Angry 8 year old.

This is what happens when your friends are over, and your attention seeking 8 year old acts out until she is finally sent to her room for being obnoxious.  She draws pictures of us in revenge!! (unfortunately you can't see the whole picture in this blog....so visit my myspace blog if you want to see the full version)

As you can see, all Mandy cares about is all her big shoes and all the jewelry all over her big giant fingers. And her big lips. We 're not sure why she has one eye. That's a mystery.

Jaimee has back hair, has many eyes, and is drinking gas. Because she likes to fart a lot.

Out of all the weird ones, Christa's portrait seems to be the most normal. In her photo, she's old and frail and pregnant. She looks pretty harmless. I'd love to know they psychology behind some of these, lol.

Next is baby Jack. He's tall, skinny, and handsome in his suit and tie. She obviously likes him and did not blame him for all of our awful behaviour toward her.

Next we have Lisa, with her big mechanical eye and giant sharp-toothy jaws!

Then, there's me. I'm a clam with teeth.

And of course, the last drawing is of herself, holding up her crown.

She sure showed us! Perhaps it's one of those had-to-be-there moments, but we laughed uncontrollably for awhlie. 

I love my friends.

Not many adults can get together on a Sunday night and play with Moon Sand and have a blast.

It wasn't really the moon sand that was fun, but it was all of us. We're funny. We also made our own bouncy balls and played games and ate suckers and candy. Lisa wanted juice boxes and grilled cheese, but we opted for Taco Bell.

Random

I'm still sick. Voice is slowly disappearing. Cough slowing appearing. Visit to the doctor nearing......

My friend just had a baby. Another friend going into the hospital tonight for stuff before a surgery. Can't visit friends in hospitals if I'm sick. Makes me sad :-(

Cough cough.

I'm soooooo bored. I've been sitting here next to my friend, the vaporizer, trying to feel better. Oh....but there is a good side to being sick and sitting around all day. I finally scored a Wii on Amazon today! Merry Christmas to me :-) And Craig, I guess. And the kids too, I suppose.

Time for more soup.

Sports

I like sports now. I like baseball and football. A year ago, I did not care for sports. In fact, I hated football season because it meant losing my husband all day Sunday and Monday nights. I used to watch hockey religiously. Then I stopped. I used to watch baseball as a kid. I stopped that too. Suddenly I had other interests, I suppose. But anyway, thanks to the excitement of fantasy football and several trips to Comerica Park with my friends, I'm enjoying sports again.

Last night the Tigers had a very exciting last inning. I was there! It was fun.

Also last night, I was in 1st place in our Fantasy Football league, and then at the last minute, my opponent's wide receiver caught a touchdown pass, and just like that I was knocked down to 7th place. Grumble grumble. But I still have the 2nd highest points in the league, so I'm not too upset. I'm not as upset as Craig, anyway. He's in last place. Hee hee. Craig is the most competitive person I know. I once made him cry when I beat him at Connect Four. Seriously. He was undefeated until I came along. Poor guy. Last night he looked at the standings and said "I hate this game." and walked out.

My friends and I at the game last night . . .
