'Tis Wednesday
Ah Wednesday...the middle of the week. Halfway to the weekend. It's a beautiful thing. It would be more beautiful if it was Friday, but I'll take what I can get.
Last night was game night at the Lititz Library...again...finally! After a long, LONG, LOOONNNG break over the summer, we have begun our gaming again. The pre-game merriment began with a traditional dinner out at Hoss' with Craig, Lyle and Stacey. Meat and salad...yum! Plus, we all signed up to try to win a free Ford vehicle. Here's hoping! I would actually sell the vehicle and keep the money, since I LOVE my new Saturn, but I would never turn my nose up at a new car. I also came THIS close to winning a little stuffed alligator out of one of those claw machines, but he slipped out of my grasp twice! Slippery little sucker, that 'gator! Drat! I wanted to give it to Phredd, the stuffed animal wrestler. Oh, well, I suppose it was not meant to be. So, after the pre-game activities, we finally made our way to the library for our long-awaited return to the gaming world. Well, I was a little behind the others getting to the library, and Stace was on a phone call when I got there, so we entered the library a little later than the guys, and they had ditched us to play games with others! Yeesh! So, Stacey and I played a quick game of Balloon Cup while we waited to see if they wanted to join us (I won, but it was a close game). Then, we reunited with our comrades and learned a new game called Elfenland. The premise was to get your Elf around to the various lands by way of dragons, clouds, unicorns, things that looked like R.O.U.S.'s, Elfcycles, and ugly old men. My elf was not very good at travelling (ie. I stunk at this game, but it was FUN). My elf came in last place. Oh well, I enjoyed it. As usual, I love playing these games, I'm just not very good at them. Sigh.
So, today is a new day...I'm ready for the week to be over, even though it's going pretty well. I'm ready for the weekend...for SO many reasons. For now, though, I'll just be happy in the moment, because I think we need to be happy where we are with what we're doing. Right? Right.

I like unicorns.
Very well said about happy in the moment. The glass is half full, the glass is half full.

I must say I enjoy how animated you are on Karen's Lord of the Blogs. I feel like I know just what you are trying to say. So sorry I missed games night! Elfenland sounds interesting. Craig beat Cathy the other night he was over prepping for the PC Experience. Cathy usually beats me. YIKES! Anyway, looking forward to playing some games with you soon!
