It was a Dark and Stormy Night...
Ok, so it's not night, so it's not really dark, but it is kind of stormy. There's some thunder rumbling around outside. I think I even saw a little bit of lightning. Plus, it's raining. Besides, didn't you ever read the Peanuts strip where Snoopy is sitting on top of his doghouse with his typewriter, and he always starts what he's writing with "It was a Dark and Stormy Night." Ok, nevermind. It was just a thought anyway.
This was a great long weekend. Very productive. I got a lot of stuff for Creation done. Most of the staff are assigned. I got my basement cleaned out in preparation for my brother to store some of his stuff there in preparation for his move to the Lancaster area. I got to have a "cook-in" yesterday, since it "was a dark and stormy day" yesterday. Hee hee. I also played some games with my parents. We played some cards and then some Carcassonne and Settlers. I got beat soundly all around. It was pretty funny. They have no idea what they're doing, and yet they still trounce me. Oh well. I've always said I'm not very good at the games, I just really like playing them.
Saturday, Stacey and I got to go to Hersheypark again. Fun stuff. It was Client Appreciation Day this time. Just so no one thinks I can afford to go to Hersheypark on a whim. I can't. Movies are about as whimsical as I get. I do those pretty frequently. It's one of my indulgences. Plus, it's Tuesday, which, over the summer is free popcorn day! Can't beat that! Tonight I'm going to see Shrek again. Too much stuff going on to catch it all the first time. I want to see The Day After Tomorrow, but so does Stacey, so I'm waiting to see that with her. I think we're going on Thursday. That's the plan, at least.
Oh, on Saturday, Stace and I also got to go to TJ Rockwell's and hang out on the deck after our day at Hersheypark. That was really cool, too. Relaxing. Nice. My last highlight of the day is that I got my tickets to the Lord of the Rings Exhibition at the Massachusetts Science Museum in Boston for October! Yay! It's my birthday present to me. Stacey is a really good friend. She's going with me, even though she really doesn't care that much about seeing the exhibit, she's supporting me. What a cool person.
So, it's June. I'm ok with that. Really I am.

Aw, gee thanks. I'm always up for fun with my traveling buddy, as long as there are no Kroger's parking lots or Firestones involved.....and who could pass up Boston in October...Foliage a plenty.

What's Carcossoni and Settlers? Is that a card game?

Carcassone & Settlers are German Board Games. I like to call Settlers a combination of Risk, Monopoly and Yahtzee. Carcassonne is like a land claiming puzzle game. They're all kinds of fun.
