Another loss.

Well, we've finally figured out how to play Rummy correctly. And it's another game I suck at. I blew everyone away the first game we played, but that was obviously just beginners luck. Now Mitch just stomps all over me. And he wanted me to post the proof. :)

Something random for my random wall.

I found this big iron grate at the antique mall--only $19! They are usually from $50-$80 for this size and condition so I snatched this one up. Didn't have any plans for it, but as it has sat in my living room for a week, I figured it would look nice in that random corner of mine. But Danny, that doesn't mean don't buy us a huge statue of a naked woman if you come across one. We're still looking. But I think Mitch was just happy I've done a good job at using all the random things I keep coming home with. I still have a huge box of old Player Piano music scrolls I bought a year ago and haven't done anything with them. Oh well, they were $5 for all of them. Oh and also--this is my first attempt at cooking a pork tenderloin. It came out pretty good if I say so myself. Well, miss you guys and can't wait for y'all to come visit us!

Truffles.

This is my first attempt to make those delicious Oreo truffles Paige makes. I know they are supposed to be an easy dessert to make, I mean it's only Oreos, cream cheese, and white chocolate! But my goodness, they are a pain in the butt. And mine are terribly ugly. I guess it's just one of those things I'll get better the more I make them. I made a huge mess with Oreo crumbs and melted white chocolate all over the place. Oh well, they do taste great so I guess it all worked out. I just wish y'all could have watched me trying to make them, it was funny.

Baseball!

Hello guys! Mitch and I went to our first baseball game of the season. Summer is almost here! But the Reds Stadium is very pretty, it's right off the river and the area it's in is really clean. It was a nice day at the ballpark. There were fireworks at the end and a live band which was terrible. They butchered everything from Journey to Van Halen. :( My only other complaint it that they don't have funnel cakes, they have funnel cake fries..It's a nice concept for convenience, but I like the big messy funnel cakes. Oh and Mitch and I are playing a lot of card games, or atleast trying. Apparently all I know how to play is Go Fish and Crazy 8's. So we're working on Rummy and Spades. And I'm really really glad I'm not a poor loser, because I suck at games. I've lost everything we've played. Yahtzee, Skip-Bo, even Risk! Mark beat us all in Risk and I was the only one who had ever really played it. All those strategy lessons from Grandad and I still lost. It's terrible. But I am so excited to come visit! Yay, I'll be there Thursday! :) Well, love you guys! See ya soon!
