Kiefer Wins

Posted on1 Comment

I DVR’d the Emmys last night because while I find award shows boring, I knew Kiefer would be on and I could just fast forward past all the crap. I didn’t really care who won or whether I found out the results prior to watching.

So this morning I got an e-mail from Joe:

“NICOLE, I WON THESE FOR YOU!!!!!”

I couldn’t stop laughing. It’s nice to know my husband can have a sense of humor about my celebrity crushes. :)

Speaking of Kiefer, we just started watching Season 3 of 24 today and damn is it good already. They don’t waste any time!

How is it that I taught my husband proper grammar, help him with spelling, and even proof read his blog entries, yet he beat me at Scrabble? No wonder I have never owned this game before today. I am so frustrated! I didn’t think I’d kick his ass, but I certainly wasn’t expecting him to kick mine. I suppose I shouldn’t be shocked: he seems to beat me at pretty much everything except fighting games on the PS2.

We have a decent collection of board games and the like now that we’ve been together almost six years and I’m always looking for something new and fun to play, preferably something that the two of us can engage in since we don’t have people over very often.

Games we own that I like
Aggravation
Connect Four
Kismet
Mille Bourne
Scene It (Original Movie Version)
Scrabble
Sequence
Skip-Bo
Trivial Pursuit (90’s Edition)
Uno
Yahtzee

Games we own that I don’t like
Boom-O
Candyland
Checkers
Chess
Life
Memory
Monopoly
Trouble

Games I’ve never owned because I hate them
Battleship
Mousetrap
Operation
Perfection
Sorry

Games I don’t own but liked as a kid
Hungry Hungry Hippos

Games I’d like to buy
Family Feud
Pictionary

What games do you own, like, hate, or recommend?

I had a really crappy day today, and when I got home from work, all I wanted was an ice cream bar. We ran out over a week ago, though. So I was sitting at my computer, waiting for Joe to get home from work, so I could ask him if we could drive over to Aldi to buy some more.

Imagine my surprise when he walked in the door with two boxes of the exact same ice cream bars I was thinking about! Can that man read my mind or what? He’s the best! Now you know why I married him.

Sunflowers

I bought myself some sunflowers when we were at Target yesterday. They are very beautiful and cheer you up, don’t you think? It’s too bad I’m feeling all icky today; the weather is in the mid 70’s and just gorgeous with beautiful blue skies and fluffy white clouds. Perfect for a trip to the forest preserve to take out our bikes on the trails and snag some cool photos. That was what we planned on doing today, after visiting Ikea for their kickass (from what I’ve heard) $1.99 breakfast. Ugh, it really sucks being a woman, you know. Oh well, maybe next Sunday!
