equally excited about tv, books, and theater, but who's counting.  Anyway, in the past four days I watched (In no particular order)

I feel really productive today as I:

1. Got my oil changed

2. Picked up my last JoAnn's paycheck and exchanged the two skeins of green chunky yarn for two skeins of green worsted weight yarn, so that I have the appropriate materials for the sweater I want to make.

3. Checked out the West Chester Grower's Market. Yay! locally produced fresh ( Read more... )

So, incase your blind, or Arynne, it snowed here last night, so I got up and didn't have to go to church because the snow was over my boot and I didn't think I could make it out of the driveway. Instead I:

1. Knitted a sweater for my Ipod. I find that when you leave the Ipod in a cold car for eight hours the battery dies and leaves you with ( Read more... )

Went to see the newest Star Wars. As is the general concensus, I thought III was much better than I or II. The movie would still had been vastly superior if Anakin and Padme had been forbidden to speak to or about each other. Their dialog together was awful, their dialogue with others, not so bad. Really that's all I have to say. Well, that ( Read more... )

My Ipod came this morning. I got to answer the door in my pajamas and hair all falling out 'cause I hadn't brushed it yet look. My mother would be very disapointed, but frankly I don't care. Apple should really sent out the Ipods fully charged. It comes, you're all excited, ready to load some music and try it out, but no it has to charge for ( Read more... )

Yeah, so that title as absolutely nothing to do with this entry, but the song is in my head.

Spent much of the day watching Manor House on DVD, since that is what I got out of the library.  I'm sure my family is going to make fun of me for watching it, but I find it fascinating.  I would love to do one of those programs, or well maybe not one of ( Read more... )

This morning I got to wait at home for the guy to come to fix the sliding doors. I just love baby-sitting delivery men. I felt like an idiot when I told him that the glass door had been broken by a "stone propelled by a weed-waker." I really need to not use odd sentence structure when talking to people that don't know me.

Spent the rest of the day ( Read more... )
