Last minute thoughts

So before I logged off my computer tonight, I thought it would be fun to check out the blogs of my siblings. Not only am I amazed that Jay has been updating his daily, but that I have no idea what he's saying in that poker-speak. :) That's okay though. I like the stories anyway. Hicks are funny.

Cara's blog made me laugh. George W. is definitely monkey material.

So, to update my own blog...

Jason signed us up to join a bowling league with his sister and brother-in-law as our partners. We will bowl twice a month. As a bribe (read: gift) to me, Jason bought me a pair of shiny black and white bowling shoes. They will totally match any outfit. Apparently he thought that I didn't have enough shoes. This is why I love this man. ;) No, not just because he bought me a pair of shoes, but because he knows a girl *me* can never have too many shoes. What a guy.

In exchange for hanging out with his family twice a month, he has agreed (pretty willingly) to have lunch at my mom's and dinner at my dad's house once a month. But definitely not on the same day! I figured that was a fair trade. Course we will be drinking heavily and bowling with his family and that will be more fun, but then again, it's with his sister and brother-in-law who spend more time yelling at each other and calling each other names than they do actually bowling. At least that's what they did when we went golfing. I am assuming with a bit of beer consumption, they will do the same while bowling. But at least I will have some cute shiny shoes to look at while they yell.

I'm getting very excited for this trip to California. I have the Guiness Book of World Records 2006, and "Confessions of a Shopaholic" to read on the way out. Although I will probably save the Confessions book for poolside. The book of records ought to keep me entertained and give me lots to bug Jason with on the flight. "Hey, honey, check this out..." "Oh my god, honey, look!" He's going to try to read or watch a dvd... I don't think so.

I set up an account on half.com to sell some of my 700 books. I have 66 listed right now. Within the first two days, I sold two books. It was very exciting. Somehow I doubt the other 64 will sell so quickly. I need to get my other books back from Linz so I can put those up for sale also. And I could probably look through my shelves again to see what else I could put up. I just really don't want to move 700 books when I finally move out of my crappy little crooked apartment!

Anyway. Family chat sure was fun tonight. I like chatting with Jay. He's fun. Don't tell him I said that though, he will get all big-headed. He's still a meanie.
