Hunter may have the heart of a wargamer.  We were playing Snakes & Ladders (the Marvel Superhero Squad version) and half way through he said he wanted to change the rules.  He proceeded to pick the number he was going to "spin" on the spinner, and move that.  Once he'd won the game, he further introduced a house-rule where the various super-heroes ( Read more... )

After picking up Hunter from school, he declared that we had to go shopping for food because he was out of food.  As we diverted to the local Safeway, I checked in with Holly and discovered that despite Hunter's claim to be without milk, they had some.  However, since I needed to do a bit of shopping, I figured what the heck.

Hunter picked out what ( Read more... )

Hard to find stuff to update about, when you're still fighting a cold.  Spent much of the day napping or blowing my nose.  Whee.

I've made it through the second part of Quicksilver, and further than I did in my last attempt.  I think I'm having more luck this time because I've approached the book as a science-fiction alternate earth, rather than a ( Read more... )

Despite still being sick, I knew Holly needed some Holly time so took Hunter off her hands this evening.  A good time was had at Dada's place, as we figured out his new Samuria Prowl Transformers Animated action figure.  We also watched some episodes of the new Iron Man Armored Adventures series, which I rather like myself.  With pit stops for ( Read more... )

Cold's really suck.

In other news, I'm playing a Warden in Lord of the Rings Online... and its been a bit crazy overpowered so far.  I've hit level 29 now, without any deaths.  I'm not taking any particular precautions or avoiding tough quests.  I've even tried a couple quests that I would have dropped with other characters.  The Warden is a hybrid ( Read more... )

Might have been optimistic about hitting 100%.

Made it to the gym this morning for about an hour of cardio and stretching.  I'm sure I'll be feeling it tomorrow morning.  Felt good to get active though, and I really need to try and work in more of that into my day.

Had some Hunter time this afternoon.  There were tears, because I wouldn't give him a ( Read more... )

Had a good time at Pathfinder tonight, as our heroes continue to put a sizeable wrench in the plans of both the Little and Big Bads.  They're skirting on the edges of understanding what's actually going on, but haven't quite put all the puzzle pieces together yet.  Gonna be fun when they kick the main villain's ass.  At the rate we're going, that' ( Read more... )

A day wasted at home, pretty much.  Did laundry, played some Lord of the Rings Online, and watched The Hurt Locker with director's commentary.

I did check in with my brother to see how the new baby is doing.  Word is that he's feeding up a storm and sleeping intermittently.  In other words, all is normal.

A good day.  Got a decent night's sleep, possibly because I skipped any caffeine yesterday.  Woke up with a headache, though, and felt grumpy.  That aside, I managed to prep for Pathfinder and got enthused about it.

Took Hunter to school.  When I picked him up, I got the thumbs up from the teacher, so there was some progress on the rudeness and such ( Read more... )
