goodbye seabeck, goodbye ice

Sat in bed for a long time this morning. Eventually I had to get up and pack things up. I received a lot of bulky items this year and had very little space to put them. I didn’t have enough arms to be able to carry everything back with me. Mom is sending two boxes worth of Trill Christmas Stuff to Portland. Hopefully I will get a few presents tucked in there as well. I thought I had everything packed and then I noticed the boxes of cookies and a whole wheely box full of extra stuff. Yeesh everyone was really generous this year. And when I get all my stuff it will be like unwrapping it al over again. I packed Super Munchkin because I know Karen is getting back soon so with almost half the crew we can break it in.

Speaking of Karen, she called me and invited me to a New Years gathering but it is at the Needle and I am going to be in Portland then. I was really bummed about it. I probably won’t go out for New Years because I’ll be up at 4am for work the same day. No fun but what choice do I have?

I watched Taken while Nathan drove to Tacoma. The ride is much shorter than I always thought it was. Taken is a movie that is 20 minutes of dialogue and the rest seems to just be Liam Neeson kicking butt. My kind of action movie. Yeah!

Rain rain rain, makes the snow snow snow go away away away.

Rubie cooked a delicious dinner of meaty meat, cheesy vegetables, and breaded chicken with cheese. Mmm! I ate until I was full and ate some more and then ate some more when she provided tasty ice cream for dessert. After the tasty feast we played Blokus. I won! Rubie came in second or Nathan did…uhh I forget. But I won! I won’t reveal my strategy for victory. After that we played Dominion, a game Natey got for Christmas. We stared at the rules for a while without them making sense but then we got to the hand example and we figured it out. After lots of fun turns Rubie won by a substantial margin with yours truly in a decent second and Nate in, well dead last place. Much fun and I would like to play it again. I love playing games and shall be asking for such items if you so desire to buy me a birthday present. Remember my birthday is the 21st of January.

Now it is time to sleep and get up bright and early so that I can catch my train down to P-town.
