Wanh wanh wanh, I know. Lame.
Today was definitely an indoor day, as it was brrr, chilly outside. To pass the time, we colored Easter eggs! First, the kids colored theirs:
You can see some writings and drawings on the eggs where I had them use a clear crayon before dyeing. They were really confused about that at first, but then they got into it.
And these are the ones I made from the Williams-Sonoma kit. So pretty! Jack was funny; he thought the ones with the wrappers on them had been turned into glass. They are pretty hard and shiny!
While I painted eggs, the children watched movies that I'd gotten from Redbox for free yesterday: Bolt and Madagascar II. They've seen both before but loved them so much, I rented them again. They were really bummed I had to return Bolt tonight; 'tis their current favorite movie.

So while Rob and Chloë were out at her ballet class, and Jack and Sophie were having a nap, I started thinking about maybe not going to Bunco tonight. I just don't feel well at all. I called around for a sub, but the person who was going to find one for me never called me back. So, reluctantly, I got into the shower and got ready. Bah. I never don't want to go, so it takes really feeling crappy to get me not in the moood for Bunco.
After I stopped at the store for a rotisserie chicken to bring, and showed up at the house, it turned out the had a sub for me ever all. Well, too bad - I'm playin'! It was a long drive out there, and I wasn't going to not play! But it worked out, since someone else was missing anyway.
Despite the fact that we had a young child playing with us (which was quite annoying for several of us there. Don't get me wrong, I like young children - even have a few of my own! - but Bunco is really supposed to be a chance for adult women to get out and get together without having to deal with kids, censor their language or topics, or anything. I personally think we should make a rule that no kids under at least 10-12 are allowed to play, but that's just me...), it was a lot of fun.
I didn't have a voice, so I kept making other people 'talk' for me, like when I rolled a Bunco and couldn't yell it out like I like to do! Steph and I had a lot of laughs tonight, and I even actually ate pretty decently. I ate more than I thought I'd be able to, and I didn't get nauseous afterward. Always a plus.
So the woman who irritates the hell out of me was no different tonight. I was not in the mood to deal with her crap tonight, so I kept pre-empting all her little habits like dice-grabbing and insisting on keeping score by doing it myself! She was clearly annoyed, and I enjoyed it. Not very Christian of me, but... none of us can stand her, and maybe I can irritate her right out of the group? Yeah. That's not very nice. But after two years of her, I don't care anymore. Really, I don't.
Anyhoo, Tabitha was really nice and gave me all the tissue paper and gift bags from her shower, for CARE Package, so I'm gonna organize them now and then do some scrapping. Toodle-oo!
Fin.
