Fun & Games!
Mar. 22nd, 2004 01:39 amMy sister called for my mom this morning, to whine about a monster headache on top of unpleasant female things. Unfortunately, Mom was at church, so she had to talk to me. :p We chatted for an hour, and she invited me down to her place for dinner and games. She's pretty miffed that, despite my presence in NoVA once or twice a month, she rarely sees me. Hee!
I talked to Mom and Dad, and they agreed to watch Mikey, who probably would not have liked salad for dinner and whose presence would have cut my stay extremely short. As it was, I still didn't leave 'til after six.
So I didn't arrive until 7:30, but it all worked out; Jenn didn't get back from picking up Amy, a friend of hers and her roommate, Michelle's, from work, until quarter after.
Dinner was scrumptious. Jenn made salad with leaf and romaine lettuces, tomato, red onion, creole-seasoned chicken, avacado, and feta cheese ... and she had diet Dr Pepper just for me. Aww! :D
So we ate and watched the new episode of The Simpsons, and then Jenn broke out all the games she bought on the cheap. They all sounded interesting, but we decided to play Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot I've got to be honest -- I was pretty indifferent to playing at first, despite the mental images of Bun-Bun conjured by the title.
It was a lot of fun. I got badly skunked, despite having the most bunnies in the bunny circle at one point, after a nuclear attack wiped them all out... but that was okay, because I hadn't managed to collect any carrots, anyway. We wanted to play again, but it was 10:30 by the time we finished. Everyone needed to get home and to bed.
My car, happily, didn't scrape or groan at me at all on the 1.5 hour trip each way; I'm calling my mechanic tomorrow, after I talk to Mom and Dad about transportation to work on Wednesday night.
I forgot both to take my digital camera and to survey the damage to my sister's car from the accident she was in a month or so ago. Darn it. But I'm planning on swinging by on the way to or from CineMark next month, and she may very well not have it fixed by then....
And I'm rambling. It's late, and I'm finally coming down off my caffeine high. :D
