Playing Unplugged

Having an interest in board games when you are an only child is pretty interesting(boring).  I remember going to my grandmother's house when none of my cousins where there and playing monopoly in the basement all by myself.  As I got older we always had a few games in the house but very rarely played them for lack of time or just doing other things instead, it wasn't something we jumped to doing.  When I moved out of my parents house and in with Louis we bought a few games during the holidays when there are more options and they are usually less expensive.  The issue with this is that they are usually games for more then 2 players.  I remember we played a game of Monopoly Pixar edition during a blackout after a huge snow storm.  We never did finish that game.

Excited doesn't begin to explain it.

Since Ollie was a surprise arrival I didn't have anything packed to keep me occupied in the hospital for 3 days.  So I had to send Louis to the nearest Chapters with a list of books I have enjoyed reading, I want to thank the girl, who ever she is, for her great suggestion, I started reading the book and fell in love with it almost immediately.  Set in a post apocalyptic semi futuristic time, the country of Panem (Formerly the U.S.A) is split into districts and every year the head folks over at The Capitol hold The Hunger Games, they pick a boy and a girl (12-18) from each district to battle to the death, all on live t.v.. 

The movie comes out in March and I am overly excited.  This will certainly be a date night, see in theatres type of movie.

Christmas Party

It was Louis' work Christmas party last night.  It was fun, we sat at a great table.  The food was mediocre.  It got really interesting when people started dancing after our very late supper.  We finished eating at 10:30.  Louis works with some great guys, who are not at all shy.  Lots of laughs were had.  Then we came home and went to bed.

Christmas Shopping

My parents are here so today we went shopping for Ollie's Christmas presents.  He is one spoiled little guy.  Since the grandparents are here, tonight Louis and I are gonna go to the movies, it's been a while.
