Molly and Muttly

Ein was being a snuggleupagus tonight, so I got a shot with him all cuddled up to me in bed. What a sweetie! If you're wondering, Muttly Dingus is his P.I. name.

Bazaar Behavior

I bought Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar for my DSi and I can't stop playing it. I loved the Harvest Moon game for the Gamecube and used to stay up all night long playing it back in 2005. Granted, I was manic and didn't sleep or eat much in the first place, so it was a good fit. But I haven't seen a HM game since that one that I thought had a decent plot and graphics. This one has both, and it's quite addicting. As usual, you're a farmer who has to farm crops, care for animals and get their milk/eggs/wool, and make money, all while developing relationships with townsfolk and deciding which of your 5 suitors to marry. It's a long-play game, which I like. It seems like they've made this one a titch more like Animal Crossing, adding things like fishing and the ability to paint your farm's sign.

I Do Knot Want To Be Here

It was my last full 8-hour shift at Marbles today. I decided to play around with this new game we have in stock, Knot So Fast. It tells you how to make all kinds of knots, but for some reason, this was the only knot in which I had interest.

CAKE!

Jordan, Mark, and John came over to play board games so I made cupcakes. There was enough batter left over to make a small cake in a potpie tin. Delicious and cute!

After Tubing, I Prefer a Nice Quiche

Nick and I went snow tubing at Buck Hill with Pavel, Stabby, and a couple of their friends. It was so much goddamned fun! I wore my awesome monster hat (which I think of as a Stupid Rat Creature hat but was advertised as a Yeti hat) and it got a lot of attention, both positive and "oh my god, like what is she wearing that is so weird."

We drank Jameson with butterscotch schnapps and I ate some waffle fries. There was a campfire at which we could warm ourselves and a lift to go up the hill. I highly recommend it. We'll be back before the end of winter.

Shadowy Bedtime

I realized just as I'd snuggled down to sleep that I hadn't taken a picture yet for the day. Having already missed two days this month (!) I didn't want to screw up yet again. I also didn't feel like using my stupid flash when my eyes were all nice and adjusted to the dimly lit dark. I altered it with Photoshop to make it a little easier to see.

You're Turning Violent, Violet

I spent today cleaning and organizing, which meant Violet and the cats got to play in the spare bedroom while I cleaned the litter boxes. After I finished, I took Vi into the master bedroom and let her run around, because I noticed she seemed bored in the spare room. When ferrets are bored, it's fucking adorable. They go flat, which is like a gloomy bellyflop onto the floor. After this picture, she decided it was time to claw the living christ out of my hands, so I put her down. My face looks happy, but it's actually the split second before I screamed, "sonofaBITCH, Violet!" and put her down.
