The Weekend

The weekend started out like any other. I had some intentions to get some things done which didn’t happen. I wanted to clean up my back yard. Burn all the weeds, and throw away the garbage. That didn’t happen. The wind was blowing too hard. My poor daughter was walking towards the house when a HUGE gust came by. It picked up the entire pile of tumble weeds and started rolling it towards her. I yelled at her to run. She took one look at the death coming towards her and screamed. I am proud of her though. She didn’t stand there and get pummeled by the wall of death. She turned while screaming and ran. It missed her by a few inches. She wanted to go back inside after that.

My brother came over for dinner Saturday night. While we were waiting for it to finish cooking, I introduced him to City of Heroes. That kid played until 3:30 in the morning. He took a new character and leveled to 9 or 10 in one night. Course, that character is on my account and he can’t use my account while back in College. So he went out, bought the game, installed it on another computer of mine, and remade that character. She is either level 5 or 6 now. The nice thing though, I have someone who is willing to play when I want to play! HURRAY! And yes, I know someone is going to ask, it is a female character, just like all the rest of us!

So the best thing that happened this weekend was my daughters near death. And that because she was so cool about it. No hesitation. Scream and run.

We did get new fish for the fish tank. I want to set up a salt water tank. My dad has a 55 gallon tank. The perfect size for that sort of system. But we will see. I have to finish the basement first. As things are now, I have no room for another fish tank.
