Movies, food and hamsters

The day started out rather mundane, sleeping until 9:30, making a big breakfast, then lounging around and falling asleep on the couch for awhile. After taking a shower in the afternoon I gained a little energy so we went out to rent a movie, Ocean’s Thirteen, and grab some food (Qdoba).

On the way home we checked the mail and my prizes from Jodi’s contest arrived. The little hamsters in the balls are so cute! Thanks Jodi! If you want one of your own, check out Jodi’s Etsy site.

Hamster goodies

Ocean’s Thirteen was much more enjoyable than Ocean’s Twelve but I can’t help questioning the logic behind the tunnel boring machine. I could have sworn I learned on the Discovery Channel that those machines get left underground because they are too massive to get out of the tunnels once their work is done, so I’m not sure how they could have realistically gotten their hands on one of those machines. Then again, I have to wonder how much of any of that movie was realistic, not that it made me enjoy it any less. But hey, does anyone know if that casino/building really exists in Vegas? It’s pretty cool!

Game Night & Saturday Plans

Game Night was SO MUCH FUN! Seriously, I haven’t had that much fun with someone other than Joe in a long time. I only invited two people because I am very particular about who I spend time with … I don’t like being uncomfortable in social settings. Anyway, I almost thought that E, my friend (and boss!), wasn’t going to make it because she’s been having the week from hell, but she did show up a little later after we had eaten dinner and she ate while we played Aggravation. My other friend, C, left around 9 pm. I was worried that maybe she wasn’t having fun since we kept quoting Friends episodes and she’s not a fanatic, but I think maybe it was because she’s older than the rest of us and goes to bed around 10 pm, even on weekends. She did look pretty tired when she left too. I love her and I really hope she had fun! I would hate it if someone didn’t enjoy themselves at my place.

After C left, we watched some baseball and played Yahtzee. When you get me and E together, we revert to 12 year olds. It’s pretty scary, especially if we start acting like that at work. Plus we (yes, we, not just me) have foul mouths. I was mildly concerned we might be disturbing the neighbors since the patio door was open but I really didn’t care since they are always bothering us. Interestingly enough, I didn’t hear the annoying dog bark once so they probably were out and took him with (otherwise he barks the entire time they are gone). Figures. The rare time I can irritate them and they aren’t even home!

E stayed til about midnight and then Joe and I surfed online til about 1:30 am before going to bed. We slept in until 11 am and I felt hung over even though unlike Joe and E, I didn’t have any alcohol at all! We haven’t done much since getting up other than shower and eat lunch, but I think we might head to Marshall Field’s in a bit since I’ve got some decent coupons and wanted to buy this cologne we tried that smells awesome on Joe. I’d also like to look at some shoes. Tomorrow we’re going to Indiana Beach, just the two of us, to check out their cottages. We’re thinking of renting one for a night and taking the kids later in the summer. Can’t wait to have some of their yummy tacos. And you thought I went for the rides. Well maybe, but I want to play some skeeball too!
