Jasmine turned 7 yesterday. She is getting so big now. Her gift from us was a lego set oriented toward a feminine audience. Jasmine loves it, and was so exited to start building it this morning. It is a lego house with 5 areas, two of which she was able to assemble before her birthday "Tea Party" started today. I finally got Johnny down for a nap right before the party so that should help. I also got the family guest/kids computer setup running Linux Mint. It's the "cooler than ubuntu" linux. Where Ubuntu has strayed down a path of bleeding edge, Linux Mint is more along the lines of keep it simple like a Mac, but as familiar as Windows...
I've got a lot of school work to finish this weekend. A 300 word forum post on some readings and a 250 word response to another reading. I have yet to start finish the readings. My school reading load is going to rip me a new one this semester, but all should be good if I can even retain 10% of what I am reading, I will have a new encyclopedia of knowledge at my disposal.
I need to finish organizing and cleaning the bonus room tonight. My hope is to have a clean room to think and write my stuff tonight...or play Mortal Kombat.
Side note, Hyun called me this week, and that is STILL the highlight of my week. It's been difficult without him around, but the there have also been a lot of positive adjustments from his departure. I am choosing to dwell on the positives to keep my spirits up. That being said, I can't help but think of Catan and Risk when I think of Hyun, and I need to host another game night. Perhaps in February.
Anyone interested in some Catan soon?
