Valentine’s Goodness
Today was a good Valentine’s Day. My husband gave me the best gift ever. He kept the kids occupied and allowed me to spend a great chunk of my day playing the XBox 360 uninterrupted. It was awesome.
We made breakfast together, although all I really contributed was making pancakes. Mac did all the rest. Then I played with a few tiny breaks. Then I made dinner, trying to please everyone: shrimp scampi for the kids, crab legs, mashed potatoes and corn for Mac, ginger and blood orange salmon on spinach with hazelnut encrusted goat cheese for me. Jay insisted that he wanted popcorn, so I gave him some of Mac’s corn because in his eyes it is the same even though it isn’t popped. I had set aside some extra goat cheese for Ada because the last time I made it, she ate hers and then she ate mine. She has recently decided that she hates nuts, so she kind of dug at it, but wouldn’t eat it because of the hazelnuts. Mac got a bag of green peanut M&Ms, and she even turned those down. She’s really serious about the nut thing. She wouldn’t eat a turtle she had gotten in one of those mixed chocolate hearts. She turned down caramel because of nuts.
I played a little bit more after dinner clean-up with Jay’s assistance. He likes to tell me where to navigate my character. It works great until he decides to hit me when I don’t agree with his directions.
Ada doesn’t have school tomorrow which means I get to sleep in a tiny bit. We have Jay’s bed delivery tomorrow between 10-noon. If I try to press my luck, they will be here at 9:50 and I won’t be dressed. If I make an attempt to be up and dressed by 9:45, they will come at 2:00.
My initial search to acquire twin sized dinosaur sheets was a bust. I did find cool retro robot sheets, but he doesn’t really like robots as much as I do. He will have to use one of Ada’s extra sheet sets until then. I think I will venture online for this purchase. I did get the kids new step stools. These both have two steps instead of one, and are wood instead of plastic.
What game did you play?
Dragon Age. I picked up both Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2 on Friday, and I really need to finish at least one play through of Dragon Age before popping in ME2. I probably should also finish Fable II.
I made it to the archdemon battle, but after thinking about it there were a few things I want to do before I start the Landsmeet, so I went back to an earlier save.
Barely got started with Dragon Age. So far since the holidays I’ve finished Batman:Arkham Asylum, got about half way through Assassin’s Creed II, Level 31 in Borderlands, and 5 hours into Bioshock 2. I’ve got to finish ME1 before I move onto ME2, but that’s probably at the bottom of the pile.
Looks like this is my list for finishing games.
BioShock 2 (PC)
ACII (X360)
ME1 (X360)
ME2 (X360)
DA (PC)
Of course that means that the impending Splinter Cell game will have to be folded in there somewhere.
