I'm supposed to blog each day for seven days. I forgot all about this yesterday. Oops.
I am going to blame it on Carcassonne.
No, not the famous walled city in France.
The addicting board game.
I was introduced to it this past weekend at winter camp. It is easy to learn, easy to play, fun, and different every time.
Who could ask for anything more?
I bought my own copy via Amazon. It arrived yesterday.
Therefore, I completely did not think about blogging. At all.
J-Bird really likes the game. I see us spending many happy hours playing together. Meanwhile, Z-man is learning all about counting by two's through playing. Trincy seems relatively un-interested.
I think I will get an expansion pack, soon.
EDIT:
Well, I'll be. Apparently, I have missed TWO days of the seven day challenge I had for myself. I don't even know what to make of that.
I suppose I will consider it a successful challenge if it gets me to update my blog more frequently.

Worst. Winter. Ever.
It's been a while since I wrote. My friend over at Teach A Fish knows I struggle with maintaining my blog. She challenged me to post 7 blog entries in 7 days. Here's where she got the idea.
So, I wondered what I should write about.
I started with updating my Profile information. I have discovered that I may be less ENFP and More ENFJ, or that I vacillate between the two, or something, So, I changed that part. Then I realized that ALL THREE of my kids have had birthdays since I last posted (for SHAME!), so I changed that part.
Then it was the moment of truth - time to actually update this blog.
I thought I might sit here and rant about any number of trials and interesting-to-me-only challenges I am facing lately, but then decided that a general rant about something everyone could get behind was in order.
So, I am picking on the weather.
Let me tell you, I am the biggest "cooler weather" fanatic around. By the end of summer, I am ready to embrace the crisp, fall air and break out the turtlenecks and textured sweaters. Typically, Michigan winters barely phase me. I take a coat with me when I go places, sure, but I am very likely to leave it in the car or leave it behind wherever I go, since I hardly feel the need to wear it.
Not this year.
This year, I have realized that I really, REALLY like 30 Degree Winter, I desperately, VEHEMENTLY dispise 17 Degree With A Windchill Of -25 Winter.
Husband has always talked of an eventual move to FLA. In the past, realizing I'd be missing 30 Degree Winter should we make such a move, I have poo-poo'd his suggestions that we become snow birds.
This year, when he offhandedly mentioned a "someday" move to Arizona, I started sending him Tuscon's promising ZIllow listings.
You know it's bad when I want out, folks.
Okay. So, I've complained about the weather. Now I feel guilty for introducing negativity into your day. So, I guess I'll try to end this update with something positive.
ON A POSITIVE NOTE: One day (and only one), last week, it was 40 degrees. I threw my jacket on the ground, opened the sunroof, and turned the Satellite radio to the 80's station. It was simply glorious. Of course, I closed the sunroof right away. However, it was still REALLY SUNNY inside the Tahoe and I was in a GREAT mood.
It felt so good to have my "normal" MI winter back.
Normal Michigan Winter, I want you back for good!!
