Two weeks into Summer Vacation...


Yeah, what was it I was saying about summer vacation before... I enjoyed it? Ha!

Only kidding. Life is still much easier these days, but I'm beat. I have two little ones that just pick, pick, pick at each other. Whatever one wants, the other needs too. So, we've had a lot of rivalry these days. It's funny though... one minute they are fighting, the next they are best buddies playing nicely. Right now they are drawing on the garage floor with sidewalk chalk (hmmm... how will I get that off without rain and no drain?)

One cool thing happened last weekend though. Yep... we are now owners of Guitar Hero III for the Wii. Mommy is officially addicted and will play the Wii a lot now. :-) My parents were visiting us and brought the game. They're already addicted. (Ok... my DAD is addicted... my mom likes it too though.) Oh, the songs running through my mind these days.... I think Barracuda, School's Out for Summer, and Talk Dirty to Me are most often. I beat "Lou" during the cool Devil Went Down to Georgia song... but of course, that was on easy. I don't care... I don't think I'll ever figure out the fourth button anyway. I'll stick with easy. Anyone out there addicted too?

We are also now the owners of a new dishwasher and microwave. Cool, huh? Yeah... this was just one of those purchases that didn't excite me. :-) It is nice that we have a working microwave without cracks in the door and condensation building up in between the glass panels. We also have a dishwasher whose wheels haven't completely fallen off the bottom rack and can hold more dishes without the middle sprayer taking up so much room. And... for the time being... they are both remarkably clean. LOL In fact they were so clean looking in our kitchen, I felt bad and got down on my hands and knees to scrub the ceramic floor so that it was equally as clean. (I don't scrub floors using my hands often!)

I mistakenly told you that I beat Lou. Wrong. I tried about a dozen times after I spoke with you, and couldn't get it done. What's the secret?

I am totally addicted to Guitar Hero too. I kept playing "Hit me with your best shot" until I could do it perfectly. Just wait, when you hear the songs on the radio now, you'll start to notice the guitar parts and want to play along.

I blame Jeanette for this of course. We wouldn't have had any interest if they hadn't had it at her house.

Dad, you have to hit the "weapons" perfectly and nail him twice in a row as early as you can... otherwise he gets you first. That's what I did and it shook him up.
