Sunday morning

[judecorp]

We got home a heck of a lot later than planned from Game Night - who'd have thought we'd make it through about seven hours of games and company? Still, it's always a good time to play a lot of games with a lot of people, and ever since the start of the Two Table System things have been even more pleasant. It's nice to be able to grab a couple of other people and find a new game when the rest of the folks are playing Alhambra or Carcassonne or one of those other games I don't really like.

Last night had some good games, including my beloved 6-Nimmt and a new fave, Mamma Mia (which involves Rain Man-like "counting cards" which I am very much into, heh, excellent driver), along with a fun singing game called Hossa which was a good time though at the end of the night and when I'd started getting a seriously scratchy throat. The other table also played Ticket To Ride, which I like, and I think I might have played something else but I'm drawing a blank. Maybe I didn't - maybe it all happened when I got wrapped up with getting my butt kicked on GameCube by a 7 year old who made every effort to tell me how crappy I was doing and how much he was beating me. At some point I decided to give him a little lesson about what "good sportsmanship" means, which I guess was overheard by his parents. Whoops.

Got back a little while ago from an early morning trip to Sorella's in JP, where I had some pumpkin cranberry pancakes that were not as good as I would have liked (though still good) and terrible service. Still, 9:30am means no wait there, which is nice. I would have liked more than 4 hours of sleep, but sadly the sun blares through the window at too-early-o'clock and I simply cannot sleep in daylight. Poo.

I had every intention of going to RI today to do test drives on my dad's truck and hopefully sell it, but with Jen being sick and my being sick I never got the darned thing listed on Craigslist, so I guess that will have to wait until next weekend. I don't realistically know how it will all work, anyway, since buyers will probably want to take the truck to a mechanic before they buy it and, well, I'm at work all week and can't come down to RI for that. Could be interesting.

Our house is a pit which is remarkable since I totally straightened it up on Friday when Erika and Gina stopped by to only see the kitten visit with me. Something happened to the kitchen - it looks like a National Wholesale Liquidators (think Big Lots) explosion with all kinds of random crap like holiday cards and other junk.

I really want to go to the new IKEA in Stoughton but the bank account says no. DAMN YOU, BANK ACCOUNT!

Another one of my friends said she's going to the IKEA in Stoughton - I had no idea you guys lived so close to one another.

Where does your friend live? Who is s/he?

[estrange.livejournal.com]

She lives in Goffstown, New Hampshire & LJ name is ifferjenn - are you close to there?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Well, Goffstown is about an hour (maybe a liiiiiiittle bit more) north of me. I go up there a couple of times a year because my old friend cranapril and her groovy husband (also an old friend) live up there.

Wow, small world!

We should go together to the IKEA and you can tell me all of the wonderful things I need to buy because I never think of this stuff until I notice that I don't have things.

Sure thing! I usually hate shopping but I think I would really enjoy spending someone ELSE'S money. Besides, I love having pet boy projects! :)

I always make it a point to LOSE one game to Ja___, so he doesn't get whippped, and then beat the SNOT out of him on the rest. He always thinks he's entitied to win... uh-uh, sorry. :)

Yeah, well with me he always wins, and not because I let him, but because I suck at video games! ;)
