Justin's brother Lucas had an interview in Detroit on Friday so he came and stayed for the weekend. We played 7 games of Settlers.  For the first time we combined the seafarers with Cities and Knights.  It was really fun.  Justin and I both won 3 games each and Lucas won 1.  Lucas decided he wants the original game for Christmas so that we can play ( Read more... )

Justin and I went to our friends Jenny and Pat's housewarming yesterday in Yipsilanti and we had so much fun.  I made dirt cake, and used a flower pot, fake flowers and a trowel to serve it.  That was a big hit mostly because it looks cool, but everyone had second helpings so I guess it tasted good too, really you can't go wrong with oreos, pudding ( Read more... )

The grocery game was a bust this week.  Last week I tried it without a paper - I just printed some online coupons.  I saved a bit but decided I needed to get the paper.  This week I got the coupons but the list didn't come up until this morning.  i went to the store and almost every item I had a coupon for on the list was out of stock already.  I ( Read more... )
